Byron Knight Cares

Mr. Knight helped me in a case that could have cost me my job. He stood by me and helped me both emotionally and legally. With great experience as a Suffolk DA he is extremely reliable and knowledgeable. He has passion for his clients that does not seem to ever waver. He takes great strides to fulf...ill his clients needs. I feel that words for what he has done for me could not do him justice. I greatly recommend him for any needs that you may have. He is an amazing attorney.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
