When I was represented by Jerry Knafo, he got me a substantial award that I was very happy with. It was so much money, I am still smiling. Jerry fought tooth and nail to get me that money. To this day, there are not enough "Thank You"s that I can give to him. He is the best and he is in the same League as the famous Attorney Melvin Belli and, that is the highest recognition that can be given to a local Personal Injury Lawyer. - Jimi

From the staff to Attorney Knafo there were always quick replies to my questions, but more importantly there were always excellent consultations as we proceeded. I was always left with several options which were prioritized for my benefit, which resulted in a much favorable settlement. Living in South Carolina I was able to have complete trust in Attorney Knafo.

Hired Jerry to handle my parent's serious car accident and was very happy I chose him and his firm. He and his staff handled EVERYTHING, allowing me to direct all of my attention to the health care needs of my family. He truly is a great attorney, with a such a nice personality, easy to talk to, yet very knowledgeable. Jerry is a great guy who doesn't talk down to you and treats you like you're family. He and his staff are the BEST!!

Today my husband and I completed our Estate Planning with Attorney Jerry Knafo and his staff. It could not have been a more positive, professional experience. Let's face it these are not topics people enjoy talking about. Jerry made us feel comfortable and at ease with all of our decisions. I highly recommend this firm to any potential client. Thank you Jerry and your staff for making this process so flawless.

If I could give Jerry Knafo one billion stars I would. He deserves it. He is the most humble, friendly, knowledgeable, compassionate, and efficient lawyer I have met. I would recommend him for everyone seeking an outstanding lawyer. Look no further, because you will not meet another lawyer you cares as much as Jerry does!

Jerry handled my case almost thirty years ago. Whenever I need advice I know I can call him and he always takes my call personally and promptly. In my book that's more like a friend than an attorney .

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
