    Randy explained all of my options very clearly that I could also take my case to small claims court. He also wrote a very nice letter trying to settle my case out of court, and he was upfront about everything .

    It was a pleasure to work with Mr. Knutson and his staff. The help they provided from start to finish with my law suit was timely, effective and ended with a satisfying resolution. I was always informed as to what was occurring in my case with very clear communication. My calls and emails were answered timely and in a personal way. I never felt like I was just a another case. I will continue to recommend them to my friends and family.

    Randy Knutson review

    5.0 stars

    Posted by

    I've worked with Randy Knutson on a couple different cases. He represented me personally on a case involving a local governmental action taken against me that I thought was unjust. Randy acted quickly and respectfully and the case was settle in an appropriate manner. Randy has also consulted with our company on numerous employee actions. He is a voice for people in our community who are oftentimes not heard. Because of this he has helped us understand the hiring opportunities that exist in our community.

    After my wife passed away in a automobile accident, Randy handled the auto and health insurance claims. Randy was professional and supportive to my needs which allowed me to stay focused with my family. With Randy's experience and knowledge on this type of claim, he was able to get the proper funds within a short period of time. I would highly recommend Randy for any type of needs.

    I am an international student who got into an accident. I was completely unaware of rules and regulations of how things work in US and without Randy's help I would've been completely lost. He's very good at what he does and I would recommend him to anyone who's in need of a personal injury lawyer.
