I called Karl Knudsen and ask him to represent me in a case that I feared could result in some unexpected ramifications. I no longer live in the city of the case location, and I was concerned about having to miss work and responsibilities I have in my current city. Mr. Knudsen asked me to gather specific information, send it all to him, and he would do the best he could to have the charges reduced or dismissed. I never had to worry about whether or not he would be true to his word. He not only save me a trip by being reliable representation, but he also secured the best possible outcome for my situation. He is awesome and affordable! His legal assistant, Jessica, is also the best! I really had an extremely positive experience. I would recommend him to anyone and have.

In December we came to Mr. Knudsen with a complicated case fearing the worst but hoping for the best. I could tell right away that he was a truly caring person but also a very honest person and he let us know what the worst outcome could be along with what he felt he would be able to do for us. Over the course of 60 days he worked hard on our case and was able to bring it to resolution with many of the charges being dropped. We couldn't have been happier with the outcome and truly feel he is an amazing attorney and we would highly recommend Mr. Knudsen.

I am very pleased with Mr Knudsen's representation. After getting 2 moving violations, which I was not guilty for, he was able to prove my case and my charges were dismissed. The DA wanted me to accept lesser charges which would have cost me a lot more with court costs, fines and insurance premiums, than what my fee was for his representation. I explained my case to him and he fought to get the charges dropped, which I am very grateful for. Excellent service, I could not be more pleased.

My case dealt with an accident with a patrol car. I was charged with causing a patrol car to crash. I called Mr. Knudsen and he got results"all charges were dropped".I've known Mr. Knudsen for almost 10 years and I keep his card in my wallet at all times!

Without Karl Knudsen, I received a 90 day active sentence. Karl represented me on my DWI appeal and worked out a plea bargain that required me to do no jail time at all. I would highly recommend Karl. His fees are very reasonable and you can trust him to do what he says.

Mr. Knudsen was very helpful and has still continued to be very helpful with my case and answering any legal questions I have had. He isn't one of those lawyers who make you feel stupid or makes you feel like he isn't doing everything he can to help you. He does do everything to help you and he will shoot you straight and break everything down for you so you understand what your up against. In my opinion Mr. Knudsen is one of the better lawyers in the RTP and if I ever need another lawyer I know exactly who to call.

Karl Knudsen has been my lawyer for many years now, and he is great. He is well known in the area, and his team working behind him is the best. I refer all my friends to their office. And he has always been sure to personally thank me. He is caring and you can be sure he will work his hardest for you at a very fair price. Thanks Mr. Knudsen.

I have been living in sobriety for the past four years. My cousin who is in law enforcement (NCSHP) suggested Karl because of all the good things he had heard. I had never needed a lawyer in my lifetime (I'm 49 now) until the addiction to prescription drugs and alcohol cost me my career as a nurse, my drivers license and almost my life. Mr. Knudsen is a non-judgmental caring person that explained in detail what would be our and I say "our" because I didn't feel alone in all the proceedings that took place. My family will always be grateful for Mr. Knudsen.
