We hired Jennifer to represent one of our family members to appeal a conviction. Initially, Jennifer was very informative and helpful. She has a very nice and trusting demeanor. After viewing the case file, she informed the family about the mistakes that were made during the trial including violations of his civil rights and ineffective assistance of counsel, and gave us her recommendations on how we would proceed. Then we lost contact with her for about a month or so and had to literally search for her and her partner. We were desperate. After finding her partner, she informed us that they had severed their ties with one another, and gave us Jennifer's home address and telephone number.
To make a long story short, upon contacting Jennifer, we were able to pick up where we left off. Things were going great. She filed all of the paperwork and sent us copies. She kept us informed. As time went on, her contact with us became less and less. It was next to impossible to get her on the phone. I left numerous messages with her staff, I left voicemail messages and even paid a couple of visits to the office to no avail. She was paid to file paperwork that we found out was not filed. When she did file the brief for the appeal, she failed to notify us of the outcome. We got the results of the appeal by personally calling the court and inquiring. The court informed us that the decision had been made three months prior and that our attorney had been informed.. She completely failed to notify us. She stopped returning our phone calls and stopped replying to our text messages. We were so disappointed and we felt let down because we are a family with limited means and we trusted her..... We later went to pick up the briefs from her office. After informing us that she was now newly married, she said that we should tell our incarcerated family member to file for "ineffective assistance of counsel."..... She offered no apologies or explanations...

I hired Jennifer to handle my recent divorce. She came highly referred by a friend of mine who hired her to help his son. I was trying to go through the divorce process without hiring an attorney but my ex-wife hired a pit bull who was really trying to rake me over the coals. While I didnt want to spend the money I was told by people that this would really determine the rest of my life-- and definitely define my relationship with my children. I finally got up the money to retain and it seemed to be going a little slow at first and sometimes I had a hard time reaching her which was frustrating. I almost quit the whole process and stuck my head in the sand. Then we went to court for the temporary custody and alimony hearing and I saw her in action. All I can say is WOW. Did I underestimate her. And not to be sexist but I was also concerned about her being a kinda young female. But she completely exceeded my expectations and then some. I got joint legal and physical custody of my kids (one week on, one week off) and no child support obligation as long as we divide expenses. And NO ALIMONY!! I couldnt have asked for more! I didnt even know what rights I could get going in and she got me more than I even knew to ask for. Very thankful I spent the $$ and hung in there during the times it seemed to be going slow or was hard to reach. I highly recommend her to all folks looking to set a good foundation for the rest of their lives with their ex and raising their kids.

She and her Partner apparently disolved their relationship. Never informed me, would not return phone calls, never learned what actually happened to the case. her former Partner was also distracted and of no help. Courtesy was all I needed. This behavior just added more stress.

Jennifer explored all the options I had, and she put together a strategy that was basically fail safe and when the defendant was faced with all their options they capitulated!

I met Jennifer in 2009 during a very difficult time in my life. My
marriage had hit rock bottom, and I had very little choice but to file for
divorce (after a 2-year separation). My sister contacted Jennifer and explained my situation.
From the first time I spoke with Jennifer, she was very compassionate and
kind. She understood how difficult this process was for me since I had
strong religious convictions, and hated the thoughts of divorce. She
spoke with me on several occasions, always patiently listening to my
concerns and supplying me with the wise spiritual and legal support I
desperately needed.
Yes, Jennifer Knight is a great lawyer who looks after the welfare of her
clients by providing them excellent legal advice and personal customer
service, but her gifts go far beyond the legal realm. As I mentioned
before, God has blessed her with compassion and kindness, and I'm
thankful God placed her in my life when I needed both a lawyer and a
friend.
