With 40 years of litigation and trial experience, I am licensed to practice law in Arizona, Nevada, and California. My academic background is strong, and my approach to legal battles is tough and aggressive.
At Knochel Law Offices, where I serve as the lead attorney, our primary goal is to deliver effective and thorough legal representation. We serve families, businesses, and individuals throughout the Tri-State area of Arizona, Nevada, and California. I have been practicing law since 1982 and have dedicated my services to Mohave County since 1987.
My legal career began with the honor of serving as a law clerk to Chief Justice Howard C. Ryan. I am recognized as one of the more seasoned and knowledgeable attorneys in the Colorado River Area. I also hold the distinction of being one of the few attorneys in the area with licenses to practice in Nevada, Arizona, and California.
I earned my degree summa cum laude from Illinois Wesleyan University in 1978. During my time at Northwestern University's School of Law, from which I graduated with honors, I was the Topics Editor for the "Northwestern Journal of Criminal Law & Criminology." Since 1987, I have been practicing law in Mohave County, accumulating a wealth of experience in trials and litigations.
