Hired Attorney Brett H. Knight 2021Mr. Knight treated me like family. He was compassionate and patient with my many questions and several long emails. He was always prompt to return an email or a phone call. He was reassuring and confident. I felt safe knowing he would take care of everything...and he did. He went above and beyond to help me with my case. Truthfully, I thought I would have to pay much more for the time he spent and for all he has done to help me. I could not speak more highly of my attorney. Brett Knight is the best!

Hired Attorney Richard S. Jaffe 2018-2019I was recently involved in a case involving multiple felonies and two separate states. I ended up retaining a local lawyer and an expensive, popular lawyer who specialized in cases such as mine. Concerned about the potential consequences i met with Mr. Jaffe and Mr. Knight and from the initial consultation my experience with their firm was as different as night and day from other comparable law firms (based on price and reviews). They were by far the most involved and dedicated and seemed to be the first attorneys to actually take my case seriously. They pursued a variety of outside the box options and seemed to exhaustively research every detail of my case. Above all they kept me up to date of every event and step required of me, most of the time contacting me before i even knew there was something i needed to be aware of. This was a far cry from having to call up my other attorneys weekly and still failing to get an appropriate response.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
