Client Testimonials

I had been trying to work with the insurance company on my own for a while before I sought representation. To say the least I was frazzled, frustrated and tired of their insulting attempts to settle. When Jason took on my case, his knowledge and caring demeanor put me at ease. When he sensed my frustration he would take the time to explain the situation and my options, all while making me laugh. He made sure that I understood all final decisions were mine; he was just there to help guide me in the right direction. When I was feeling like there wasn’t anyone else that would help me, having a lawyer who truly cared about what was best for me and my case made all the difference in the world. Jason got my case settled out of court for almost ten times what the insurance company had originally offered me! I can’t thank him enough, he wasn’t just my lawyer he was my legal superhero!

Jason Knutson’s help during what is clearly the worst time in our lives was immeasurable. Jason and Jenny was positive from start to finish during our whole ordeal. I always felt as if they had our son’s best interest at heart and that we truly were being represented in the case. I never had a doubt or ill feeling like we didn’t know what was going on and if I had a question they answered promptly. I would most genuinely say that if you need someone whom you can trust as an attorney to help you through a tough time – Jason Knutson’s your attorney!

I would highly recommend Jason Knutson for a personal injury attorney. Jason is intelligent, organized, trustworthy and compassionate. He believes in what he does and it shows.
He worked diligently for over 4 years on our son’s case. He kept us informed and gave us good advice throughout the case, but never pressured us. He always allowed us to make the final decision.
During our trial, I was impressed with how Jason handled himself in court. He was very professional and “quick-witted” under some pretty stressful situations. He believed in us and fought diligently for our family, especially my son. We were very pleased with the final results.
Jason will always have a very special spot with our family. If a personal injury attorney is needed, I can’t think of anyone else I would want defending me or my family.

I would like to share the exceptional legal services that we received from Habush Habush & Rottier, and specifically their attorney Jason Knutson. Our daughter was seriously injured in a pedestrian and auto accident while attending college. A referral came from a friend who lived and was connected in the local area. The referral was from an attorney who was on the other side and represented insurance companies. They were asked who they respected from the personal injury attorney field and recommended Jason Knutson at Habush Habush & Rottier. Jason met my family in the hospital the day we had contacted him. I knew immediately that we were very fortunate for this referral. Neither my wife or I had been involved in any legal case prior to this accident. Jason came across as truly concerned and passionate about helping us through our case. He was very knowledgeable and also expressed his confidence in the different paths that our case could go. Our case had a few obstacles that changed that path, but Jason kept us informed along the way and negotiated the best possible settlement in a rather short amount of time. He also made himself available to explain some of the more complicated legal obstacles or settlement options throughout the process. We would highly recommend Jason for his legal expertise and his passion as an attorney.
