A very competent atttorney!

Mark Knapp was very informed and helpful with my case. He took time and consideration to details to complete a legal resolve. I would highly recommend Mr. Knapp for informed legal issues.

Hardworking, fast, and helpful.

As a federal police officer I had difficulty getting quality legal advice on complex situations and policies. Mark was there for my team, he gave excellent advice and legal guidance at a very reasonable price. We are sincerely grateful for his help.

Mark Knapp, an excellent firearms advocate for Washington State/ by Byron Barton

Mark Knapp, has established a reputation as an excellent firearms advocate for Washington State. He is knowledgeable in state and federal firearms laws which have allowed him to protect his clients. He has represented me personally from the Federal Dist Ct to the 9th Cir Ct of Appeals. I personally ...have ten years of Para Legal research experience. Having worked with Mark, I understand how important America’s civil and constitutionals rights are. These are the reasons I hired Mark, a professional firearms attorney. Mark has the ability to effectively settle cases with BATF, FBI and prosecuting attorneys before trial, which is priceless. His experience and knowledge allows him to aggressively attack the prosecutors claims when his clients are charged with weapons violations. The federal government has the power and unlimited money to bring tremendous resources against you when facing potential state and federal firearm charges. Protecting your Constitutional Rights is a MUST. Byron B

  • 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.
