My God sent!

Hiring the first attorney was the worst decision i ever made as he was sleeping and snoring in the court but firing him and hiring Ms McKnight was the best decisions i ever made! I was oppressed by the wealthy oppressors but Ms McKnight stood up for me and made me know that law is not about wealth, ...My concern was all about my kids whom the oppressors doesn’t ever want me to see ever again but she stood up for fairness and fought for me in the court,even when she advised me not to bring some stuffs up in the court i did which could have affected the outcome of my case but she always have that magic like David Copperfield to make things right, I see why someone titled her Magical McKnight! As a father i have equal rights on my kids just like their mom,if you are a father and thinks you don’t have any chances please try this lady and if you are a mother you have a better chance hiring this magically miraculous lady. Thank you so much Ms McKnight,words are never enough to express my gratitude.

No nonsense attorney

There is not enough words to express the gratitude that me and my family have for Ms McKnight and her team. For three years we stood strong, we battled , and EVERY court case we won! More importantly we where able to give my son the help that he needed thanks to her services. We never lost a cour...t case and we won the most important one that gave me primary custody of my son, for that I am forever in debted to you. If you are looking for a team that will be just as invested in the end result, look no further. She is a no nonsense legal warrior that stays prepared for every battle at hand.

Child custody

My attorney helped me with custody of my 2 sons along with child support, back child, and contempt’s filed for the closing of marital property. My divorce was final is 2015 I never thought i would have to hire another attorney. Attorney McKnight proved to the court that the custody of my minor chil...dren not be changed she went out of her way for me she made sure justice was given.. I live out of state but she handled all of my needs. The entire staff was courteous, understanding and very professional. I’m not promoting Divorce but if you are in need of an attorney for Divorce, Child Custody, Separation I want to encourage you to reach out to Attorney Melaniece Bardley McKnight you won’t be disappointed.

Investment of a lifetime! Best In The Game!

I was lucky to have found the right legal representation for my child custody case. I came in as a single father who had a child out of wedlock and was in need of a very experienced counsel to guide me through the very complexed system of family law. The goal is for both parties to come to an ami...cable agreement to avoid the long run and expensive fees that comes with a full trial. Unfortunately, my case went the full gamut. And my attorney's Brittany & Melaniece stood with me every step of the way promoting gender unbiasedness and enforcing my right to a fair trial. They articulated the process very well at every step and demonstrated professionalism as a testament to their successful experiences and respected report. Any level of court can be stressful, but having the powerful tools & proper preparation of an experienced firm will give you a confidence much needed, and a peace of mind that is invaluable. I salute the Bardley McKnight firm for being a lifeline towards success in my life-changing arrangement of co-parenting.

Highly recommended professional attorney

Attorney Melaniece McKnight and her team are awesome. They provided outstanding service to me at a time when my options appeared limited. They got to work right away to provide me with satisfactory results to what appeared to be an unfortunate dilemma. Not only was she and her team able to defend me ...against unjust accusations and obtain a successful end to my case, but her calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional support to myself and those I care about most. She has excellent knowledge of family law and child support and custody issues, which was successfully put on display. She is very professional and detailed and made my legal matters a walk in the park. The team who works with her are also always well-informed, intelligent, helpful, and kind. My children and I are grateful for her service and I hereby recommend her without hesitation.
