Got exactly what I asked for.
When I first hired Mr. Knodel, I gave him what my best case scenario was for a plea deal, and that is exactly what he got for me. It was less than what the DA was requesting, but Mr. Knodel successfully argued on my behalf until the DA relented. His efforts are greatly appreciated.
"John is an excellent advocate for his clients. He is always prepared in court and is articulate in his arguments. John works hard to ensure his clients receive exceptional representation."
