Professional Attorney

I hired Andrea to help me in a case that I felt was hopeless. She got right to work digging through a very difficult divorce agreement and found a way for me to get out of having to pay a mortgage bill for a house that I did not live in on top of Child Support. She was very efficient with her time and was very responsive when I had questions. I am now able to have my own house for my kids to come stay with me in and we are all much happier. She was so efficient with her time that at the end of the case I got a refund from my deposit. I highly recommend Andrea and would use her again.

Best in the business

Posted by

I have to say Andrea was amazing. She was strongly recommended by a few different people so I called her and got a consultation. Right off the rip I felt confident that she was the best person for the job! Now 19 months later, I can tell you she was and is the best. My divorce should have been a black and white, easy divorce. My ex saw it other ways and wanted to bring me to the cleaners. Not only did Andrea stop that, she actually won me all the belongings from the house, money that I had paid for ex’s bills, and at the end of the divorce I walked away with more then my ex! On top of her performance, she always answered any and every question and made me feel at ease. Best of all, she’s VERY affordable and understanding. My advice, hire her you won’t regret it!

Andrea did an excellent job on my criminal case. After being continued many times by the Commonwealth we were able to finally go to trial and come out with a not guilty verdict! She shows a very strong presence in the courtroom and has a real go get them attitude. She always made herself available weather through phone calls text or email. I would strongly recommend Andrea to anybody in need of a divorce or Criminal attorney and would definitely use her again if needed.

I recently had to go after a client for lack of payment and major breach of a business contract I had in place. Andrea was swift in adressing my issues with my previous clients' counsel. She was able to settle out court in less than 60 days from initial contact. Andrea is very professional, and a pleasure to work with. Her knowledge of business law has made her a Huge asset to my business. I have now worked with her on multiple business issues including an international insurance claim. She has been successful on every occasion that I have worked with her.

Amazing, Brilliant, Persistant

Posted by

After 16 years in Divorce, Probate Court Hell, Andrea was highly recommended by a family friend who is an attorney. Andrea was a godsend. From the initial consultation to the final winning conclusion, Andrea fought for me like no other attorney I had hired. At times I would chuckle because she acted like she was the one going through this divorce. Andrea is always thinking, was always a step ahead and always knew what the other attorney would do next. After 16 years in Probate Court, I am now free. That is totally because of Andrea.

Relentless and ferocious

Posted by

Andrea McKnight ferociously fought for me! She was born for this no doubt.. My ex was a very hard case who wanted things to get ugly.. She was able to protect so much of what ive worked my whole life for.. she won me the parenting time my ex had constantly been using against me. Andrea was always honest, and always responded to my issues.. She came highly recommended, and its easy to see why she has won so many awards! Andrea thrives in court! She is a fighter, she is ambitious, relentless and brilliant. i was fortunate to have her on my side and forever grateful to her
