Family Law

Upon graduating from the University of Illinois College of Law in 2006, Russell Knight began working for a small general practice law firm in Chicago, Illinois. The majority of the clientele at this law firm were Spanish speaking so Russell spent his free time during this period learning Spanish.

In 2009, Russell resigned from the small law firm and moved to Mexico to perfect his spoken Spanish.  A few months later, Russell Knight returned to Chicago, Illinois to open up The Law Office of Russell D. Knight.

While Russell Knight always focused on family law, The Law Offices of Russell D. Knight began exclusively practicing family law in 2013.  In addition to being licensed in Illinois, Russell is also licensed to practice law in Florida where he maintains an office in Naples, FL.
