SHE’LL MAKE YOU STRONG EVEN WHEN YOU DONT WANT TO BE!!!

She is the ABSOLUTE BEST... I had an attorney before her and it seemed as if he was working with the opposing side. My husband abused me and because I had him arrested he was trying to put me and my 3 small children in the street with NOTHING... I was so weak and scared and didn’t know what to do.... I WAS IN A STATE WHERE I DIDNT KNOW ANYONE!!! My very first call to her was amazing!!! She gave me strength and she told me that she cannot fight alone that I need to be strong so that I can fight with her. She prepared me for the court date. By telling me the PROPER way to respond... SHE IS A VERYYYY HARD WORKING WOMEN!!! I gave her 75% of the money and she NEVER asked for the remaining balance. I HAD NOTHING IN MY NAME AND EVEN SIGNED A PRENUP. SHE GOT ME ***EVERYTHING*** I WAS TRULY BLESSED WITH HER... SHE IS A BEAST... AND VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE she outshined the other attorney 110%... SHE HELPED ME BECOME STRONG AND I AM SO THANKFUL TO HAVE MET HER... SHE EVEN HELPED ME WITH MY CHILDREN... ***SHE’S A FIGHTER... AND SHE WILL ALWAYS I REPEAT ALWAYS WILL FIGHT FOR YOU*** If she wasn’t the way that she is she would lose her cases... I WOULD RATHER HAVE A FIGHTER THAN A LOSER OR A QUITER... ***The JUDGE was BIAS for local attorneys and if he didn’t call it fair SHE’LL PUSH FOR A JURY TRAIL***

"If you are going to war Ruby Knight is your Tank"

Ruby Knight is an Attorney that I have and will continue to recommend. I had been told by several attorneys that I had a losing case and in Georgia a father has an impossible battle seeking custody.I was referred to her by an attorney in a different field of law. He made two things very clear. Num...ber 1: She was a tough and aggressive woman. Number 2: If I needed a Pit-bull in the courtroom she was the one. My first impression of Ruby Knight was all that I was told it would be. My consultation left me with mixed feelings. She did not beat around the bush or waste her time with tact. To me that was odd for a person trying to earn your business. It was that very quality I felt I needed in the courtroom. In a mater of minutes she had separated my facts from my opinions, slapped me with her knowledge of the law, and made it very clear that she could turn my case around. Her direct way of communicating with me as a client was awkward at first. Although she told me from the very start that she could not and would not promise I would get everything I wanted or in my mind promise me a victory. It is very clear that she does not like to lose! And she had not intentions of losing. I didn't understand a few of her strategies until the very end. If you think she is aggressive with you... you will be excited to see her on the attack . Ruby Knight is passionate about what she does. She will fought for my child like she was fighting for her own. If you want a lawyer that talks nice to you and tells you what you want to hear this is not the attorney for you . IF you want an attorney that is a straight shooter that will deliver facts and a honestly even if it hurts. Ruby Knight is your attorney. I never had to call her because the same aggression that can leave you stunned at times is the same aggression that drives her to stay on top of any and everything that will make or break your case. Walking into the court house with Ruby Knight was amazing. From the officer at the medal detector to the Judge in the court room , everyone seemed to know and respect her. Ruby Knight is great at what she does. She is your best chance for success in the courtroom. In the end I now have full custody of my child. All thanks to the hard work and no lose attitude of Mr Ruby Knight!

Satisfied Divorcee

Ruby Knight is an excellent Attorney!!!!!!! She helped me over come a very difficult divorce. Not only was she an awesome attorney she was a wonderful friend in my time of need. After all that I had gone through with my X-Husband she helped me come out of a separation as a winner, I appreciate her ...for all that she has done. If I ever had to go through this all over again I would definitely choose Attorney Ruby Lee Knight. I will recommend her to anyone in a similar situation. Thank you Ruby as an attorney and friend you are truly appreciated.

Great Attorney quick in response

I know Ms. Knight to practice Criminal and Family law. If I know her to represent traffic cases, I would use her and recommend her to friends. I went through unemployment like most people in this economy, so I have been extremely behind in my child support and alimony payments. Ms. Knight has been ab...le to prevent me from incarceration and my license being suspended. When an old arrest warrant was used for my arrest recently, Ms. Knight was there within hours to get me released without purging myself from the child support and alimony arearage. She is a fantastic attorney that is quick on her feet.
