John D Knodell IV

If you want an attorney who will work hard for you, care about you, and get you a good outcome, hire John D. Knodell IV – Ferder Casebeer & Knodell in Salem, Oregon. My son had a tough criminal case facing multiple felony charges. Marion County wanted to send him to prison for a long time, even thoug...h he was a first offender and an actively employed hard-working professional. John zealously advocated for my son and negotiated a resolution that avoided prison. Then 6 months later my son was unjustly arrested for but not convicted of a petty infarction, detained in a local jail, then sent to Marion County jail to be held for a probation violation charge and a threat of prison time. I retained John Knodell again. He was enraged and dropped everything when he learned about my son’s unfair situation. The very same day I hired him, like a bull in a China shop, John met with and convinced the Marion County district attorney to drop the probation violation charge and release my son from jail. John was amazing! He has a heart of gold as well as the heart of a lion and gives the utmost legal support and care to his clients without pause. For anyone needing a quality criminal defense attorney, I would highly recommend John D. Knodell IV a thousand times over. You will be well defended.

No one wants to need a criminal defense attorney, but if you do - John is your guy. He is amazing at it. He is kind, knowledgeable and got me a good deal. He walked me through everything, answered all of my questions, and just went above and beyond. I would 100% recommend John to anyone needing a...n experienced defense attorney - he will work his tail off for you.

I was looking at multiple cases in two separate counties. John took on the task of having to commute and to deal with two different county court systems to represent me. I was being held in a different county and had been held almost two weeks with no word from anyone at the jail as to why they were... continuing to hold me and when they were planning to transport me. It took John one day to get the county sheriff’s to finally give me an explanation as to what was going on and I was transported the very next day of transport. John was able to get my most serious cases dropped without even a court appearance. He took into account my claim of innocence but he was also realistic about my situation and circumstances. He provided me all of the information possible to ensure I could make the best decisions on how to proceed with my particular cases. I couldn’t be more pleased with the work he did for me and I now consider him not just my attorney, but a friend. He’s down to earth, humble and real, and I would recommend him to anyone who finds themselves in the very scary position of needing a criminal defense lawyer.
