Knapp & Roberts in the News

The Law Offices of Knapp & Roberts has been in the news a lot lately. The publicity has stemmed from what has become known in Phoenix as the "High School Janitor Sexual Assault Case." Craig Knapp represents the victim in the civil case.

If you recall, an illegal mexican immigrant with a criminal record sexually assaulted a student while working as a janitor for Scottsdale Saguaro high school. Last month, the janitor, Roberto Lemus-Retana, was sentenced to 80 years in prison after his conviction in May.

What angers most people is how an illegal immigrant with a criminal record could be allowed to work in our schools in the first place. Knapp & Roberts has filed suit against the School District and the company that employed Lemus-Retana, San Francisco based ABM Janitorial Services.

Knapp & Roberts is an Arizona personal injury & wrongful death law firm with offices in both Phoenix and Scottsdale. The firm concentrates their practice in 4 areas; personal injury & wrongful death, medical malpractice, nursing home neglect, and catastophic car accidents. A gifted trial attorney, Craig Knapp is not a stranger to the courtroom, having won several major jury verdicts, including a $45 million verdict in a nursing home negligence case.

Here is a recent news article regarding the case;

The Future: Personalized Search

So you are checking your website visitor report and you see someone found your site by typing in a non-geographic search like "Family Law Lawyer" in Google. In the past, this probrably would have been a unqualified search since the chance of the searcher originating from Arizona would have been remote. Not so today. Increasingly, Google is trying to deliver personalized search results based on search history and the location of the searcher. Therefore, my search results will likely vary from someone in Minnesota performing the exact same search.

Eventually the goal of online advertising will be to deliver personalized messages for each potential searcher/customer. David W. Kenny, the chairman and chief executive of Digitas, goes even further; "The plan is to build a global digital ad network that uses offshore labor to create thousands of versions of ads. Then, using data about consumers and computer algorithms, the network will decide which advertising message to show at which moment to every person who turns on a computer, cellphone or - eventually - a television."
