Testimonials

“Choosing McKnight Law was the one of the best decisions I’ve made.  I have been extremely pleased in my experience with the McKnight Law team from the initial consultation to the successful resolution of an ICBC MVA case.  The firm knows their craft and has handled more than one of my MVA cases throughout the years with the utmost professionalism.  There is always a personal and sensitive side to every case.  The team provided clear communication and expert advice handling each file with great care, and I felt this on a personal level and not just a case.  Don McKnight is a brilliant expert in his field.  The McKnight Law team are extremely knowledgeable, confident, insightful, and have consistently demonstrated great attention to detail.  Don and his team are the best at preparing one for litigation.  Going to trial, I felt supported and educated throughout the process of the legal system and it took away a lot of the anxiety and unknown out of the process.  Great experience overall and I cannot thank the firm enough for the very successful outcome of my case.  I highly recommend McKnight Law to anyone in need of legal assistance in their areas of expertise.  Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

“I first met Don McKnight for a personal injury claim where he demonstrated exceptional ability to resolve complex legal matters and set important precedents. His thorough approach and commitment to justice immediately set him apart.Nearly two decades later, facing a wrongful dismissal lawsuit with my business, I was working with a lawyer whose passive approach and lack of thoroughness was concerning. He showed little interest in precedent or pursuing crucial evidence. Turning to Don transformed our case. His masterful handling of pre-trial discovery proved why he’s one of the most formidable attorneys in his field.Don McKnight combines legal expertise with genuine compassion. His motivation comes from a deep desire to right wrongs, not just bill hours. Whether handling personal injury claims or business litigation, he brings unwavering dedication and strategic thinking to every case. For anyone seeking a true advocate who will fight for justice, Don McKnight is an exceptional choice.”

“Don has been both my Personal and Company’s Lawyer for over 3 decades.  Over this time he has successfully represented us on multiple Wrongful Dismissal cases.  Don’s ability to succeed comes from his desire to win and his unquenchable thirst to do the necessary background work to protect his clients.  Based on the representation I have seen from his opposing counsel, I have never witnessed this level of commitment, as Don, like a Chess Master, always appears to be a number of steps ahead and makes it look effortless.  You definitely want Don on your side!”

Mr. L. F.

“In life, we sometimes require legal assistance. I’ve used the services of Don McKnight twice.  Once for an ICBC matter, and the second time was an Estate matter. Both times, Don was  courteous, knowledgeable, professional and very efficient. He explained the process in layman’s terms as my questions arose.  His expertise allowed me to have faith that I would experience  favourable outcomes.  Which I did. If you need someone to navigate the often overwhelming legalities of litigation, McKnight Law delivered. I highly recommend his services and would not hesitate to hire him again, if the need arises.”

“My husband and I were referred to Don McKnight to assist us in evicting an unwanted person from the basement suite in our family home, who was alleging that she had an ownership interest in our home.  Don was so caring and compassionate when we had no-one to turn to.  He listened and gave advice when needed and kept us from becoming “broke, bankrupt, and being kicked to the curb” to use the words of the unwanted occupant in our home.  He stood by us and helped us to navigate through the mediation process and the legalities of the Supreme Court System.  His countless hours and dedication to our family’s situation helped us to win our case in court and made it possible to move on with our lives.  We will be forever grateful to Don.”

“My lucky day finding Don McKnight.  After thirty years in the same home, we were faced with what the municipality labeled a property dispute with a neighbour.  Fortunately, Don agreed to represent us and what a great experience this turned out to be.  I can best describe Don as a very disciplined and skilled Professional.  In addition, he made me feel like part of his ‘team’ and this turned out to be another amazing experience.  Yes, the outcome was beyond expectation.  Thank you, Don McKnight, for making it happen.”

Mrs. M. C.

“We could not imagine where we would have ended up, had we not met Don McKnight!  We found ourselves lost in a civil conflict with our neighbors and their contractor after they caused significant damage to our property by cutting down a number of our mature trees and installing a temporary retaining wall, just so they could enjoy a better ocean view at our expense.  After months of being ignored and belittled by their insurance lawyers we were forced to seek legal representation and we were fortunate to meet Don McKnight who championed our cause.  Our only regret is that we did not meet Don sooner.  Needless to say, our neighbors, their contractor and their insurance lawyers regretted us meeting Don!  We will forever be grateful for Don’s professionalism and expertise, and we were beyond pleased with the outcome that Don was able to deliver.”

Ms. I. S.

“Don McKnight took on our cause as if it was his own.  Don is grace under pressure, experienced, calculating and tough as steel.  We always felt protected and taken seriously throughout the entire civil process.  We benefitted greatly from Don’s professionalism, knowledge, insight and above all, experience.  If you want to watch your opponent across the table to squirm like a toddler in a highchair, then Don is the lawyer you want.  Don’s depth of experience demystified the civil court process and his compassion made us feel safe and heard.  He far surpassed our very high expectations.  When diplomacy fails, you will want Don McKnight in your corner.”

“We would recommend Don McKnight wholeheartedly to anyone needing legal representation.  He is knowledgeable, professional, and works hard to get the best outcome for his clients – no matter how long it takes.  We are very grateful to Don and his team for everything they have done for us.”

Mr. and Mrs. S.

“Don is an exceptional lawyer that truly cares about his clients.  My wife and I are very pleased with his transparency and ability to take care of everything.  His staff are professional and work for you.  Thank you for everything Don.”

Mr. L. A.

“I had a referral to Don McKnight.  I was very pleased with the work he did for me.  It was not easy.  He is very competent and persistent.  I was impressed with his compassion and his ethical stance.  My case took 6 years.  He never gave up and we eventually settled with a good result.  Don knows his business and his opponents very well.”

Ms. E. L.

“Don came highly recommended to me 19 years ago by a co-worker who had recently retained his services. At the time, I had been involved in 3 motor vehicle accidents, my husband had been diagnosed with a terminal illness, and we had two very young children. Our plate was full. What we needed was someone to manage the incessant hounding by ICBC and the intimidation tactics they use to pressure you into an early settlement. Unbeknownst to me at the time, Don was the perfect candidate for the job. Don is a committed, thorough, invested, and hard working lawyer that will leave no stone unturned in order to receive justice for his clients. Unfortunately my case did go to court however, it didn’t take long for me to realize that we were in excellent hands. Undaunted by these bullies, Don remained relentless, calm, and undeterred during the entire process. While we obtained a very successful outcome and we were more than pleased with our settlement, perhaps the biggest victory of all was having had someone so dedicated to our cause during an incredibly stressful time. This was invaluable and will never be forgotten. I would highly recommend Don and his team to anyone seeking a positive legal experience from a group of seasoned professionals.”

Ms. A.H.

“We have had the fortunate and unfortunate experience of having known Don and wife Stacey over the last 10 years.  Unfortunate, in that our meeting came to pass as a result of a Motor Vehicle Accident and fortunate, in that he represented us in our ICBC claim.  He has been relentless in looking after our interests and taking on the ICBC juggernaught.  Over this time we have gotten to know him on a more social level and have found his quickness and keenness of mind, wicked sense of humour, and, let alone his immense experience being a formidable package in dealing with the policies and bureaucracy.  He and his team epitomize the old saying “He refuses to have a battle of wits with an unarmed Person (or organization)”.”

“I could not ask for a better lawyer than Don.  Dealing with insurance companies can feel scary, abusive and exhausting but I felt safe, protected and cared for by Don and his staff at McKnight Law.  Don has been my lawyer for decades and he has always been there for me.  Don has gone above and beyond the requirements of a lawyer which touched my heart.  If you want a lawyer who is personable with you but a pitbull with your opponent, then I highly recommend Don at McKnight Law.  I am grateful he was referred to me and I wish the same for you.”

Ms. D. D.

“Ever see the commercial, “I love my lawyer”?  Well, that is Don personified.  I was treated without any consideration from ICBC after a vehicle accident, as if I was a pain in the adjustors side.  The adjustor offered a low ball settlement figure, and tried to force me to accept it.  With only 2 days before decision time, I was referred to Don McKnight.  He called me back in the evening, had a long chat about my options, and advised how he would proceed if he took on my case.  Needless to say, it was one of my best decisions to retain Don.  5 years later, after ICBC continued to put up delays, we went to court, and Don got a 15 times better settlement than what the adjustor tried to force me to accept.  And the icing on the cake:  my son also retained Don for the same accident and received a settlement without going to court, that was 10 times over the adjustors initial offer.  Don was professional, kept us informed throughout the process, treated us with respect and compassion, and hit a home run with the settlement.  Well actually 2 home runs when you add in my son’s case as well.  Would I refer Don to anyone else?  The answer is a resounding YES, added with, going with anyone else could be at your expense.”

Mr. M. H.

“My wife [C] and I had McKnight Law represent us when she was rearended in 2 different motor vehicle accidents.  [C] was not at fault in either of the 2 incidents.  Don McKnight was recommended to us by a close friend who had used Don in the past with successful results.  When we first sat down in Don’s office we were both extremely nervous.  Don was straight forward explaining to us how he thought things would unfold in the future and that this was gonna be a long fought war.  This was the beginning of a 6 ½ year relationship.  Don was nothing short of amazing throughout the lengthy process.  As time passed [C]’s condition from the 2 accidents worsened.  It became too painful for her to continue working.  By the beginning of year 6 the pain she was suffering led to a mental breakdown.  [C] was hospitalized for 17 days.  Don was the first person to show up at the hospital with flowers.  His staff sent well wishing emails.  They were honestly caring people, not just a law firm.  Don recommended that [C] retire.  She did so reluctantly because she liked her job as a hairdresser but the pain was just too much.  She was broken.  Finally we received a call from Don’s office to come in for a meeting.  When [C] and I sat down again we were nervous but Don was great at making you feel at ease.  He just has that way about him!!  Don slid a piece of paper in front of [C] with ICBC’s offer of payment and her life changed immediately.  She had enough money to be happily retired!!  Don had done it!!  He had won the 6 ½ year long hard fought war!!  We both have nothing but good things to say about McKnight Law and the staff.  Professional, caring, honest, friendly, intelligent people.  What more could you want from a law firm!  Thank you Don and Stacey and all your wonderful staff for helping [C] get what she deserved.  You’re the best!!”

“I have known Don for almost 25 years.  I have been Don’s client several times during these 25 years.  He represented me during some very challenging times in my life.  Once when a doctor messed up the surgery he performed, resulting in facial paralysis and my face looks way worse than before the surgery.  One year later myself and my young son was in a car crash, I ended up with a brain injury and my son was injured (thank goodness he recovered).  Don is an amazing lawyer, more importantly I was not just a client to Don, he took my cases very personally and only wanted the best for me and my family.  If I knew how to golf, I would go for a round of golf with Don.  I have always been a very good judge of character and would recommend the legal services of Don McKnight Law to anyone.  Thank you Don for all your help and support during the challenging times in life.  It is an honor and privilege to know you.”

Mr. D. N.

“When I had a bad accident, I was almost immediately put in contact with Don and McKnight Law.  Those close to me were adamant that Don was the “go-to guy” who wasn’t afraid of ICBC and had a strong, reputable reputation for representing clients and getting results, referring to him as a “bulldog”.  Within a day or two, I met with Don and instantly knew that he was going to be my “go-to” guy.  Don was clear, articulate, and direct about what the plan of action would be, reassuring me that he would be able to seek a fair settlement in compensation.  His confidence, bravado, and support has helped turn an otherwise nightmare into the most positive experience that one could imagine.  His fast, reliable communication, supportive direction through the process, and strong desire to help victims of motor vehicle accidents is clear and makes him a no brainer-choice to defend your best interests and get what you deserve.”

Mr. S. T. 

“In 2014 I was a passenger in a major car accident as a result of someone’s negligent driving.  I was 16 and still in high school, and went from being an honour student to barely passing my senior year.  I couldn’t sit, stand or perform any task without pain or difficulty, I was now petrified of being in a car.  I couldn’t focus anymore, I’d get spells of confusion and anxiety.  I knew I couldn’t continue my life as normal and needed experienced guidance.  I suffered multiple life altering injuries that still affect me daily and will for the rest of my life.  I heard about Don’s practice and I would not be where I am today without him and his team.  He worked so closely with myself and my family, always going the extra mile to make me feel reassured, and supported.  His access to a broad spectrum of specialists gave me levels of care I could not have accessed anywhere else.  I received insight on my conditions that would have been overlooked elsewhere.  I was always taken care of to the highest degrees.  Any questions I had were always answered, I was always made aware of every step and never felt lost or confused.  Everyone always made everything seamless and easy for me to manage.  The entire team put hundreds of hours in on my case over the span of many years, and fought for what I deserved for a youth lost.  Though this accident was the most traumatic thing to every happen to me – I look back on my time with McKnight Law very fondly.  They took this horrible thing in my life and truly helped me though every step of it with grace, kindness and compassion.”

Ms. B. F.

“I was referred to Don McKnight’s office by a colleague of mine after my accident.  I have had several other lawyers referred or approached me to take my case.  I chose Don because after one meeting, I could see that Don is a warrior.  The saying that you want the meanest lawyer on your side?  That is Don.  You want him on your side.  He shows his compassion for motor accident victims, not by being sympathetic, but by fighting as hard as he can to get you the compensation you deserve. He will go to great lengths to fight the big insurance companies to protect the “little guys”.  If you want to bring the meanest warrior to your battle, Don and his team is your bet.”

Lt. (Navy) J. L.

“Due to a personal injury we contacted McKnight Law on behalf of my elderly mother.  Don met with us to explain the litigation process.  His knowledge, professionalism, experience and his patience in dealing with a very elderly client was outstanding.  Don responded quickly to any requests or questions we had, making the process less stressful.  We were very happy with the outcome of our legal matter and would highly recommend his services.”
