Medical Malpractice 50%

Everyone makes mistakes. But when doctors, nurses, therapists, or dentists make them, the effects can last a lifetime. Patients have a right to expect that medical procedures will be properly performed. Medical malpractice attorneys represent you if you are injured by a healthcare provider's careless or accidental mistakes. For example, if a doctor leaves behind gauze in your body during surgery, resulting in an infected wound that requires even more surgery, the doctor committed medical malprac

Personal Injury 40%

A personal injury lawyer works with clients who have suffered a physical or emotional injury, usually by accident or mistake. For example, if you are in a car accident or are the victim of a botched surgery, a personal injury attorney can help. They know how the insurance claim process works, they know what evidence to gather, and they know how to calculate and present a claim for damages. Many personal injury attorneys take cases on a contingency basis.

Tremendous Law Firm!

We can't say enough good things about Knapp and Roberts. Craig represented my brothers and me against a big insurance company and negotiated a very favorable settlement. The insurance company lawyer was really tough, but Craig was able to keep the discussions on the most relevant considerations in ...spite of all the opposition's maneuvering. Part of the case included making a winning and precedent-setting argument before the AZ Supreme Court! He was also very pleasant to work with, and very ably explained the topics that we needed to focus on.

Brilliant!

aising a child with special needs is a journey. Never in a million years did I expect myself to be in need of an attorney to walk along side of me for another leg of the journey after a horrific incident. I thank God that Knapp & Roberts was the firm we chose to help us navigate an extremely difficu...lty time in our lives. The dynamic duo of Craig Knapp and David Friedman was a force to be reckon with. Ways I describe Craig: a fearless ethical leader, compassionate, brilliant, trusts his instincts, personally responds to correspondences and provides emotional support every step of the way. David is passionate, assertive, extremely knowledgeable, articulate, detail oriented and caring. Craig and David were so diligent over 4 years that it took to get our case settled. It took going to a jury trial that they handled in a professional manner. They found ethical experts to testify, kept us informed, helped us cope with the emotionally draining days in court and worked tirelessly. We felt genuinely taken care of like family and they had our best interest at heart the entire time. I am so glad we trusted them with our case and would absolutely recommend Knapp & Roberts.

Top Choice for Wrongful Death/ Personal Injury

Craig was one of many lawyers I interviewed for the wrongful death lawsuit of a family member at an Assisted Living Facility. From the first time we spoke, he was compassionate, kind and up front about the type of settlement he thought we could receive. He gave me his cell phone number and he was al...ways quick to respond to calls, texts and emails. He was professional as well as empathetic to my loss. In the end he got us a much larger settlement than we expected. I would highly recommend Craig, and Knapp and Roberts, to anyone dealing with a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit.

Knapp Cared for Us

Craig Knapp was highly instrumental in bringing a satisfactory resolution and closure in the death of our father. From beginning to conclusion, he treated our family personably and considerately. Losing Dad was traumatic, but Craig guided us every step of the way. The first 2 lawyers we contacted wou...ldn’t give us the time of day. Craig was never dismissive and always genuinely concerned. Caring, professional, and always honest, Craig is the right man for the job. Thank you so very much!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
