Mr. Knipe is an excellent lawyer. He helped me out tremendously when I was wrongly given a DUI, and I didn’t even have to appear in court. I highly recommend Mr. Knipe for anyone going through something similar.

Jim has been fantastic, so professional & caring. My son was in a very bad situation & I was thousands of miles away. He got my son out of jail & he was allowed to come home.
