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.

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.

Interested only in Money, NOT Father's rights

I am a single Father and I hired Attorney Melaniece to represent me regarding child support and visitation. I paid a $2,500 retainer and she appeared for one hour in court and she was late to court in Gwinnett County (she blamed traffic but has been living here for years and should be aware of Atlant...a traffic) and she forgot her glasses which required me to read for her. She questioned how, "I was gonna get her money" in my initial consultation. She's very disrespectful. She was not aggressive and accomplished nothing in regards to a modification. Her advice to me was, "work harder to give her what she wants". I desired to go to court again and she demanded an additional $2,500, which caused me to withdraw.

Replied last December 08, 2017

Myself and the entire Boddie McKnight Law Firm, LLC take great pride in providing exceptional customer service and outstanding legal representation. I have never represented a single father in a child support and visitation case in Gwinnett County. Due to the degree of my astigmatism, it is physically impossible for me to operate a vehicle without glasses or contacts. This is sad and very unfortunate. This is the same woman that wrote the November 9, 2017 post. This former client repeatedly failed and refused to follow my advice. My team and I did everything humanly possible to help her to no avail. I finally withdrew from her case almost a year ago in 2016 after she created a false document using an actual court order from the divorce case, was charged with felony forgery in the first degree, arrested, and punished for the crime. It appears from the online dockets that both her criminal case in Fulton County and her divorce in Gwinnett County were recently finalized and now, a year later (11/09/17), she is trolling me online. I wish her the very best!”
