I hired Kristal Knox for my case based on her reviews. I gave the down payment. I recently received a letter that she left the firm I had chosen to represent me and started her own firm" Knox and Belcher." I had done an enormous amount of research before retaining the previous firm. I asked how thi...

Replied last January 14, 2018I am happy to hear you hired me at my old firm based upon my reviews. I work very hard for my clients and truly care about them and their cases. It is not uncommon for attorneys to leave a particular law firm to either work for another firm, or open their own practice. As an attorney who has worked primarily in the field of family law for close to 11 years, I felt it was time to open my own practice. There are strict rules that one must adhere to when leaving a law firm. The letter mentioned was sent to all of my clients. That letter is meant to give all clients the choice and the ability to continue to be represented by the attorney of their choice. I have taken steps to ensure that my clients have a smooth transition and that their cases remain unaffected by my change of firms. I have no control over my previous firm and whether they choose to keep the money paid to them via the non-refundable retainer agreement or to provide it to you to so you may remain with the attorney of your choice. What I can control is what I charge the clients who choose to come with me to my new firm. If we indeed spoke about your case after my departure from my old firm, you would have been provided with the option that all clients were provided regarding credits received for money kept by my old firm. I have had many clients take advantage of this offer. I have not asked any clients to delay in retaining me for any purpose, let alone delay in retaining me for 100 days. A delay in retaining me would have no effect on whether the old firm provides the remaining portion of the non-refundable retainer to the client. Who you choose to represent you is a very important decision. Please contact me to discuss your case. Unfortunately, this review was placed anonymously, so I cannot contact you. I look forward to speaking with you.
