Testimonials
"I can’t commend Russell Knight and the firm more highly. He’s smart, strategic and tactical - much of divorce work is “noise” that doesn’t move the needle. He focuses on what’s important, and is extremely ethical in billing practices which you’ll come to realize is key so you have something left over the day after divorce. If you find firms with high minimum billing units eg 0.25 - run a mile, no matter what they tell (lie) to you about how they aggregate work. Russell’s firm is honest, sharp and aggressive where it needs to be." Rahul Handa
"Attorney Knight helped me through a very stressful no contact/no stalking (order of protection) case. He explained everything clearly, he was extremely responsive, and made sure I felt protected throughout the process. I’m grateful for his professionalism and support. I would recommend his services to all my loved ones in need." - Camille Lewis
"We have worked with Russell on several issues over the years, and he is reasonable, calm, and knowledgeable about family law. He has helped us find simple solutions when we needed them. Highly recommend!" - Megan O'Keefe
