Jury Trials
While jury trials have become less frequent, if she deems a jury trial necessary to best suit the needs of her clients, the case is set for jury trial. This most frequently happens in relocation cases, in which one parent seeks to move with the children to another state or city. This often follows marriage, a new job, or “because they want to”. As judges are reluctant to grant one parent the right to move, absent very compelling reasons, a jury trial is sought after by one of the parents.
Juries are also requested in some termination cases when a court may be more forgiving of a parent’s misdealing. The Law Office of Mary D. McKnight has extensive experience (over 100 jury trials from 1975-2016)

The best
When my ex- husband filed for divorce and filed for sole custody I felt lost in the legal world. Thanks to the Lord, I found Mary. She fought for me every day. It was a painful and difficult process to divorce and fight for custody but Mary made it easier. She told me exactly what to do and never gave up when things got hard. I love this woman, she's simply the best.

Amazing! She fought hard for best interest of my step daughter!
Throughout a 2yr custody battle for primary residence of my stepdaughter, Mary was very prompt, precise and patient in working with us even through the loss of her husband. She was very much involved in every step of the way, even helping us see positive when we'd hear so much negative. Mary stands for what she believes is the best interest and fights even harder. I would most definitely recommend Mary to anyone else needing help, she will stick with you and fight it out.
