T. Martin Knopes

"This attorney ripped me off for 100$ consult. Wanted to tell me that I was wrong for saying my child shouldn’t be with her mother, although the mother was indeed charged with a child sex crime. This numb nuts told me that my interpretation of the law made me “dangerous”. Well Mr Knopes, if I’m so dangerous, tell me why I’ve beaten BAR certified attorneys in court as a Pro Se litigant? Needless to say this 1 hour consultation ended up being 10-15 minutes tops and he took the whole 100. I wouldn’t put my life in this man’s hands if he was the last person on Earth. I can’t wait till the BAR catches up with his unethical practices…. Don’t bother wasting your money, he’ll take it and do minimal work. I’ve seen many clients of his get reamed in the courtroom. Most of his incarcerated clients are stuck in jail for months on end because he merely doesn’t care."

"Marty Knopes is simply the best defense attorney in Ft. Walton. He was very professional in helping me and my my family. After having him recommended to us, I have to say I would absolutely recommend him and his team to anyone down on their luck. The T Martin Knopes team is wonderful!"

"I have know Marty for many years and unfortunately had to retain his services twice for DUI. The first time he arrived at the jail early in the morning for my first presentation and was able to get me released. He represented me and got a fair verdict considering the circumstances. The most recent DUI he got the call at night and was ready to represent me for the first presentation the next morning, but I was able to bond out. He again charged me a reasonable fee and was able to get my charge reduced to Reckless Driving. He is well know and respected in the court system and I would highly recommend him for any of your legal problems."

"The only good thing about this man's practice is his paralegal, Jessica. Martin Knopes is a worthless, alcoholic, money hungry waste of time. After seven months of payments, while incarcerated AND pregnant, he was not even able to get me a 3 day furlough to have my baby, let alone accomplish anything in regard to my case. Within 45 days of firing him and hiring someone else, my situation was resolved. Thanks, Marty, for taking my money and doing nothing for me!"

"I found myself with some completely unexpected legal issues thanks to lack of appropriate advice from the Okaloosa County Public Defender who was assigned to my case. I eventually retained Marty and am SO glad that I did. He is a straight shooter and let me know right off the bat that my case was no slam-dunk (due, in my opinion, to the lack of appropriate advice from the public defender). Getting an appointment was easy, no long wait. Jessica in his office is great and very helpful. With a very reasonable retainer, he was able to help me get the issues adjusted to a reasonable level. I have nothing but the highest praise for Marty and will be using him again in the future, should the need arise. I would highly recommend his services."
