Award recipients were nominated by their peers to receive this award and selected by a committee comprised of well-known local attorneys and community leaders. This year’s 40 Under 40 nominees have demonstrated excellence in the legal field and contributed significantly to the community. Knapp will be recognized at a gala event in November benefitting the Foundation.

Concentrating his practice in complex civil matters, Knapp has litigated cases from their inception through verdict in both state and federal courts. He has represented multiple clients, including health care providers, medical device manufacturers, food distributors, pharmaceutical and dietary supplement companies, as well as mortgage lenders and financial institutions in class action claims and multi-district litigation.
