The paralegal was rude, didnt even give me a chance to speak. Just said we are booked till next week call around if you need a lawyer today.

I can’t say enough about Lisa McKnight and her entire staff. They treat you like a human being. They listen. They explain things. They’re all on the same page. They work together.
They’re kind. They treat you like you matter. Doesn’t that say something?! I literally have renewed faith in a system that has failed so many because of this experience.

I've worked in cases over the years with Lisa McKnight as my opposing counsel. She is smart, skillful and professional. A formidable opponent who puts the needs of her client first. I would not hesitate to recommend her.

Professional and patient.

Lisa is the empitome of professionalism. Her integrity and character are such that her fellow lawyers and professional colleagues aspire to glean from her knowledge as well.

Lisa is a colleague that I highly respect and I would never hesitate to send a friend or family member to her. She and her staff are extremely knowledgeable on all family law matters and handle their cases with professionalism and courtesy.

Lisa is a brilliant and compassionate attorney who is also a consummate professional. Lisa's reputation as a skilled, dedicated, and hard-working advocate for her clients certainly precedes her. I would highly recommend Lisa to my friends and family for any family law dispute they may have.

Extremely intelligent and capable attorney out of Dallas. I would refer family and friends to her when her services are needed.

I called for information and the paralegal was nice and helpful. However, an appointment for a consultation was WAY TOO EXPENSIVE.

Rob Canas is an amazing lawyer. His knowledge and expertise along with his humble, kind spirit surpasses anything I expected in an attorney. He made a very stressful time much easier for me to bear by guiding me through every step. I would recommend him and his assistant Paul any day! Thanks Rob.

If you look for a family trial attorney who can be tough with the your ex and eat the other attorney for breakfast, or just negotiate with them and get results, look no where else. I was involved in high complex lengthily child custody case and I lost, costing me hundreds of thousands of dollars. The moment I found Lisa, she requested my entire file and was prepared to discuss her strategy how to handle my case and she lowered my child support a lot, despite my high income. Lisa's retainer was fair, despite her hourly $500, her billing was fair and cost me a whole lot less than my previous trial attorney . Her staff was very prompt to return calls and e mails and Lisa kept me informed of all the aspects of the case and discussed listened and explained everything in simple terms . Her many years of experience and her vast knowledge of Texas child custody laws and her attention to details, made sure she obtained me a favorable results and less than favorable results for my ex.

Helpful!

This law office isn't accepting any new clients for the next 2 months.They secretary said they are short on attorneys for child cases.Recommended that I call back in a month or 2,LOL.Thanks Again!

Lisa got me custody of my son, and if you knew my back story you would have thought that would be impossible. She is one of if not the best family lawyer in Dallas. Her and her team are very professional and a pleasure to work with. I would recommend her every time!!!

Lisa and her team are the most AMAZING trial team ever. She has a strategy for every response. Awesome!

I would absolutely recommend Lisa and her team. I wish I had had their services when I first had my divorce. They gave me back the fair treatment that I was robbed of years ago. I wish I had found them sooner. Thank you Lisa and your team!

Lisa is a smart, aggressive family law attorney in Dallas, Texas. Maybe one of Dallas' finest! She can settle a case when it needs settling, or put a case to trial if settlement is not a good outcome. She is board certified in family law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.

Very very disheartened to have called this morning and find out that consultations are $75 on the phone and $500 in person. This doesn't go to the retainer fee, either, this is separate. I know this is their practice and they can charge as they wish, but really ?!? What in the world!

A very extensive custody battle where I can say that the children won due to Lisa's amazing courtroom skills and knowledge in a 2 week jury trial.

Lisa is smart, tough, and gets results. If you need someone to fight for you, this is who you want on your side.

Lisa McKnight is a top-notch family attorney, who has an amazing presence that exudes confidence and determination. You will immediately know you are in excellent hands and with someone who will never give up fighting for you. I had the honor of meeting her at multiple legal conferences in which she was a guest speaker, and it was clear to everyone Lisa is an outstanding family attorney at the top of her field.

I endorse this lawyer’s work. Lisa's experience, skill and legal knowledge is an invaluable help to me and was evident during her recent CLE presentation. She is a rock-star speaker.

Lisa McKnight is a highly skilled, highly experienced litigator - she is a polished litigator and a warrior in the courtroom.

I have participated in a number of conferences and continuing education courses with Lisa McKnight, and I find her to be an expert in the field of family law. She knows how to work smart to win her cases. I highly recommend her.

Intelligent, kind, experienced attorney. Very understanding and able to meet client needs. Would trust with all legal issues. Her reputation precedes her for a very good reason. Great staff as well!

Lisa is shrewd and highly capable. She knows what she is doing and will thoughtfully strategize the best course of action for your case. She is extremely well-regarded in the legal community and is highly recommended!

I am Lisa McKnight's colleague and fellow attorney in the DFW Metroplex (Fort Worth side.) I can tell you that before I even met Lisa, I knew her by reputation as one of the most disciplined, effective, family law attorneys in Dallas. When the subject of family law comes up in conversation, Lisa's name is almost always mentioned as one of the very best. She has been Board Certified in Family law for many years, and as a lawyer, if I needed a divorce in Dallas, Lisa is the person I would call. She cares about her clients personally, but always balances that care with top-notch legal research, knowledge, experience, and case management. Now that I have spent time discussing the law with her face-to-face as a lawyer entering my sixth year of practice, Lisa has become a mentor to me. Lisa is one of two lawyers in Dallas whom I would call for help with any highly complex case. If you are in Dallas and need resolution to a divorce or child custody matter, call Lisa. She is the perfect balance of attorney and counselor at law. She and her amazing staff will not only listen but truly HEAR YOU, and get the ball rolling in the direction that is best for you.

My hearing took place on March 28, 2017. Lisa was amazing! I have hired other attorneys in the past to help me with my case but no one stood up for me and rocked like she did. When I walked out of the court room in the past I felt like I lost and my ex won again and again and again. Lisa stopped that cold and instead of playing defense at court Lisa was on the offense the whole time, and the Judge saw right through my ex’s lies finally. My daughter and I would like to thank you. You are a true definition of a ROCK STAR attorney, and the staff at your office are awesome.

They use an application called MyCase which keeps their clients at arm's length and out of communication. It fails viable communication between attorney and client. They bill for many nonessential attorney communications which do not further cases.

I have found their recommendations for supporting professionals in psychology and other arenas to be unhelpful.

As a parent in need of strong custody advocates without even trial encounters, they sucked. Lisa and the people she has hired are incompetent and unresourceful in the Dallas county family court system.

I am sadly disappointed in the choice of this lawfirm after 13 months of no progress in my family custody situation.

We had a complex, high-asset divorce case that had been mishandled by a previous attorney, and had been allowed to drag on for over 4 years with no end in sight! The stress was unimaginable. When I conducted my research for a new attorney (I research EVERYTHING!), I contacted several attorneys. Most seemed more interested in the fees...and some of those retainer fees...OMG!!

Lisa, Gene and their staff were amazing. Immediately after the initial consultation, which we did over the phone, I knew we had chosen the right attorney. And if I had any doubts (which I didn't), they would have been eliminated after we came in to meet with Lisa and Gene face to face. Talk about go-getter, no-nonsense high energy!! She had the whole staff working on this case, and the confidence she exuded was very reassuring. We spent hours going over every detail.

Watching her work was like watching one of those scripted high-profile lawyer shows on TV, only this was real life. She'd decide that expert appraisers were needed for this asset or that asset and she'd get them on the phone right then and there. She asked questions that had not been asked previously; questions that only come from experience. And they were questions that made a difference.

Her and Gene worked in tandem - she would start a sentence and he would finish it. Or she would work on one aspect of the case and he would work on another. While they were working, their paralegals were right in sync, moving around and between them, handing them copies of this or that or printing off whatever was needed so they never missed a beat. If so much personal information hadn't been discussed I would love to have videoed the whole scene.

And when we went to trial - oh man! What I can tell you is that she was surgical! Gene was there, her lead paralegal was there and it was ON!! Due to the complexity of the case, the trial lasted for hours. Every detail was covered and in the end the judge had a clear, and most importantly, an ACCURATE picture of the facts and the decision was fair and even - which was the goal from the onset 5 years before.

If you're researching family law attorneys, the law firm of Lisa McKnight is the way to go. Lisa is well respected in the courts and has the expertise to get the job done in a professional manner. She only practices family law as opposed to some other attorney's who "also do" family law. Trust me, it makes a big difference!

One of the smartest persons you can meet today.

Very good lawyer helped my family .
