Thorough and Deliberate

I have referred Alden to my closest friends and others who need a helping hand. The results have been excellent. Alden embraces new disputes and solves problems with enthusiasm, pragmatism and skill. I will continue to recommend Alden.

Highly recommend

If you happen to be in the market and need a lawyer, I would highly recommend Mr. Knisbacher. Through a referral was how I meet Alden K., who worked on my compensation case for a few months. My former employer denied paying my last compensation/ commission check and this is when Mr. Alden came in. He... was confident, extremely intelligent and seemed to always know what was coming next. Very knowledgeable of the law, he represented my case which was resolved with a very satisfactory out of the court settlement, which in turn saved money and time for both parties. He is honest, considerate and looking for his clients’ best interest.

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.
