Jerry has helped my family in the past and when I received a phone call at work that my daughter had been in a near fatal accident the only thing on my mind was my little girl and the last thing I was thinking about was getting a lawyer but I knew that I needed one that I could trust and that would do right by my family and the only logical choice at that point in time was knafo law

I originally worked with Attorney Jerry Knafo about 9 years ago. He and his team, especially Christine Moser, have been so helpful to both me and my family during some of our most difficult times throughout the years. I admire Attorney Knafo and his hard work and impeccable ability to empathize with his clients in order to maximize their deserved and desired results. He gives great advice and is a great man in general. Both Christine Moser and Jerry Knafo were both patient with me, and understanding of my needs and I couldn't have asked for better service. If you need an attorney. I highly recommend Knafo from personal experience 10/10.

Looking for a fabulous, personable attorney? Search no more!! Jerry Knafo is truly amazing. My husband and I came to him after a devastating medical incident. At the point I came to him I felt hopeless, lost and truly heartbroken. Jerry immediately made me feel the hope I should have had all along. He guided me every step of the way! I truly admire his wisdom. He is absolutely good at what he does! So good that he was able to help me get a full (very large) refund for money that my husband and I had paid for multiple medical procedures that were carried out incorrectly resulting in devastating effects. I can’t say enough kind words as he made such a bad situation right! I am forever grateful. In addition his office staff is amazing! April and Melissa are so pleasant it was always a pleasure calling into the office.

Consulted Attorney

I recently had occasion to seek out professional counsel on a personal injury matter. Based on his reputation, online reviews, and word-of-mouth recommendations, I chose Atty. Jerry Knafo. And I'm so glad I did. The advice he gave me was direct and helpful. And in addition to being professional, knowledgeable, and thorough, I found Atty. Knafo to be very personable and easy to talk to. Likewise his paralegal Jonean. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Atty. Knafo and his staff to my family and friends.
