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.

Excellent Services

Attorney Melaniece B. McKnight was a blessing and a resource to our family. My family experienced an unfortunate situation that affected my sister and niece in December of 2017. Attorney McKnight agreed to meet with us and under very little notice, and she willingly took our case. The holidays were v...astly approaching and there was very little time to prepare. She and her staff were extremely professional, knowledgeable, and efficient when handling my sister’s case regarding her divorce and custody battle. The staff members were always courteous and attentive, making us feel that my sister’s case was the only one being handled by the firm, when she was likely one of many. Attorney McKnight is well-versed in family law and she wanted the absolute fairest and best outcome for my sister and her daughter. Her commitment to our case demonstrated integrity as well as passion. Phone calls and emails were answered in a timely manner. Attorney McKnight was also available when we needed to talk via phone to clarify any information that was presented. Most importantly, she is genuine, supportive, and dedicated. My sister gained primary custody of her daughter with her guidance, counsel, and expertise. Without reservation, I would highly recommend Attorney Melaniece B. McKnight to handle your family needs.

An Attorney You Want on Your Side

Attorney McKnight was extremely knowledgeable in handling my divorce case in 2015. She was not only an advocate for what was right, she was an advocate for my rights as an actively engaged and responsible father. She is the attorney you want on your side......you don't want to face her!!

Professional , knowledgeable , and compassionate

I can’t not express enough my gratitude towards Attorney Mcknight for her representation on my case. She was confident and her knowledge of Georgia state statute as it related to my specific case and reassured me through the process of my position as both a petitioner and respondent on two separate... cases . She was effective in her delivery of the facts during the legal proceedings and walked out with a win on my case. She reassured me both before and after that I was in good hands . She was also very compassionate towards me while preparing for presentation assuring and only presenting facts in which I was comfortable with sharing in open court . She was very professional with the opposing counsel and it’s all about protecting her clients rights . She is the “what’s right “ attorney and I would recommend her to anyone wanting fair and confident legal representation .
