Attorney Knafo and his team am been an asset to my family since day 1. When something life changing happens it can be scary not knowing what you will do or how it will be taken care of.

Jerry Knafo is an exceptional attorney: supportive, empathetic, and compassionate. He provided regular updates on the suit's progression and really understood the full extent of the trauma caused by the dog attack injury I sustained. Jerry provided exceptional communication and feedback throughout my case. Both he and Christine Moser, his kind and capable paralegal, were consistently prompt in taking or returning my calls whenever I needed to share information or request updates. More than just being a smart lawyer, Jerry possesses a deep wisdom and takes his work incredibly seriously. He maintained his composure admirably while dealing with the opposing counsel and parties. His negotiation skills truly stood out when the settlement offer was received. He advocated fiercely on my behalf, displaying a level of skill I have not experienced with any other attorney. He was able to obtain what I believe was a very just and fair compensation for my injury.

What can we say that has not already been said about Jerry Knafo and the Knafo Law firm? We had the pleasure of meeting Jerry, a Super Lawyer in every detail. The moment we stepped into the Knafo Law office and shared our story with Jerry, the burden from a very difficult experience was lifted. We knew we made the right decision. Jerry was attentive, listening to our story with empathy and respect. He carefully explained the process and next steps. Jerry's outstanding attention to detail, brilliant strategic efforts, and professionalism are impressive and made all the difference. He truly loves and excels at his law-craft and the people he serves. Throughout the case, Jerry's legal assistant Amber, kept us informed, answering questions thoughtfully and fully. Amber's approachability and eagerness to fully support the client makes her a valuable asset to the firm. We highly recommend Jerry and the team - there is no one better!

Jerry Knafo and his staff are fantastic. Out of all of the lawyers I reached out to - he was not only the most personable, but also was the only attorney to believe in my case ( and did he perform well? he 100% exceeded my expectations). Easy, simple, direct and completed quickly! Ps. His paralegal Melissa, is utterly the best!
