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.

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!

Thank you for everything!

THANK YOU!! Craig and the rest of the team at Knapp & Roberts were great throughout the entire process. They made it possible for our family to handle a very difficult situation in the best way possible - and allowing us to express our concerns. You legitimately showed care and concern for our feeli...ngs and had our best interests at heart. Your professionalism and caring are unparalled. It means a lot to me and my family to be treated with such respect and understanding. Without your kind-hearted approach I don't know what we would have done. I will always recommend your firm to anyone that needs a great attorney with morals. Nothing will bring my grandpa back but you helped bring peace to everyone in my family, most importantly my grandma. I cannot thank you enough for taking the case and being such a great man.

Professional and Courtious

I would like to start off by saying Thank You for all your firm has done for my daughter and younger bother. You made it possible for our family to handle a very difficult situation in the best way possible - and allowing us to express our concerns and to see each case through to the end without drop...ping the ball on any level. Your professionalism is one of the most important factors that i would like to thank your firm for. It means a lot to me and my family to be treated with such respect and understanding in such difficult times. I am truly great full to have been able to connect with you during such a hectic situation dealing with my daughter being attacked by a dog and then when your firm stepped in to take care of the family with the loss of my younger brother. Without your kind hearted approach and professionalism i don't know what i would have done. I will always recommend your firm to anyone that needs a great attorney with morals and the ability to hear what is needed to get the best out of a hectic situation. We are truly blessed to have been able to find your firm. Sincerely, Michael

Wrongful Death in Nursing Home

My wife and her two brothers retained Knapp and Roberts after their mother suffered an accident in a nursing home that caused her death. The nursing home corporation quickly gathered the staff and instituted a series of damage control actions. In spite of the impediments, Knapp and Roberts conducte...d numerous interviews, challenged findings, successfully argued them in the AZ Supreme Court and negotiated an equitable settlement. My wife and her brothers will always grieve their mother, but Knapp and Roberts were able to bring a degree of closure to these sad circumstances. It's my sincere belief that Craig Knapp and his firm met and overcame daunting obstacles that would have left lesser lawyers foundering.

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.
