About Knott & Santoro

A law practice with equal focus on the client, the profession, and the greater good.

Knott & Santoro is currently a father and son law practice with a long history and deep ties to the state and community. The firm has been in existence in New Haven County since 1930 and represented the Town of Cheshire for over 35 years. We see our profession as our way we serve our community, employees, and families. We see practicing law to be a privilege and an honor which we take seriously. We have a truly excellent record and reputation for competence and ethics, and encourage you to give us a search online; we also enjoy what we do. We enjoy meeting new clients and solving their problems. When you do come to our office, you will find a relaxed atmosphere without pretensions. We offer every person the opportunity for an introductory meeting without worrying about payment. Some people's problems can be solved in our first meeting while other problems need our representation; regardless, we take the time to listen to your entire story and ask questions and hopefully provide you with an answer. Our goal is not to land a client, but to build a relationship. A note about our fees: We are well-aware of the public view of lawyers and legal fees. You will find our fees to be very competitive; we look at each situation individually, and come up with a fee structure that works for your particular case and financial situation. Your case may require hourly payment, a flat-fee, a contingency, or a combination of all three. We tend not to charge our clients for short phone calls or quick visits and work very hard to ensure that our fee agreement and our invoices are transparent and fair to you. Again, it is our goal to work toward building a relationship with you.

Hired Attorney Andrew S. Knott

Andrew and his firm work their absolute hardest to deliver the best results for their clients. Attorney Andrew Knott is diligent, ethical, extremely competent in the work he does, and he does it with charisma. Robert Santoro, Esq. assisted on my case as well, and I extend the same compliments to him, as well as all other staff members who worked on our case. My mother and I had a rough time while our case was litigated for roughly two years. But there was always clear communication, transparency, honesty, and a sense of trustworthiness we were able to hold onto while the courts went through their motions. Lawsuits can turn a person into a basket case, and he handled all of our concerns with the utmost respect and patience. He was able to see through all of what was happening in our case and delivered results. I wholeheartedly recommend Andrew Knott and his firm to service your legal matters.

Hired Attorney Andrew S. Knott

Attorney Knott was amazing to my family and handled my in-law's estate with top-notch expertise. We found him to be very kind and professional, and never ruffled by the (many) questions I sent to him via email! He took care of everything for us. I never felt stressed or uneasy about our probate matters -- even when a couple instances required extra attention -- because Andrew was on the case. He is extremely knowledgeable in the field. You just could not be in better hands.

Hired Attorney Andrew S. Knott

I met Attorney Andrew S. Knott through Lawyer Referral Service of New Haven County Bar Association. Following an initial consultation, I hired him to resolve a complicated estate of which I was Personal Representative. He maintained ongoing contact to explain case developments and clarify issues. He put forth significant effort. I appreciate Attorney Knott's transparency, in establishing a professional working relationship through treating clients with honesty, fairness, and respect. Thank you.

Hired Attorney Andrew S. Knott

My husband suffered a hemorrhagic stroke requiring him to be airlifted to a metropolitan hospital. Medicare initially denied full coverage for the transport. With Andrew Knott’s guidance and expertise we were granted a hearing before a federal administrative law judge who subsequently ruled in our favor. In a timely way Andrew kept us abreast on the progress in the case. We were very happy with his professionalism and knowledge of the law.

Mr. Andrew Knott made me feel like a friend from the first day I walked through his doors. I originally went into the office to see if I felt comfortable and to shop around to find a good Lawyer to prepare something of great importance to me. After 15 minutes I realized That he was my Lawyer. Andrew is understanding and caring and very helpful. He took the time to explain things to me that weren't clear to me. I recommend This office to any and everyone.

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.
