About Jerry R.
Jerry R. Knafo is the principal of Knafo Law Offices, LLC and a long-standing presence in Pennsylvania’s legal community. He runs a multi-office practice that serves clients from Allentown, Easton and Orefield. He is based in the Lehigh Valley and has combined courtroom work with law office management for decades.
He began his academic journey in business. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Villanova University in 1975. He then turned to law and received a J.D. from Temple University Beasley School of Law in 1979. Later he returned to study business again and holds a Master of Business Administration from Wilkes University.
After law school Knafo moved into private practice. Over time he took on leadership of his own firm and now serves as principal of Knafo Law Offices, LLC. That role places him at the center of administrative decisions as well as case strategy. He maintains ties across several office locations in the region and oversees the firm’s daily operations.
Knafo’s professional credentials include certification as a Certified Civil Trial Advocate from the National Board of Trial Advocacy. That credential signals an emphasis on courtroom work in civil matters and on trial procedure. He also has participated in professional associations; since 2001 he has served as president of Elite Lawyers of America, LLC, a role he continues to hold.
Colleagues describe him as a lawyer who balances trial experience with the business demands of running a regional practice. He has handled civil litigation matters and has taken cases to trial when necessary. His work requires both courtroom preparation and client counseling, and he splits his time between those duties.
Outside the courtroom he has managed a small network of offices and the staff that keeps them functioning. That administrative side of practice stretches from case intake to scheduling hearings and coordinating with local courts.
Knafo practices law in Pennsylvania and draws on his civil trial credential in representing clients. He continues to lead Knafo Law Offices, LLC, handling civil litigation and trial work while managing firm operations as principal.
