This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Rude and non caring

Reached out to Mr. Knight with a debt collection issue. Not only did he not return my email, but when I finally got him on the phone, he could have cared less. Was by far the most rude and non caring lawyer I have ever had the displeasure of taking too. Told me he could not help and good luck, pho...ne went dead. If this bitter old man is so unhappy with his job, why continue to do it? And if you cannot help a person with an issue you advertise for, why say it is something you do? Save yourself the anguish, and do not call this old lawyer.

I'm sorry that Danny feels that I treated him rudely. I never received any email from him; and, when he called me out of the blue, using a "restricted" phone number, I was in the middle of something important and did not have time to talk. I graciously told him that I could not help him, and wished him luck on his problem. It is a bit of a stretch for him to characterize our short phone conversation as a "consultation"; rather, he called to see if I could help him, which I told him I could not, and that was the end of the conversation.

Excellent Advice and Responsiveness

Rod assisted me with a multi-state LLC merger issue I was dealing with. His wisdom, responsiveness and breadth of experience were exactly what I had been hoping for. I recommend Rod highly for any business needs you have. He is a great man to have standing behind you.

Helped Us Buy Our First House

We were given the opportunity to buy a house we had been renting for a few years. It was an unusual situation, as the house was not listed on the MLS, and the sellers wanted to use a realtor friend to do the deal himself. We wanted someone to represent our interests, so we hired Mr. Knight, and are... so glad we did. His advice was invaluable during negotiations, resulting in us getting the house for a price reduced well below what the sellers wanted. He always responded promptly and was knowledgeable and informative. I would definitely recommend Mr. Knight for his real estate services.

Highly Recommend

Mr. Knight is clearly very knowledgeable about his profession but what sets him apart from any service provider is that it's clear that he truly cares about his profession and the clients that he serves. He takes the time to provide very thorough answers to any and all questions in a very timely man...ner as if he's considering our situation as his own. My wife and I would highly recommend Mr. Knight for any business or real estate legal advice.

Thorough and thoughtful

Provided advice specific to my needs, thoroughly and thoughtfully. Would certainly engage his services on other issues of Arizona law.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
