My name is Matt Knauss, and I am a Kirkland criminal and DUI defense lawyer who has successfully handled 1,000s of criminal cases. I formerly worked as the lead city prosecutor for Kirkland, but chalking up wins for law enforcement wasn't satisfying.
I have since dedicated my entire legal practice to defending individual people, passionately advocating for their rights, liberties, and futures. Winner of the Avvo Clients' Choice Award for Top DUI Attorney, and with a 10.0 Superb Avvo Rating from peers, I am recognized by the legal community and by clients for dedicated, hard-hitting defense that gets results.

Testimonials
What Our Clients Say
"Matthew Knauss is a very knowledgeable attorney. I interviewed several attorneys before going to Matt and they all seemed pretty much the same. When I met with Matt he impressed me immediately. He helped me through two different cases and I ended up with more than a favorable outcome in each instance. I noticed that other individuals in similar circumstances as mine didn't get the same results with their attorneys. Matt is worth every dollar."
"I have known Matt both personally and professionally for over 15 years. When I came into a situation needing legal services, he was the first person I thought of and went to.
My requirements demanded an attorney with integrity, honesty, morals, and trustworthiness, all of which Matt possesses. His experience in criminal law, both as a prosecutor and defense attorney, sets him apart from others. All of the above traits and experience made selecting Matt a very easy decision.
Throughout the process, Matt was easy to communicate with, explained things realistically, and always kept me up to date. He would always respond to my questions in a timely manner. Because Matt understands how “the system” works, his advise and counsel was accurate and effective. He worked very diligently and competently and easily earned my trust.
Matt is someone I have a high degree of respect for. I definitely would recommend him to anyone that needs assistance in criminal law, legal representation, and navigating the court system."
"I had a great experience working with Matt. He was extremely helpful and reassuring during the entire process and his advice and knowledge were invaluable to me during that time. He represented me on two cases and I would confidently recommend him to anyone needing their own representation as well. Amazing lawyer."
"Mr.Knauss was very professional and was able to help me with my legal matter quickly and efficiently. He also gave me a deal too on the price, so he is a very honest man and will not overcharge you like some other lawyers may do. I would definitely recommend the services of this law firm, so come here if you want great legal advice and service!"
