Compassionate, Empathetic, Creative and Logical

I was incredibly nervous about hiring an attorney since in my 43 years, I never needed to hire one... and I honestly was avoiding doing so for a long time. Mr. Knauss's confidence, straightforwardness, intelligence, and compassion were the perfect mix for me. He knows what he's doing. When I was frus...trated or angry about this long case, he listened and had me look at the realistic legal side of things as well as to continue to keep positive...which allowed us to persevere and achieve our legal goals in a timely manner., Throughout the entire judicial process, although intimidating, Mr. Knauss made me aware of the intricacies of the legal system I was not aware of and what possible outcomes could happen. Mr Knauss is very personable, knowledgeable and respectful outside of the courtroom...and exactly the same inside the courtroom as well. What you see is what you get...well worth time, money, and definitely works for you in every angle possible to win your case. I would hire again in a second if I needed to!

Extraordinary Service

I was incredibly nervous about hiring an attorney, and certainly I didn't think anyone would understand what I was experiencing. Mr. Knauss's confidence and compassion were the perfect mix for me. He knows what he's doing. He asked me the right questions and listened to me if I was upset, which not o...nly helped him understand my case, but also helped me feel better about the whole process. Mr. Knauss was very personable and respectful, and when we got to the courtroom, I realized he wasn't simply an attorney, he was my champion who made sure my rights were protected in every way..

This is your guy!

Mr. Knauss was absolutely wonderful. He always gave me an honest assessment of what to expect during the course of my case which lasted about 9 months. Most importantly, is that Steven delivered on all terms that were in question. Steven was accessible before, during, and after my case, and always to...ok extra time answering questions and concerns. I couldn't be happier with the end result. Steven argued well and professionally in the courtroom and I would highly recommend him to anyone going through the difficult situation. In my case, it was child support modification and the long overdue buy out of my half of the marital home. Thank you, Steven for all your help!

Personable and empathetic to your individual case.

I initially went just as a consult and later hired Steven for a TPO case. He worked quickly and really helped lessen my anxieties in the already stressfull event. Later I had him help me with a child custody case and his availability and willingness to always spend the time answering my endless quest...ions was truly valuable. Again, he helped immensely in quieting my nervous mind in the most tumultuous event in my life. He will be honest with you and dedicated to representing your case. This is an attorney you can trust!

Steven is a top attorney

I have dealt with many lawyers in the past and nothing can compare to Steven. I had a bad custody matter because of my ex who wanted to move to California. Steven got me custody of my kids and generous child support. I would not be with my kids today if it hadn’t been for Steven and his dedication to... my family. He is very friendly and level-headed to a fault. And does not talk down to you like most lawyers do. He talks to you more like a friend. From the minute I spoke with Steven he was caring and insightful. It was an incredibly stressful process and he made it a lot easier. He promptly returned calls and emails, talked me off the ledge when I was stressed out, and does everything he says he’s going to do. He knows the law and he was always upfront with me, even if it was sometimes hard for me to hear. Steven is one of a kind. I would recommend him to anyone any day.
