Professional and Competent

I have been a client of Mr. McKnight on more than one occasion. He helped my family and I navigate some rough waters. His knowledge of Personal Injury and our legal community is remarkable. If you are looking for an attorney who will communicate with his client and be a relentless advocate, then I st...rongly recommend Mr. McKnight.

Superb Personal Injury Attorney and Advocate

During what was an already complicated pregnancy, I was rear ended at 5 months along. The responsible party's insurance wanted to send an rn to my house to verify the my unborn child and I were ok. No ultrasound, fetal monitoring, etc! My chiropractor recommended Cleve to me and I'm so glad he did.... He took a very scary and stressful situation and ensured I had proper care and treatment up through delivery and postpartum. My medical bills were completely covered. He explained entire process and went above and beyond the call of duty. Anyone in Bakersfield needing a Personal Injury or Work Comp attorney, please go to Cleve McKnight- you'll be glad you did!

Mr. McKnight really cared about my case

I was a passenger sitting in an SUV that was stopped on the shoulder of the freeway as my son assisted the driver of a disabled vehicle when a drunk driver recklessly hit our car. I was seriously injured and my poor son watched as the other car struck ours. He was so worried. My husband had died a y...ear before and he was worried that this would cause the death of his mother. We chose McKnight, McKnight, McKnight & Mcknight as our attorneys and Cleve McKnight made sure that we were legally protected. Honestly, we were on the verge of going under financially because of this accident but Mr. McKnight made sure that both me AND my son were fully compensated for the harm that the drunk driver caused. I can honestly say that without Mr. McKnight's help, I don't know what we'd have done. I want to recommend Mr. McKnight to everyone who's been injured by a reckless or negligent driver because I'm confident that he can help you and make sure that you're legal rights are fully enforced!

Highest level of legal expertise and professionalism

In December of 2012, I was involved in an automobile accident which resulted in a shoulder injury that required surgery. I was parked off the roadway when my vehicle was hit by a distracted driver. The insurance company offered me $150.00 to settle my case. That’s when I decided to seek legal counsel... from the law firm of McKnight, McKnight, McKnight & McKnight. They provided me with the highest level of legal expertise and professionalism anyone could ask for. My phone calls and emails were always promptly responded to, and I was kept informed throughout the entire process. I really appreciate everything Cleve McKnight did for me in reaching a favorable settlement without having to go through a long, drawn out court battle. I would recommend Cleve McKnight to anyone who needed a personal injury attorney.

I strongly recommend Mr McKnight as a personal injury lawyer.

I was in a serious car accident that totalled my Infiniti. I was hit from in front and my knee was jammed into the dash board. I had surgery on my knee and the knee now is fine but, I had an allergic reaction to something in the dressing that covered my knee surgery. I received 3rd degree burns from ...the reaction and had to undergo skin grafts and a stay at the Grossman burn center. Mr. McKnight recommended the burn center to me and made sure that I got admitted. The doctors there told me that the local ER doctors at KMC had failed to notice that my knee was becoming infected and that I was in danger of getting gangrene. Thank God for my treatment and thank God for Mr. McKnight. Mr Mcknight also took all of the pressure off of me by handling all of the legal aspects of my case and he got me a very sizeable settlement. Since then I've told everyone that I meet to call Mr. McKnight if they've been injured in an accident. He absolutely made my very tough situation more bearable and less stressful.
