Cautioning others to carefully consider whether this lawyer's fees and approach align with their needs.

I hired Robert Knight for legal research with the understanding that he would focus strictly on the areas we discussed, a steep $5000 for this service, However, I was deeply dissatisfied with the overall experience. First, I explicitly asked him not to review my file, as it contained information tha...t would not be favorable for him or my case. Despite this, he went ahead and accessed the file without my consent. I felt this was a breach of trust, especially given my clear instructions. I received a report that was incredibly difficult to understand. When I tried to make sense of it, I resorted to using ChatGPT for clarification, which only added to my frustration. The lawyer had initially mentioned that the first visit would be free, but I was still billed, and the final charges did not match the scope of the work I was led to expect. It felt as though the $5000 was primarily for reviewing my file and gathering evidence—tasks that should have been handled with more transparency and clear communication. Overall, I found the cost to be exorbitant for the services provided, especially for someone who may not have the resources to pay such a large amount. I would caution others to carefully consider whether this lawyer's fees and approach align with their needs.

Waste of Money

If you like wasting your money and investing in a lawyer who who will work with your ex wife's lawyer this is your guy. He will do whatever it takes to make sure you get nothing and literally will charge you for the most ridiculous things. I didn't even know you could waste $5,000 that quickly. If I ...could give a zero I would rate his firm as such. Please go somewhere else for God's sake!

Best Custody Lawyer in Louisiana

Robert Knight is hands down the most helpful and respectful lawyer I’ve ever worked with! I was at ease the entire process, because he and his staff truly cared about me and my needs. Very professional staff and very responsive to all my questions that I had. I would highly recommend him if you’re lo...oking for a professional in your corner! Thank you Robert Knight and staff!!

Great Attorney and Staff

I called Robert Knight's office after being in a wreck back in 2015. We just finished it (2020), due to the insurance company dragging it out. Robert and his staff kept me informed on what was going on the whole time. They are very nice, professional, friendly,... I could go on. I truly couldn't have... asked more from them! Also, I was more than happy with the amount of money he got for me. Robert Knight and his staff are AWESOME! I highly recommend him!
