About
Learn more about Russell D Knight, a dedicated family lawyer with a passion for helping clients in Naples, Florida. Russell Knight, a skilled family lawyer based in Naples, Florida, has a diverse background that has shaped his legal career. Born in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, Canada, Russell and his family relocated to the United States in 1991. He pursued his education at Bradley University in Peoria, Illinois, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Computer Systems in 2000. After gaining experience as a computer programmer for a Fortune 50 company, Russell realized his true calling was to work with people rather than machines. This realization led him to enroll in the University of Illinois College of Law in Urbana, Illinois. In 2006, he graduated from law school and began his legal career at a small general practice law office in Chicago, Illinois. During his time at the law office, Russell worked with a predominantly Spanish-speaking clientele, prompting him to dedicate his free time to learning Spanish. In 2009, he took a bold step by resigning from the law office and moving to Mexico to further enhance his Spanish-speaking skills. Upon his return to Chicago, Russell established The Law Office of Russell D. Knight. In 2013, Russell made the decision to focus exclusively on family law, leading to the rebranding of his practice as The Law Offices of Russell D. Knight. While family law remains his primary focus, Russell also utilizes his knowledge in criminal, immigration, and bankruptcy law to provide comprehensive legal services to his clients. Since 2015, Russell has collaborated with attorney Rahul Iyer, forming a partnership based on mutual respect and shared values. Their approach involves co-counseling on cases and sharing expenses, allowing them to provide high-quality legal representation to their clients. Both Russell and Rahul, originally from Canada, share a similar sense of humor and enjoy working together. In his personal life, Russell Knight is passionate about learning new languages, running, and cooking. These hobbies reflect his dedication to continuous growth and self-improvement, qualities that also define his approach to practicing law.
