Hired Attorney George H. Knott

If you want to win your case, you should hire George Knott. I had a very complex case where I was being sued by my former lawyer! George Knott made certain that we had every document correct, worked with me as I learned how these things work and then destroyed the arguments of the person attempting to basically extort money from me. Mr. Knott was incredible during our depositions and hearings, was fair on billing, provided excellent defenses and was extremely ethical. Highly recommend!

Hired Attorney George H. Knott

I had the good fortune to engage George Knott and his firm for a very complex multi-party construction matter. I found George and all the members of his team to be very focused and efficient. George has the rare ability to evaluate cases in a thoughtful manner, provide incredibly skillful discovery during depositions, act as an aggressive advocate as well as give excellent and practical advice. Aaron Haak, George Gift and Nichole Jayne perform like a well oiled machine. Highly recommended.

Hired Attorney George W. Gift III

hired George Gift, an attorney from the Knott•Ebelini•Hart Law Firm to represent me in a case involving a contract dispute. The case was resolved out of court and I was very pleased with the outcome. As a layperson, I had little knowledge of the law. Thus, I relied heavily on his expertise. opinions and sound advice I received from him. I was amazed by his attention to detail. I feel I was privileged to have worked with Mr. Gift, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a contract attorney.

Mr. Hart tells his clients what they want to hear rather than what the law requires. I recommend that you hire a different attorney from a different law firm.

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.
