The Best of the Best!

Russell knight has to be the most professional, caring and trustworthy attorney in Chicago. Since day one he has had nothing but my best interest front and center. He has helped me battle not one but, two ex wives. Taking on my tedious case and helping me fight for my kids. Informing me upfront of ...his tight knit plan, which not once led me down a disappointing path. Over that time, Russell never sat back. Always keeping me informed, fighting for me and my children every court appearance. His extreme knowledge of the whole Cook County court system played well in our favor too. To date, we are just about finished with our court matters. However, I am sure I have made a great friend along what's been a tough, hard worked, divorce. Russell will not let you down. He has an awesome disposition and is well respected in the courtroom.

Calm amidst the storm

Russell represented me in court for about a year straight on matters concerning child support, custody and visitation. His professional advice and calm counsel was exactly what my family needed. Not only was he informed and prepared, but he was also compassionate and empathetic. I highly recommend h...im if you are in need of a family law professional.

Truly The Best

After firing 2 lawyers we have found Russell through the internet. He is truly the best! He helped my husband and I win what seemed to be a very long custody battle of my StepSon. We have used Russell's services since 2008. He helped us establish visitation, motioned for vacation and holidays and fin...ally when we were ready he reviewed full custody with us and explained everything. He was very homest and we trusted him 1000% with everything. If he would of through that we did not have a chance he would of told us right away. With his help and knowledge we were paired with the right Child Representative we fought hard along side with Russell to do what was best for my Step Son. Thank you Russell for everything you have helped us with and for always being so understanding and supportive. I highly recommend Russell for any case as he is very professional, known throughout the court personel, and the most important VERY REAL!

simply the best

triple A+++ legal representative Russell and I experienced many annoying, difficult setbacks during my case. I found him to be the most PROFESSIONAL legal council I've experienced. (We easily could have had a disagreement or two). I highly recommend his services and you are more than welcome to con...tact me if you have any questions regarding this recommendation.

Straight forward and very knowledgeable!

Hi everybody, I would like to take a minute and share my personal experience with Mr. Knight and I suggest you take a minute and read it! Because your situation might be more serious that you think! Based on the reviews I read on the web and I also met with some other lawyers, I chose to work with M...r. Knight's office, and thank you God for pointing me into that direction! January 2014 I was in a very low period of my life, my wife had separated me almost a year before, she wanted to divorce me and guess what, take bunch of my properties! I was also in a complicated change of status situation. If I say I was desperate and depressed it would be too soft. So I walked in for a free consultation in the office of attorney Russell Knight and what are my eyes seeing, small office, boxes with paperwork, two assistants, the phone kept ringing the whole 10min I was there and I said to my self - he is a busy guy! Prior to that visit I went to an attorney's office in downtown, shiny and big, the guy talked with me for almost an hour and the phone didn't ring once, needles to say I would have probably payed a lot more. Anyway, so I explain to Mr.Knight my difficult situation and he was very straight forward with me and told me exactly what was needed to be done and there was no time to wait. I had to divorce her right away and file my paperwork for my emigration case. So I put myself together and decided to act! I hired him and we filed my divorce case, even though I was angry and confused with what to do, he gave me a good advice to keep everything how it was with my wife, like don't go and take your car and don't disconnect her phone :) We had some complications with the divorce, but at the end I came to an agreement with her mom, who was the main cause for the problems and with the help of Mr. Knight, I got happily divorced! Kept what was mine and the nightmare with the constant fights and harassment was over! Mr.Knight filled my second case in time and in just two months my status was successfully changed, and the life for me had a meaning again! I will strongly recommend Mr.Knight services to anybody in need! I am happy I chose him for my cases. I would recommend whoever hires him to check more often their case status with his office because, as I said they are busy and sometimes may take a few days for them to update you. Overall he is very knowledgeable of the law and his fees are very reasonable! Hands down, what he had told me in January happened for me a few months later. Thank you!
