I was incredibly nervous about hiring an attorney since in my 43 years, I never needed to hire one... and I honestly was avoiding doing so for a long time. Mr. Knauss's confidence, straightforwardness, intelligence, and compassion were the perfect mix for me. He knows what he's doing. When I was frustrated or angry about this long case, he listened and had me look at the realistic legal side of things as well as to continue to keep positive...which allowed us to persevere and achieve our legal goals in a timely manner., Throughout the entire judicial process, although intimidating, Mr. Knauss made me aware of the intricacies of the legal system I was not aware of and what possible outcomes could happen. Mr Knauss is very personable, knowledgeable and respectful outside of the courtroom...and exactly the same inside the courtroom as well. What you see is what you get...well worth time, money, and definitely works for you in every angle possible to win your case. I would hire again in a second if I needed to!

Steven helped me through a challenging period, ending a business partnership that went sour quite fast. By the time I started working with his firm, conversations were no longer productive. He handled the negotiations in a wonderfully tactful manner and did an excellent job diffusing a tense situation without giving in. I would recommend Steven in a heartbeat to anyone needing to deal with a difficult business relationship.

I was incredibly nervous about hiring an attorney, and certainly I didn't think anyone would understand what I was experiencing. Mr. Knauss's confidence and compassion were the perfect mix for me. He knows what he's doing. He asked me the right questions and listened to me if I was upset, which not only helped him understand my case, but also helped me feel better about the whole process. Mr. Knauss was very personable and respectful, and when we got to the courtroom, I realized he wasn't simply an attorney, he was my champion who made sure my rights were protected in every way..

Mr. Knauss was absolutely wonderful. He always gave me an honest assessment of what to expect during the course of my case which lasted about 9 months. Most importantly, is that Steven delivered on all terms that were in question. Steven was accessible before, during, and after my case, and always took extra time answering questions and concerns. I couldn't be happier with the end result. Steven argued well and professionally in the courtroom and I would highly recommend him to anyone going through the difficult situation. In my case, it was child support modification and the long overdue buy out of my half of the marital home. Thank you, Steven for all your help!

Steven helped me through a personal injury case involving a car accident. He was professional and responsive, and was good at explaining what was happening with my case and the options that I had. There were some complexities in dealing with both insurance companies that were involved. I was appreciative of his knowledge and of how he handled the situations that came up. He was quick to respond to my emails, and I always felt like things were being well taken care of. It lessened the stress of the situation considerably to have his involvement in the case. I hope to never have a problem requiring the service of an attorney again, but if I do Steven is the first guy I would call. I can recommend him unconditionally.

I have been a client of Steven's this past year. He has such a unique combination of listening with compassion and care, while being so perceptive, intelligent and steady. He has such strength and wisdom, and quickly sees right to the heart of the matter. He deals so kindly with other lawyers, while at the same time, is so sharp and insightful. He was always very professional and treated me like a real person and not just another case he was working on. He was always willing to answer any questions I had and explained things to me clearly and never confused me with all the legal stuff. After going through 2 other attorneys I know I am very fortunate to have worked with him.

I initially went just as a consult and later hired Steven for a TPO case. He worked quickly and really helped lessen my anxieties in the already stressfull event. Later I had him help me with a child custody case and his availability and willingness to always spend the time answering my endless questions was truly valuable. Again, he helped immensely in quieting my nervous mind in the most tumultuous event in my life. He will be honest with you and dedicated to representing your case. This is an attorney you can trust!

I hired Steven to help me obtain child support from my daughters father. It had been years and I never received anything. I kept going into Court but nothing would happen, I never got a dime. Then I hired Steven and finally I got child support. Steven also helped me get contributions toward medical premiums, dental, extracurricular activities, day care and more!! I couldn't believe it!! I have worked with many attorneys in the past and Steven is by far the most talented and understanding Attorney I have ever met. If you want results and you want an Attorney that understands you and your situation, hire Steven now!! You wont be disappointed.

I was looking for a divorce attorney. I called Mr. Knauss and he was very informative and professional. He encouraged me to take some time to figure out what I really wanted and explained the possible outcomes. Since then my wife and I have reconciled, but if I am ever in the situation to need a divorce attorney, Mr. Knauss will be the first attorney I call.

I have dealt with many lawyers in the past and nothing can compare to Steven. I had a bad custody matter because of my ex who wanted to move to California. Steven got me custody of my kids and generous child support. I would not be with my kids today if it hadn’t been for Steven and his dedication to my family. He is very friendly and level-headed to a fault. And does not talk down to you like most lawyers do. He talks to you more like a friend. From the minute I spoke with Steven he was caring and insightful. It was an incredibly stressful process and he made it a lot easier. He promptly returned calls and emails, talked me off the ledge when I was stressed out, and does everything he says he’s going to do. He knows the law and he was always upfront with me, even if it was sometimes hard for me to hear. Steven is one of a kind. I would recommend him to anyone any day.

After being arrested for a DUI, I was nervous and scared. I didn't know what to do in court or the steps involved. After considerable research, I met with Steven and was immediately put at ease. He was knowledgeable, courteous, and sympathetic. He didn't talk down to me. He didn't judge me. Most importantly, he treated me with respect and I could truly tell that he cared about me not only as a client, but as a person and that he really invested himself in my well being. The end-result of my case was exactly what I had expected based on Steven’s advice. This was a direct result of his knowledge and experience with the court and the system. I was very impressed with his argument in court and his professionalism and felt that the judge reduced my fines and my sentence because of Steven’s efforts. I have already recommended him to two other people and will continue to recommend him to anyone requiring the services of a defense attorney.

When my marriage ended, Steven helped me through the most difficult period of my life. It is clear that he understands that what occurs in the courtroom is only a small part of divorce. Steven is very practical and has a unique perspective that the other lawyers didn't have. We discussed the various ways I could protect myself and my children during the months that followed. Needless to say, I was very impressed with Steven. It was apparent that his primary focus was my best interest and that he was fully prepared to walk alongside me during the process. If you are looking for a great family law attorney, I highly recommend Steven.
