This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Very Unprofessional, has not fulfilled duties as agreed

I requested to meet back at the end of last year for divorce representation, to which he immediately responded by phone. We met the next day at his office and after reviewing my information, I agreed to pay the fee per our agreement, in exchange for his attorney services to handle my divorce case. I ...was told her would send monthly updates showing what he has done on my case each month, etc etc etc. We filed a response, but I then heard nothing from him afterwards, even after multiple emails, text messages and voice messages over several months. The only time I get a response from him is when I blow up his phone. Its beginning to feel like I was scammed because he just would never respond back, unless I called over and over and over.. Extremely unprofessional in my opinion. Here it is almost 8 months later and I am still not divorced. Nor have I received one single monthly update the entire time he has been my attorney. I am at the point to where I am thinking of contacting Arkansas Bar Association and filing a complaint. Worst attorney ever.

I do not represent this client, who posted a negative review as "Anonymous". I respond to most calls, texts and emails within a day, and take pride in being responsive to clients. If the client posted this in error, I hope they are able to get in contact with their attorney to resolve any problems they are having.

Did not fulfill duties as agreed

I requested to meet, via email, to discuss divorce representation, to which he immediately responded by phone. We met the next day at his office and after reviewing my information, I agreed to pay the ‘non-refundable“ fee per our agreement, in exchange for his attorney services to handle my divorce c...ase. He filed the initial response to my exe’s divorce summons a few weeks after our consultation, but I then heard nothing from him afterwards, even after multiple emails and voice messages over several months. I was forced to hire a new attorney and pay another fee. It almost felt like I was scammed because he just would never respond back. Extremely unprofessional in my opinion.

Didn't preform duties timely.

I hired Mr. Knutson and paid in full for services. He waited 8 months before he filed paperwork after I started a new job. This was after I left phone messages, text messages and emails. If you need it filed quickly, hes not the lawyer to use.

Success beyond my expectations!

Mr. Knutson successfully negotiated on my behalf and obtained a solution that was above and beyond of whatever I had hoped for. His wisdom, skills, and determination are remarkable.

Extremely helpful attorney

Mr. Knutson was extremely helpful to me when I asked him to help me with a down to the wire problem. He agreed to meet me the next morning in his office to discuss my situation. When we met he sat patiently listening to what was going on and then got to work on what could be done. He stayed very prof...essional even when I let out my emotions. After spending the better part of the day with me the charges were very reasonable. I would use him again if I need an attorney.
