Extremely Efficient Compassionate and Ready to Fight For you

Kristal is extremely detail oriented, listens to your concerns when needed and gives you one on one attention when it is your time. Kristal presents herself in court with quick responses and picks up on details to counter opposing counsel catching them off guard at times. She is impeccable with det...ails. I highly recommend Kristal for cases with children as in my case, she was their biggest advocate. I would say that her staff is extremely knowledgeable and supportive as well. Kristal is extremely forthcoming with what she feels is in your best interest so be prepared to hear what she has to say.

Amazing attorney

Kristal Knox was amazing when it came to handling my case. She is a talented divorce attorney. She is compassionate, listens, and achieves what she is set out to do. As a dad, she was able to get shared custody with my 2 kids that I was looking for. I HIGHLY recommend her!!

Saving my little boy !

Mrs. Knox where do I even began? This past 10 months have been crazy ! I hired mrs Knox in October to help me keep my son in Florida with me ! My ex was trying to move to Germany with her “ fiancé “ and as you know as a father that can be very frightening .. but as I hired mrs Knox she always told me... stop stressing he’s not going anywhere ! Well as a father I always have that thought in my head ! But August 19th was our trial and I’ve never seen a side in mrs Knox that I have witnessed before she went in there aggressively and proved to the court system that it was in my sons best Interest to stay in Florida with me ! I can’t thank you enough Kristal thank you for my long phone calls and always emailing you , you have saved my life and not only did you save my life you saved my sons life . Thank you for being the amazing lawyer you are !

Attorney Kristal Knox

Attorney Kristal Knox is an "EXCELLENT" lawyer. I consulted with her and hired her immediately. I met with her several times regarding getting custody of my son. We also spoke on the phone many times about my case. We went to court. In the end, she got custody of my son for me. I also have to a...dd that her staff is very compassionate.

F.E.A.R. (Face Everything And Rise)

I know this is a long review. But, I believe you will be assured Kristal is the right choice once you read this. "A hero is a person who finds strength to preserve and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles". -Christopher Reeves Having a military background, I was use to protecting others w...hen confronted by some of the most challenging and dangerous situations. However, when it came to getting my daughter out of a home where she resided with a registered sex offender, I felt helpless. After many failed attempts, I believe I ran out of options; so I thought. At that point, My father recommend an attorney that he hired during his divorce. He described her as a caring , intelligent, and a honest person. He said her name was Kristal Knox. At that moment I figured I had nothing else to lose. So, I decided to give her call. Little did I know, I had just spoke with the women who would forever bless the life of my family. The women who made possible what many told me would be impossible. The women who protected my family when I thought there was no other way. The women who was able to take my hope and transform it into reality. Understand this; her ability to take on the most difficult situation and produce a desired result is second to none. A few of many characteristics and abilities that makes Kristal a leader among peers: - When speaking with her, she was slow to speak and quick to listen. She did not miss one bit of information given to her. - She was able to think beyond the moment. In other words , she was a strategic thinker who continuously stayed ahead of the opposing party. - Her ability to take vast amount of information and convey it in a manner that makes the strongest impact is unparalleled. Know that this ability is crucial when appearing in front of a judge. - Kristal really does care. Not once did I ever feel abandoned or ignored. Every email and every phone call was answered. I now have custody of my daughter and a hero named Kristal Knox! Forever grateful
