Knowledgeable, compassionate, and fair attorney

Amanda is an amazing attorney who is both compassionate and knowledgeable. She guided me through every part of my separation and answered all my questions promptly. I really felt like she was an integral part of my support system. Her legal advice was spot on and she will make sure your interests are... fairly represented. I highly recommend her and the Ellis Family Law team.

Divorce Absolutely

Amanda Knight proved to be all I could hope for and more in obtaining an absolute divorce. With a selfless background in pro bono and legal aid services, she calmly and compassionately applied her expertise with sensitivity to all parties, keeping me informed every step of the way. She has earned ...my gratitude and unqualified endorsement, clearly deserving of her multi-year Rising Stars rating by SuperLawyers.com.

Highly Recommend

Amanda Knight at Ellis Family Law handled my case with attention to detail, thoroughness, and good communication. I was given top notch legal advice and representation on how to navigate through a difficult divorce and custody battle. I recommend Ms. Knight to anyone seeking fair and legal representa...tion from basic divorce settlements, mediation, to complicated litigation.

Excellent Divorce Attorney

If you are looking for a divorce attorney, I highly recommend Amanda Knight. She is knowledgeable, experienced and really efficient with her time. She made herself available to me whenever I had questions or wanted to discuss details about the divorce. She understands that divorce is challenging for ...those going through it and treated me with kindness and respect. There were also a couple of uncommon circumstances in my case, including possession of a dog, that she was able to easily handle. Again, I highly recommend her.

Thank you!

Amanda supported me through one of the most difficult and frightening challenges in my life, and one that could have been financially devastating. I did not think I could get the marital separation agreement that I desired, but Amanda helped us work together to achieve an equitable resolution withou...t anger or bitterness. I came through this with my sanity and finances intact and with a calmness that I would not have thought possible. Thank you. I can move forward with confidence.
