EXPERTISE
When you need to see to a doctor with a serious problem, you prefer to go to a board-certified doctor who has more training and specialized experience than an average doctor. The same concept applies to the decision to hire an attorney to handle a traumatic incident in your life. You prefer a board -certified attorney to handle your case that can have life-altering consequences. This is the person you are going to trust to protect your rights, your liberty, and your future. And the right attorney can make a difference in your case. When it comes to trust, only a former prosecutor has an edge over the prosecution, with experience on both sides of the fight.
In addition to triggering time in custody, a criminal conviction carries other significant consequences that impact people for the rest of their lives. Once the gears of the “criminal justice machine” begin moving against you, it is imperative to move quickly to preserve your rights and protect your interests. Nana Knight is a former professor of law, and she has trained hundreds of attorneys. She has tried the toughest cases. If there is anyone who knows how to spot a weakness in the prosecution’s case, it’s Nana. She knows which cases the prosecutors are most likely to vigorously pursue and the cases they are going to negotiate down or even dismiss. Her experience is not theoretical but practical and with her extensive prosecutorial background, she knows how and when to influence prosecutors’ decisions in all types of criminal cases, at all stages of the proceedings.

Our Core Values
The Knight Law Core Values
The Knight Strategy
Helping You to Achieve the Best Outcome
Work with a military-trained trial strategist, a board-certified criminal law specialist, a teacher, and a problem-solver who understands you and is committed to defending your rights. At Knight Law, we are committed to anticipating the prosecution’s strategies and tactics, finding ways to neutralize them with the best defense available, and helping you to achieve the best outcome possible in your case.
In chess, the knight attacks in a unique L-shaped pattern and is the only chess piece that can leap over pieces. This method of attack allows it to move to squares inaccessible to other pieces. No other chess piece can do this.
The Knight Case Strategy similarly represents a unique approach to attacking the prosecution’s case. We discover facts that would otherwise remain inaccessible, through diligent and targeted investigation. We leap ahead of the government and proactively position your case for a successful outcome. Leveraging our expertise, we work to slowly dismantle the prosecution’s case against you. We do this by anticipating what the prosecution will do and look for ways to build a defense strategy to neutralize the threat to you, protect your rights, and defend your freedom. We give you an honest assessment of the evidence in your case and identify the best options to defend you, whether it is protecting you with a plea bargain, or trying your case to a jury.
We make it our mission to educate, inform, and empower you with knowledge of the process, so you can decide what is best in your case. We make it a point to understand your priorities (like keeping your employment or professional license) and all the collateral issues important to you during this life-changing process. When you work with us, you will be armed with knowledge about what is right in your circumstances, including:
- The stakes involved
- The system you are up against
- Potential collateral consequences (such as employment,
immigration, impact on your professional license) - How your case will progress
- The options available to you
- The best-case scenario
- The worst-case scenario
- Negotiation options with the prosecutor
As soon as you become our client, we launch the Knight strategy for you. We immediately assess your case, and we proactively investigate and work to see if it is feasible to persuade the prosecution to reject your case in the pre-filing stage. Sometimes this is not possible, and cases still get filed. If this happens, we explore alternatives to formal prosecution, while we keep you updated along the way so you can make the best decisions possible in your case.
As a former prosecutor, Nana Knight knows what negotiation tactics are most effective with prosecutors. She prepares thoroughly, with a laser-focus on all points of leverage with the prosecution to work out the best possible outcome for you.
There are cases where our clients have a high likelihood of success at trial before a jury or judge. Sometimes clients risk little by opting for trial because no other option or proposed deal by the prosecution makes sense. Every case is different, but as a true trial attorney, we prepare every case as if it’s going to trial. This ensures we are ready for whatever direction we need to go with your case
When we go to trial, rest assured that you are in great hands. Having done numerous jury trials , Nana Knight knows that preparation, presentation, appeal to the jury, poise and professionalism go a long way to maximizing your chances of a favorable verdict in your case. This is where experience counts, and you will benefit greatly from this experience.
The criminal justice and legal process is stressful enough and we understand what our clients are going through. We are here for you, and we don’t judge. We pride ourselves on our responsiveness and remain available for you. You deserve the best service, and we are committed to you and your case. Read about the Core Value – Clients First.

Your Story
To the government and the prosecution, you are just another file. At our office, we take the time to get to know you, and understand the reality behind the alleged incident. Your priorities are important to us. We are selective with the cases we take on because you are not just another file. We want to make sure we can tell your story and provide the best defense and strategy possible for your case.
Knowledge
Nana Knight has trained other attorneys and was a former professor of law. As a teacher, she strives to provide each client with knowledge and information. A firm understanding of the legal process and the implications of your investigation, arrest, charge(s), or civil case can help you feel like you’re back in control again and give you some peace of mind.
Plan of Action
We will customize your plan of action and discuss the different ways we can protect you and present your defense. You will leave our meeting with a plan of action on how your case will be handled.
