Very helpful and effective

Mr.Knapp was very helpful and effective getting my 2nd erpo dismissed. Yes these unhinged leftists in WA state were overreaching their authority here and thankfully common sense prevailed. A messy case with 1500+ pages of documentation I think that helped push this mess over the edge.

very helpful and supportive

Mr.Knapp was very helpful and supportive clearing my politically motivated ERPO. We exchanged many emails and successfully avoided more court efforts. I had sent a harsh email criticizing some local politicians and they responded by taking my guns. In the past these kinds of politiicans were tar and ...feathered and run out of town or worse. Thanks again.

Gun Rights Restored

Mr Knapp did exactly what he told me he would do, and when he told me he would do it. His services enable me to hunt with my grandchildren again and are greatly appreciated. I would recommend him to anybody looking to have their rights restored.

I highly recommend mark if you are looking to restore your gun rights . I hired him and with in 2 & 1/2 months I had my rights restored back to me. He was very professional , replied to every email I sent him, never made any false promises ,he stuck to his word and everything happened according to ...how he said it would. I appreciate someone who keeps his word.

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.
