Top Notch Attorney

We hired Robert on two occasions for child custody cases. His expertise on family court were exactly what we needed. Robert was upfront and personable with us and delivered on the things that were important to us. We would highly recommend The Knight Law Firm to anyone looking for great representat...ion, you will not be disappointed!

Custody and divorce lawyer

I hired Robert Knight a few years ago for a custody and divorce case. He was very professional and methodical. I would highly suggest using Mr. Knight if you are in a similar situation.

Tremendous help

Robert guided me every step of the way during my custody case. It didnt matter how many times I called or what question I had, I always got an answer and explanation. I recommend him to everyone I know.

Amazing work!

We hired Mr. Knight as our attorney for a custody battle. Sometimes being a client is very frustrating waiting on the legal system to get things in order, but Mr. Knight kept reassuring us that all would end well. He was right! He is a quiet attorney, but he does amazing work! I have met other cl...ients of his and everyone has the same opinion. He is always on time, has everything in order, and wins his cases. I definitely recommend Mr. Robert Knight!

As long as you have a easy case

I hired Robert do to his witty sales pitch. Completely my fault. I should have known that he was just a salesman. My case was in 2014 and I haven't been able to talk to my kids since then. He sat back and watched my ex, without a lawyer mind you, get everything she wanted and then some. I am in the m...ilitary so I trusted him to do attorney work. I saw more activity out of the military lawyers that told me that they couldn't help me. After all of that pain, he walked away with my money and said if I wanted to appeal it would be an extra $4000. I couldn't afford to pay. My kids are suffering to this day. If you're a guy and you really want custody of your kids, I recommend you go with someone that will truly fight for you. Not this guy...
