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.

A better experience than we ever could have imagined!

I was hit by a car while out running and nearly lost my life. Our family had never worked with a lawyer before and I was overwhelmed and intimidated at the thought. But I called Knapp & Roberts hoping for some answers and it was the best choice I could have made. Craig spoke with me the first time I ...called his office, truly heard my story, and explained things in an understandable way, setting realistic expectations from the very first day. His office was prompt and professional with all communication, and extremely organized as they came up with a plan regarding my serious injuries and extensive treatment and recovery. I am so happy to say that my story has a happy ending. Knapp & Roberts helped us make all the right choices from the legal perspective, and we had the most favorable monetary outcome possible. They did everything right from the very first day. Our family is forever grateful for Craig and his team's expertise. Thank you will never be enough!!!

Great and knowledgeable Lawyer, wonderful team

My first meeting with Mr. Craig Knapp was at my house, it was a life changing incident for my family. He came, listened and allowed me to present my case to him, he held and kissed my daughter and after the meeting he said I will naturally fight for you and your family, but he never failed to mentio...n that it will be a long road ahead. His advise and wise counsel along the way was of immense value, and seeing him fight to the end for my family gives me the confidence to recommend him and his wonderful team as the best lawyer when you want your story to be told and heard. Great job!!

Compassionate, caring legal team

We were fortunate to work with Craig Knapp and Dana Roberts when our son tragically died form severe altitude sickness at the Base Camp of Mount Everest in Tibet in October, 2009. Craig, Dana and Dave Abney are compassionate, caring attorneys who worked diligently to bring our wrongful death case to ...trial. Although it did not happen, I would highly recommend this firm to anyone who is in need of a competent, caring team. They are fully invested in each case that they handle.

Mr. Knapp is a fantastic Consultant for someone like myself unfamiliar with medical terminology related to my wife's accident.

Mr. Knapp helped me with several decisions which I did not know how to deal with until he gave me excellent legal and medical consultation, extremely pertinent information from consulting with him. I would hire him.

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.
