Fantastic family lawyer

Miss Knox has been fantastic and hardworking from day one. She listened intently at the consultation, and over the next year and a half has been very thorough and compassionate throughout the whole ordeal. As a father going through family court, this can be a tough experience. She has made this much ...more palatable as well as comprehensive. I did a lot of my own research and homework and provided this to her in order to help her help me, and she told me that she greatly appreciates the fact that my organization skills and help on my end has been beneficial to her getting this case through the legal system here in Pinellas County. Highly recommended, aggressive when needs to be, yet professional and experienced. If you're looking for one of the areas best family lawyers that truly cares about her clients, I would recommend giving her a call for a consultation.

Highly recommended

Kristal Knox is one of the best attorneys in the area. During my divorce and DVI I dealt with various attorneys who didn’t seem to be working for my best interest. Kristal is not one of those lawyers. She’s very focused on getting you through your case with the best possible outcome for you and y...our family. She truly cares about her clients and it shows not only in the way she communicates but also I’m the realistic suggestions she makes regarding the options she believes are best. I’ve never worked with an attorney who has a heart and treated me like a human being with feelings the way Kristal and her associates have. They were all welcoming, pleasant, professional and caring. I was referred to Kristal by a few different attorneys. They said she is very smart. I agree with that, however it is her wisdom that really sets her apart. It was obvious that she had plenty of experience in family law and I never felt she was steering me wrong. If you’re looking for a professional family law attorney who will handle your case, communicate effectively and talk you through each step, please consider choosing Kristal Knox. I’m so thankful to her and her team at Knox and Belcher for their hard work and honesty. It’s hard to find all of this in an attorney! I don’t write reviews for things very often but I offered to write this because I was so pleased with this law firm. I highly recommend Kristal Knox.

Experienced, Professional, Extremely Helpful, Always available!!

Life is tough and can hit you hard at times, but if you have Kristal Knox on your side, i gurantee you it only gets better from there. I hired Kristal and the very first meeting we had, she listened to the whole situation and asked a lot of questions. She scribbled a lot of notes, explained what we c...an do, and asked us what our expectations are. From then onwards, things kept falling in place. She is always available, and i can say that for a fact as she replied to one of my emails at around 9pm at night. This was when our case was over but i found out i still need the other party, i sent an email and she replied, "Yes i can help.." late in the evening. She did not even charge me for that last unexpected roadblock just because she wanted to help me out. Her fee is reasonable but you get what you pay for which is, quality representation, vast legal experience, detailed discussion with you and what you want, availability, and fast responses. She respects her clients and takes interest in your case. She wants to learn about your situation and i guess thats what gives her all that experience as each case is unique and she understands family and legal dynamics. She is always wiling to work with you, and always have your interest in mind. She was with me all the way to the end including mediation, in the courtroom, and was willing to meet me at any of their offices in Tampa Bay Area. Her paralegal Karen was always available as well and they both make a good team. I am extremely satisfied with her service, will definitely recommend her, and will always consult her for any legal issues in the future. Thanks Kristal!!

If you want action, that's what you'll get

When I hired Kristal Knox I had been denied access to my child by her mother. She took my case and filed a paternity action. Within a few months I was seeing my child again on a regular basis. She swiftly helped me in enforcing my legal rights as a father. She is a no nonsense, fast acting, tenaciou...s attorney that is reliable and experienced. I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking legal assistance in family law. A+.

The Go-To Law Firm

I had been going through family court issues with my child's mother for over 5 years. I had loads of paperwork from doing work myself and from another attorney. Mrs. Knox was able to organize all of my paperwork and assist me in filing the motions needed to get me a resolution. Everything was done in... a timely manner. She was able to get my rights back to my child after the mother had been withholding him for over 2 years. She was also able to fix child support issues as well. After dealing with previous attorneys that had gotten me nowhere, it was great to have someone finally give me the results I needed. I would use her again if problems ever arise in the future, and I would also recommend her to anyone with family law issues. She is overall the best attorney I have ever had experience with!
