Co-parenting

Andrea is extremely knowledgeable about GA law as well as reputations and track records of judges in the counties surrounding Atlanta. When I first met with her, I was terribly distraught and she systematically walked me through what I was facing, what I did and did not have control over, and what I ...could do to take care of myself throughout the process. She referred me to a therapist, referred me to a child psychologist, and suggested books for me to read to help me navigate the co-parenting-with-an-ex life. We hired her to handle our modification case and she achieved excellent results. My ex had a tough lawyer who had represented him in the divorce. This person was no match for Andrea and my child and I are in a much better position with the modification now in place. She held my hand throughout the process and provided advice that I have carried with me for years. If it were not for her listening to me, believing in me, and helping me, I would not be the stronger, happier woman I am today. She continues to help me navigate issues with my ex-husband from time to time. Talk to her, hire her, then do everything she tells you to do. You will not be sorry you did. She is worth every last penny.

Best attorney we have spoken to.

After a year of spending more then ten thousand dollars between attorney fees etc we found Mrs Knight through an advocacy group. My only complaint was that we wish we would have found her and her firm a year earlier, Had we hired her first I am certain our case would have been completed accordingly ...and not made us suffer this last year besides the waste in energy ,money and health . She was who we truly needed but sadly we found her a year after we hired our attorney . During the single most stressful moment of our life's and now broke from our ordeal we reached out to Various organizations and everyone referred us to Mrs Knight and her law firm. Disabled and feeling unheard by the courts we reached out, not on,y did she take the time to speak with us but she extended herself above what any had a very lengthy battle , her due diligence ,guidance and assistance we're impeccable . We were unable to resolve our issue in Cobb county but her kind predisposition, legal prowess and legal expertise helped us more in one hour then months and many hurdles later paying for our attorney ever did. Her work with advocacies , in the courts and for families is a breath of fresh air in an often cynical and apathetic environment she championed us and was invaluable to knowing what steps we should take moving forward . Our biggest blessing was being directed to contacting Mrs Knight and are sincerely so grateful for her kindness ,assistance and help. We are so greatful and hope to correspond in kind as I recover and try to resolve this case simultaneously.

*Family* Law

Andrea and her staff (Catherine) were incredibly helpful and supportive in dealing with our extremely sensitve and thorny problems. Her network of professionals- family therapists, etc.- helped guide us. Andrea knew the law, the issues, the attorneys, the judges, and the emotions. Saved my sanity...!

FEELING THANKFUL

I retained Andrea to represent me for Child Support Modification. I found her to be objective, pragmatic and a realistic. She informed me of all possible outcomes, level set my expectations, went to bat for me and partnered with the mediator and opposing counsel for a fair outcome. We mediated for... 12 hours (all in one day) and Andrea never wavered. Catherine is just phenomenal!!! I have a busy work and travel schedule. She kept me up to date on deliverables, made it easy to access and provide access to documents, as well as she communicated clearly what was needed and by when. I feel we were the dream team and I am THANKFUL I chose Andrea to represent me. JOB WELL DONE!!!!

She didn`t meet my expectations

I used her services a few years ago. She didn`t present my case well in court and I lost as a result of this. She charged me a lot of money in the end, and refused to take anything off of the bill.

Replied last November 6, 2014

I'm sorry that you had a bad experience in court. I try as much as possible to keep my clients out of hearings because they are expensive, unpredictable and unpleasant. I just checked our conflicts list. Our firm has not had a client of the first name Anthony. I wonder if you have confused me with one of several attorneys with the last name Knight who practice family law in metro Atlanta.
