Russell Knight

Firm: Law Office of Russell D. Knight
1 N. State # 1500 , Chicago , Illinois 60602
Practice Areas: Family
Russell Knight was born in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, Canada.  His family moved to the United States in 1991.. Russell Knight attended Bradley University in Peoria, Illinois and graduated in 2000 with a Bachelor of Science in Business Computers Systems.. After two years working as a computer programmer for a Fortune 50 company, Russell Knight decided that he’d rather work with people than machines and he enrolled in the University of Illinois College of Law in Urbana, Illinois.. 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.  Russell Knight much prefers to do one thing, Family Law, and do it well. Russell Knight still, however, uses a great deal of his general knowledge of Criminal, Immigration and Bankruptcy Law in his Family Law practice.. Russell Knight has been working with attorney Rahul Iyer since 2015.  A partnership or an associate position is too restrictive for either Russell or Rahul. Therefore, they co-counsel almost all their cases while sharing in expenses. Russell and Rahul are both originally from Canada and enjoy each other’s dry Canadian humor (or as we spell it, “humour”).. Russell Knight enjoys learning new languages, running, and cooking in his spare time.

His careful, measured approach to addressing conflict and advocating for his clients’ interests often brings about negotiated settlements that avoid costly and time-consuming litigation while still achieving desired results.. When it is necessary to go to court, Steve is an adept and savvy counsel, with long experience in Chicago, as well as in greater Cook, Will, DuPage, and Kankakee County courts. Steve’s deep understanding of family law enables him to present substantive, compelling arguments that advance his clients’ interests without creating additional conflict or drama. His aim in litigation is to yield positive, lasting results that enable both parties to move forward without further dispute.. Steve began his legal career as a Hollywood talent agent, but found himself missing the more down-to-earth quality of life in the Midwest. He returned to Chicago and joined the family law practice of his father, Michael Wittenberg, where he quickly discovered a passion for both the business and personal aspects of helping clients protect their financial interests while moving forward in their private lives.
