Facing certain legal troubles in regards to a family member, I decided to hire Jason based on his online reviews and it turned out to be a great decision. He was very thorough always accessible. Criminal charges can be quite nerve wracking and potentially life altering. I would highly recommend hiring Attorney Knight to anyone.

To start my case was very difficult so it was an uphill battle from the beginning. He was always available to guide me, keep me updated, answer my questions and was always honest and attentive. We occasionally butted heads but that was due to the high stress of the case and differing viewpoints on how to get to the end result. In the end he was able to secure the best possible plea deal. The judge even remarked how hard he fought for me. Just about every police officer and probation officer have been amazed at the offer I was given for my extremely difficult case. So despite some differing of opinions I will always recommend Jason and stand by his decisions.

Jason Knight had a great approach to my case. I was facing some serious DUI charges and from the first consultation he asked me what I wanted to happen. I told him that I needed to keep my license and my job and he made that happen. I am so thankful for his keen insight and ability helping me to keep my life on track and intact.

Attorney Knight is rigorous and meticulous in his approach. He has great knowledge and developed a efficient strategy on the case, and it had produced great outcome for my case. I am completely satisfied with Mr. Knight's work on my behalf, and strongly recommend him to those who look for an intelligent and competent lawyer in this area.

Being a Military Veteran I need an experienced Attorney with a straight forward, detailed plan of attack. Jason was able to successfully negotiate (using the Valor Act) the dismissal of my O.U.I in Massachusetts. I would highly recommend Jason Knight, he contacts you back promptly, keeps you informed, and does what he says he can do. He absolutely never under delivered.

I couldn't have been more happier on the outcome of my ticket violation case. I was afraid that I would lose and had my doubts even though I was innocent, but Jason was amazing and asked all the right questions to get the answers we needed and the judge Dismissed it. He constantly kept in contact with me by phone or email and always responded promptly. Highly Recommended and I can't thank you enough for how you fought for me and gave 100% to my case. If ever needed in the future I wouldn't think about anyone else representing me but Jason Knight. Thank you again!

Attorney Knight is one of the most respectable attorneys that I know. He handled my legal matter promptly and kept me abreast of everything that it entailed. He is knowledgeable about the law and advised me of all my legal options. I highly recommend Attorney Knight as he truly values your best interest.

Most importantly Jason worked hard and got us a fair and reasonable outcome. He is extremely respectful, highly knowledgeable, and very quick to respond when you have questions. While our case was just another case in his workload, he understood it was a significant, unusual, and extremely stressful life event for us. He helped us make the best of a bad situation. We had very basic questions on how the process worked yet he never made us feel like any question was dumb.

My wife and I have worked with Attorney Knight for situations involving two of our family members over the past 2 years. We have enjoyed all of our interactions with him from the first time we met him in his office. He is all that you want out of an attorney--professional, dedicated, thoughtful, appropriately assertive, and assures the best results occur. On top of that he is extremely courteous, caring, not arrogant, organized, engaging, and responsive to messages and emails. In interacting with our family members he talked with them at their level and made sure they understood all that was occuring, and told them everything in a direct, appropriate manner. He also is extremely knowledgeable and if he is not sure of something, he will get the answer. We felt his fees were fair. We recommend his services without reservation and Jason would be our first contact should we need legal representation again.

My family and I agree Jason offered insight and equal weight to all of the perspectives of the situation. I feel like he reflected on our situation from the perspectives of a professional lawyer, as someone who remembers being a teenager (our case involved our teenager), and as a parent. The office staff was courteous, always polite and Jason 100% always got back to me during office hours or after. I felt like my concerns were handled confidentially and sensitively. When you need a lawyer, you're already very emotionally charged and may feel like you have no control over the situation; you need a lawyer who makes you feel better, calms you down, puts things into perspective and makes you feel like everything is under control - Jason did that for us. He didn't sugar-coat things though either, he told us the "good and the bad" news...again, you need honesty and transparency in a lawyer - Jason offered us that in a professional, judgement-free, intelligent manner. I appreciate all Jason did for my family very much. I feel like he goes above and beyond his responsibilities by being not just a professional, but a gentleman.
