We had Russel help my company with a couple different legal issues and questions we needed help addressing. He was great and now we feel confident that we have a trusted, local law firm we can go to for help with our future needs.
I hired Russell in the Fall of 2013 to represent me in a multi million dollar securities fraud lawsuit. The lawsuit came to an end in the Fall of 2015 after a three week trial by jury in which we prevailed on all counts.
I cannot say enough good things about Russell Knight! He is very through and organized. He took well over 5000 pages of documents and testimony, wove it into a story that the jury could understand and lead them day by day to the final outcome. Russell is as steady as they come. Do not let his boyish face and soft demeanor fool you. I guarantee that he will not let anyone take advantage of him or the situation.
Most importantly, the jury really liked Russell. After the verdict, both sides sat down with a couple of the jurors to get their feedback. They stated that Russell had presented a full, concise, believable story, which they appreciated.
If you have a large case, which this was, and need an attorney that will spend whatever time is necessary and keep you informed every step of the way, you cannot do better than Russell Knight.
Obviously, I highly recommend Russell and the entire Smith Alling firm!
My practice focuses on litigation of business and real estate disputes. I also represents both employees and employers in employment matters including employment discrimination and wage claims. Please feel free to give me a call at to discuss your legal concern.

Great experience
We had a great experience working with Russell. After a bad experience dealing with a company left us out a great deal of money and unsure what to do, Russell guided us the right direction, kept us informed throughout the process and ultimately lead us to a successful outcome in a timely manner.

Knowledgeable attorney
Mr. Knight worked tirelessly on my case for almost two years until I was satisfied with the outcome. He was supportive of my goals but wasn't afraid to point out pros and cons to attaining them. He knew the law and its limitations and helped work within those boundaries. I am very happy with the outcome and highly recommend retaining Russell Knight for an employment case.
