"I would not recommend using this law firm. They don't seem to care about each case or have to many to help. They will charge you for every email and call took them 3 months to send a simply demand letter out even though we were told it was sent weeks before it actually was. Stay clear of them unless you want to loss more money."

"Do not use this firm unless you want to spend three to four thousand dollars a month being charged for absolutely nothing . They will charge you 50 ,60 ,75 dollars for every email you send and even when nothing is going on in your case you will get a bill for several thousand dollars no matter what . I do not recommend this firm . They will pencil whip bills to make sure everyone in their firm makes a paycheck off of you . And they will never get anything done . You are not sorry about anything . I talked to you after this review and you did nothing about it . So save your fake responses for the audience they do not mean anything . If you put another fake response on here I will post the bill to show everyone how you charge them and the emails where you did nothing about it . Stay away from this firm !!!!!!!"

"I see most of the negative reviews talk about how they just want your money and I can assure anyone that those reviews are absolutely correct. I Called them about a case regarding my dead father's estate. I explained that I have a son undergoing chemotherapy and couldn't afford much money. I spoke to and met with Mr. Knellinger himself with my son present. He said and I quote "I don't want to take a dime from you if I can't do nothing for you". After meeting him in his office I knew that there was no chance he would get me anything back from my father's estate. So I emailed saying I wanted my money back and to close my case. I received the check and a itemized bill for every phone call including the initial call before I was technically a client. The bill also included the meeting, reviewing paperwork that I gave them so they wouldn't have to get it themselves, and any other conversations by any means we had. How can you charge someone for an initial phone call before you even know they will be a client! If I would have never called back I would have never been charged for anything. The bad reviews are real and this is definitely not the Law office you want representing you."
