As a former prosecutor and criminal defense attorney I appreciate his understanding and application of the law. Probably one of the fairest Judges I’ve ever appeared before.

To date Judge Knish seems to be the only one to genuinely care about my childrens well being and their best interest. He is very compassionate, understanding and actually took time to read everything which I have never seen from any other judge before. If you get him as your judge consider yourself very blessed.

Judge Knish is one of the best judges I have come across. I appeared in his courtroom for my own case on several occassions. Not only was he extremely knowledgable in family law, but he portrayed a genuine concern for my well being. He went above and beyond how I expected a judge to act. You will be very lucky to have him as your judge and know he will actually review your paperwork, give you straight answers, and will be as fair as possible.
