I hereby state that I am on personal terms with [person]... /[person] is personally known to me
I interpret "trato y conocimiento" to mean that this person has direct knowledge of the other or is on personal terms with them.

As it's a letter of recommendation, you might want to tone down the formality slightly, removing the "I hereby state" part and leaving it as "I, [name], am on personal terms with..." or "I, [name], personally know..."

David Hollywood
: we finally got some context and good ideas Robert ... I would opt for "is personally known to me" in this context

Charles Davis
: Yes, both of these are good. I've written a few references in my time and "is personally known to me" is a classic standby. If you're going formal, maybe "hereby certify" better than "state". "Well acquainted with" is another slightly formal alternative.
