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.

"I didn't know what to do. I Got a DUI on Saturday night and had to be in court the following Monday morning in Oak Harbor. On Sunday night I found Knauss Law Firm and started a chat. Matt called me right away and met me at the courthouse the next morning. My case wasn't an easy one, I followed Matts directions and everything turned out okay. I live in Seattle and the case was in Oak Harbor so it was time consuming for him and he was there.
Greatly appreciated Thank you Matt"
