Perfectly "typical" lawyer

I've learned, thanks to Russell, that attorneys are salespersons looking to close a deal during initial consultations. Every case seems easy, they know the judges and ins and outs, they will clear the case in 6 months because they don't like to hold on to cases longer than necessary. Yada, yada, yada... sign the...

Attorney Extraordinaire -- Thanking God Every Day for Knight's Advice

At a very low ebb, surrounded by dunces and contradictory advice from attorneys, I reached out to Mr. Knight's office. He personally phoned me back in 5 minutes, and gave me the answer to my question without charge. I am grateful and relieved.

Resolution

Never did I think that 11 months would feel like 11 years!! Between the covid-19 virus, all the difficulties it has caused... Never did I think it would impact my divorce. But it did. Which just made a situation harder than it already was. I just want to say that I am grateful for Russell Knight and his firm, for the patience and understanding they have had for me during one of the hardest times of my life. I am grateful for the resolution that is taking place and extremely grateful for the line of communication that has allowed me to experience some peace of mind during this emotional roller coaster. Thank you Russell for you're understanding and for having a staff that has the patience of saints!

Please look for someone else

This attorney costed me a seperation from my 2 1/2 years old son and was abducted by my wife to another country. His promises were never fulfilled and now I am a Dad left behind thanks to his incompetence. Please find another attorney

Everything that glitters isn’t gold!

I had high expectations for Russell. In the beginning he seemed very competent , caring and willing to go the extra mile for his clients. As time progressed it became clear that Russell and his team for the most part lack communication, attention to detail and customer service skills. Most times I have not been able to get...

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 him if you are in need of a family law professional.

The best lawyer I have ever had...

... and I have had to deal with many lawyers over the years - divorce, custody, bankruptcy, more custody issues, etc. Russell is still the only lawyer I recommend to anyone looking for one. He is honest, knowledgeable, responsible, experienced and he works fast. His fees are very reasonable and he doesn't "work the clock" like so many of his colleagues with whom I have worked in the past. I highly recommend Russell Knight to anyone looking for a great lawyer.

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 finally 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 contact me if you have any questions regarding this recommendation.
