Steven Knott and Guy Glazier founded Knott & Glazier LLP to do one thing better than anybody else:  achieve superb business litigation results at a reasonable cost.  They are business trial counsel. They provide straightforward advice on the merits of a case at the outset.  They apply focused and persistent legal pressure to control the pace of litigation and to achieve early resolution whenever possible. When settlement is not in a client's best interest, they try the case.

Steven Knott and Guy Glazier left national law firms to apply their litigation and leadership expertise in pursuit of unique service to their clients.  They have tried over sixty cases to judgment.  In addition to successful defense judgments, they have recovered over $200 million for major national corporations in complex business litigation.  As experienced trial counsel, Steven Knott and Guy Glazier understand the tactical and strategic elements of business litigation from the opening moves to the endgame. One aspect of their unique and clear focus on the ultimate result for their clients is their preparation of jury instructions at the beginning of the case instead of the end.

"First, I want to know, and I want to advise my client, up front, what the finder of fact is going to be told about my case.  Second, too many times, attorneys try to draft crucial jury instructions in the hectic days immediately before trial.  I'm more prepared than that, and preparation is often the margin of victory in a close case." 

--Steven Knott

"One of the first questions I ask myself when a case comes in the door is:  how is a jury going to view this?  From that point on, almost everything I do contributes in some fashion to structuring my presentation to that jury."

--Guy Glazier

Knott & Glazier LLP is also unique because it cuts out the unnecessary overhead of a large firm. Their clients know that Knott & Glazier LLP provides top quality representation without the often bloated fee structure associated with large law firms. You will not find fifteenth century porcelain Ming vases in our offices, but you will find state of the art trial preparation software on our computers.  Our case staffing is also unique.  We discuss appropriate staffing with our clients at the beginning of the case.  When necessary, we use our strategic relationships with national and local law firms throughout the United States to address situations where "surge capacity" in attorney staffing is required.  At the same time, we are not bound to keep attorneys working during those parts of a case where full staffing is not required.  Knott & Glazier LLP is for those clients who do not want to be talked out of trying the case on the courthouse steps.  Knott & Glazier LLP is for those clients who want to be represented by real people who work hard and like to win.
