Professional personal service

I am a small business owner and I have utilized Mr. Knowlton's services on multiple occasions. Recently I was contacted by the BBC with a request to purchase some of my IP for one of their productions. I was very much unaware how to proceed. His knowledge of International Legal Laws was remarkable. H...e provided me with sage advice with much personal insight. He explained the pros and cons of moving forward with the project.

Family Table Style with Comprehensive Approach

Day one. I called Mr. Knowlton's firm from out of town. Brian Knowlton answered the phone and heard my issue with request for Guardianship of my elderly father. He immediately asked to see any supporting docs, i.e. A will that endorsed my father's wishes. In today's high technology age Brian only ...uses secure and direct means to review. This helped to provide a real time answer whether he could help and I knew based on his inquiries and early detailed response he is the attorney for hire. Attorney Knowlton was available for hearing additional concerns during the application process for guardianship. As the mounting circumstances showed a possibility of illicit activities perpetrated unbeknownst to my father, Mr. Knowlton was diligent and thorough during the investigation. It is only due to his guidance and surmounting evidence that additional protection and resolution was initiated to correct the wrongs done against my father by trusted caregivers. In a normal circle of life when adult children move away from home and want to have trusted people around their elderly parents it is alarming when those loyalties are betrayed. Brian Knowlton follows the law and provides detailed advice about what can be done. You receive all of the tools needed to make a firm decision about your case. He will only action what you wish to proceed. He worked on my father's behalf and navigated the state law with a seamless approach that does not feel intimidating. He has a clear head, genuine personality and thorough skill to apply to a multitude of Estate needs. His interaction allowed me to focus on being the child, the caregiver, and the companion to my father during an otherwise stressful time. He shares exactly what is accomplished on a regular basis. He remarks about his own personal schedule if he will be offline due to caring for his own mother. This gives a velvet touch that he tangibly understands devotion and shows solidarity. If you need interim updates or simply have a question he is always responsive. His professionalism and family-table style constitute a caring display and precise demonstration of his ability to leave no stone unturned. I was invoiced only after receiving thorough explanation of what will be done and a prompt follow up after it was completed. The invoicing pattern is real time and clear. It really was the simplest acknowledgment I ever saw and I began to enjoy seeing the notifications pop up because it signified Mr. Knowlton interceded and is making headway.

One of the true "Good Guys"

I had used Brian Knowlton as a lawyer in my business for about a year dealing with intellectual property and copyright issues; with much satisfaction, unfortunitly I found myself in a divorce situation and I asked for Brian's assistance. After the completion of Brian's degree he mentored with some o...f the finest lawyers family law attorneys and he decided to make this area of law his speciality; wow, the man knows his stuff. My case and divorce was easy and completed in record time- Brian personally took the time with me so that every detail was covered- neiogated with the other side in expert fashion so that drama and emotionally roadblocks were avoided, and presented a winning deal to both parties- I could not be happier.

Professional, Thoughtful SHARK!

Mr. Brian Knowlton is truly one of the best. He is my first call for any situation requiring legal services. It is SO difficult to find a responsive, brilliant, creative, hardworking attorney, but alas if you are looking to Mr. Knowlton, you have found one. He will be thoughtful, kind and courteous w...ith you and a total beast with your opponent, not giving up easily and creatively working for your benefit. I have no stronger recommendation then Mr. Knowlton!
