Very surprised for his straight forward way of advice and honesty. He did not take the discussion we had in to a sales pitch but honestly advised me what was the best course of action to take which meant he would NOT make any money out of me. Honesty Appreciated.

Lawyer Russell is not a good divorce lawyer at all, but even worse is his paralegal Izzi Salgado who, no matter how desperate you write to her requesting to speak with the lawyer, never communicates with him or returns your calls and all the evidence that we send her to our defense never sent them to court ending the case against us having sufficient evidence to win the case and having paid them more than $ 10,000.00. I do not recommend them at all

I have not personally retained Mr. Knight because of the location, but he gave me expert advice on how to proceed in a difficult case. He understood all the complexities and complications right away which is a reflection of a seasoned and well educated attorney. He’s both down to earth and professional. He is at least worth a consultation and if able you could not go wrong retaining him.

Russell and his team delivered excellent service in my time of distress. He was very straightforward and easy to talk to . Transparency with no hidden cost .Great Attorney, I highly recommend.

I needed advice about a legal matter regarding my assets and Russel called me back on the same day with a free consultation. He was extremely friendly and personable and very polite. He actively listened, understood my concerns and addressed them giving me a sound peace of mind about my concerns. I am so happy I was able to receive his advice. If I ever have family law needs I will definitely be giving him a call in the future. I 10/10 recommend Mr. Knight!

Im grateful to have had Russell represent me through my divorce 4 years ago. Hes a great listener, and a clear communicator. Rather than push me to extract everything I could from the situation, he laid out my options with clarity and encouraged me to choose the route I saw best fit.Yesterday, I needed to access some records related to this case that I had lost . I emailed him, and within 15 minutes, on a Saturday nonetheless, Russell replied with a scan of the document I needed. You dont typically expect that level of service so long after-the-fact, but damn does it feel good to get it.

Divorce leaves normally rational minds muddy. Attorney Knight is the calm that is padded with expertise to help during a difficult time. I felt respected and felt that he was fair and reasonable with fees.

I reached out to Mr. Knight and within minutes he returned my call and gave me the information I needed.

I reached out to Attorney Knight when I thought I was ready to commence my divorce. He listened to my situation and gave me very straight-forward sage advice on what to expect, what he would do in my specific situation, and on next steps. Unfortunately I wasnt as ready as I thought at that moment and didnt proceed until a year later, after we moved out of the area. I reached out to him again then and he was again quick to respond and with helpful information. Unfortunately Russell is not licensed where we now live, so Im disappointed about that. But if you find yourself in this situation, you would be well-represented by Attorney Knight.

Asked Russell to consult on some complicated retirement issues, he was extremely helpful and on point with his answers. He answered my direct questions and was also able to refer me to articles he had written with more detailed information.

His website is outstanding. I left a message asking for a call-back and received a call within an hour. Although I didnt retain Mr. Knight, because of my specific situation, he did answer my questions and I felt more comfortable going forward.

Great divorce attorney. If you are looking for an attorney that knows how to handle divorces diligently and competently in the Chicagoland area, then go to Russell Knight.

Russell took the time to speak to me about my case and was extremely helpful.

Great fair understanding & will fight for your cause. A great attorney & good human.

Russell Knight is the most trustworthy family law attorney you will ever meet. Everything Russell says comes from a really good place and his words just set your mind at ease. The best part about working with them in my opinion is how helpful and available they make themselves. Someone is always there to answer questions. Russells team makes you feel valued. Thank you so much Russell!

I would highly recommend Mr. Knight and his team. They work great as a team and got my divorce completed in a timely manner within a few weeks, and it was very affordable. When I came into the office he took the time to introduced himself personally and laid out the plan. I was always able to get Mr. Knight on the phone personally as needed for additional instructions and guidance, he’s a very cool and standup guy. So again, I would highly recommend Mr. Knight. Thanks again, for getting my divorce completed stress free. And thanks to Jesus, and the whole team. If you want everything done right, call Russell Knight!

Wow! What a stand up guy and awesome attorney Russell Knight is! From the first day I met him he explained to me how everything would go, step by step, in each phase of my divorce/child custody case. He was right every time! Russell Knight is a great advocate for fathers as well. He truly listens and cares about your situation. Russell Knight was great in front of my judge and made sure my voice was heard. If you need somebody in your corner that will fight for you and see your case through to the end, look no further than Russell Knight. He will put a plan in place for you and follow it through to the end. Thank you Russell for all you do and all you are!

I have, unfortunately, had to deal with a lot of lawyers in the past. Russell is operates with integrity but takes a reasonable approach. I firmly believe that Russell approaches his cases and any information from an objective standpoint so that he can find a reasonable and realistic solution to help. There’s no empty promises. I trust Russell fully and know I am always going to get an honest perspective if I seek his advice!

I found Russell online, but not via Yelp -- I actually just found him by searching on Google for divorce attorneys in my area who had decent websites. Russell was very responsive and helpful throughout the whole process, and he did his best with a client who was not dealing well at all with the reality of his divorce. I was a mess, and I generally swung between defeated capitulation and blinding rage. Russell was somehow able to talk me back to rationality and get the whole thing done. Sometimes I would find myself wishing that he had been a bloodthirsty Visigoth, but that was just my emotions talking. In the end, he was as efficient, understanding, and effective as I could have hoped. My divorce agreement wound up being the best possible result. I should also note that his rates are extremely reasonable, and I never felt gouged.A year later, because of the fact that my ex-wife stopped paying the mortgage on a condo that we both technically owned, I had to file for bankruptcy due to the overwhelming mortgage payments. Russell was there for me again, and was again able to get the best possible result of my Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Once again, his fee for the bankruptcy was extremely reasonable.If I need legal services and representation again, I wont hesitate to hire him.

Russell is the sort of advocate you want on your side, and right from the start you get that sense. I tend to cross my fingers and pray when I contact an attorney, as I get easily intimidated. I reached out with some legal questions, and heard back right away. Russells personable candor immediately put me at ease. While I understand that some professions require a certain degree of detachment by nature of the work, I also believe that empathy goes a long way in building trust with clients and that is something you can anticipate with this firm.

I have known Russell for many years and have also been opposing counsel to him.Russell is one of those brilliant people who knows a lot about everything. He is the person I go to whenever I have a question outside of family law (my area of expertise), such as immigration or criminal defense. Russell also deeply cares and respects his clients while also providing services at reasonable rates. I think Russells clients are very lucky to have him for a lawyer.

Called with a few questions and Mr. Knight was very helpful. Definitely would recommend his services.

Amazing attorney. He is a very nice attorney who answers your calls and responds to your messages and e-mails. I highly recommend Mr. Russell for any of your needs. He is a great help!

Russell handled my divorce case. I would highly recommend him. He offers great legal advice, is very prompt to responding to concerns that need to be immediately addressed, and was always easy to get a hold of. His office is very on top of things. I felt like his fees were more than reasonable, and I was very happy with my settlement. Thank you, Russell!

Great experience with Russell over multiple cases and years! Clear thinking, empathetic towards the clients situation and needs, and knowledgeable as to when he needs to loop-in an outside expert. Highly recommended!

Attorney Knight and his team were a big help. They took care of everything for me and kept me informed throughout the process. Their time, energy, effort and most of all their patients were greatly appreciated. Will definitely call him again!

Great guys! Very friendly and also knowledgeable!

Mr. Knight is a straightforward and transparent attorney. Why? Check out his website for starters. How many attorneys tell you up front about their fees and costs? Virtually none! He’s also a zealous advocate for his clients, helping them with what is understably a difficult situation. A knowledgeable and honest attorney is waiting for your call, and his name is Russell D. Knight.

I was very lucky to find and use the services of Mr.Knight! He helped me with my divorce and immigration case. Very straight forward and knowledgeable Attorney! He will give you the best advice and will defend your interest in the best way possible! Thank you and your assistants!

My experience with this firm was great. Ms. Russell was very helpful, he gave me all the information I needed. I will highly recommend him . Tank you for your service!

Triple A+++ legal representativeRussell and I experienced many annoying, difficult setbacks during my case. I found him to be the most PROFESSIONAL legal council Ive 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.

Russell knows the complexities of divorce law and will aggressively fight hard for his clients rights. He also speaks Spanish which allows him to assist the Spanish speaking community as well. I highly recommend Russell and his team.

I would not recommend. I never heard from Russell but when you called or emailed they were sure to charge you. And his front office staff, specifically ‘cindy’ I believe, is very unprofessional and rude.Took our money and screwed us over in court and now we are spending more money to reverse what he screwed up.He will never reach out to you. The only time you hear about your case is when he wants money. He eats away your retainer fee in less than 2 months! Beware!

You can barely get ahold of your lawyer. You can call the office and request a call back or schedule a phone call appointment. The turn around time for communication responses is not practiced or accurate. Paralegals misinform clients and are not truthful in their mishaps to save their own tails. Russell began on a good note and steadilymade false promises, hopes, misconstrued information and all in all was incompetent. The only thing they were current and swiftly in doing was sending bill invoices. Totally for less than a year of work, it cost me about $6,000, for a simple family law case that should have been over with thousands of dollars ago and half the time. They will suck you dry then try to treat you as if you’re expecting to much from them. Many mistakes was made that could have been avoided. Clearly my case was lost in a sea of other cases he had. One would think he was a public defender attorney instead of a private attorney being paid out of your own pocket for services. Once you hire a lawyer, you should not have to go out on your own and produce results, gain information from other lawyer sites because you cannot get in contact with your own attorney. Many instances of poor communication, attention to detail and an unwillingness to do their jobs was the issue with this law office. Save your time and money. The only pro in this situation was Attorney Iyer. He was a pleasure and would really fight for you in court. He provided clarity, would suggest the best solutions and was very effective. Attorney Iyer should be the only one with a current license to practice.

Russel responds quickly, gives great advice, knows his stuff and his services are reasonably priced.

I am so disappointed in this office. They promised me so much, and it was the complete opposite. The attorney barely knew about my case, and didnt really seem to care. But when it comes to paying them, oh they really care! I would not recommend this office to anyone.

Mr knight help me with my case,hes the best lawyer I recommend mr knight hes really good?

He got me full custody of my son. Great work.

Done with this attorney! Waste of my money and time! Im a single mother. I barely got money for my sons, and I hire him to help me and nothing! Es un fraude!

Russell helped me with a bankruptcy. Just get the man what he asks for and let him work his magic. It will all be over soon

Had a few conversations with Russell and he was always straight and clear with answers to my questions. While eventually I did not need those services, I am sure my matter would have been handled with professionalism and care.

Honest, caring and respectful experience.

Terrible Service. Can never get a hold of my attorney. Dont know whats going on. My case was lost.

Very bad lawyer, during 2 years of my case he did absolutely nothing, I regret having put my case with such an incompetent lawyer.
