I came to Kristal Knox after being with an attorney that disappeared after 6 months, with no communication, I had 5+ unfounded FALSE allegations filed against me by my kids mother at that time and a temporary parenting plan that only allowed me to see my kids for a few hours in the day on Saturdays, and Sundays. Within 3 months, Kristal Knox had gotten a signed parenting plan with 50/50 parenting time. My kids and I thank her for saving our family from being destroyed by lies. Mrs. Knox, you are the absolute best!!!!! you will always be my first choice. Just wanted to update this post, as of 2/2/18 my divorce is final and I have no child support, no alimony, and 50/50 custody with my kids!!!! GOD is good and Kristal Knox is truly an instrument of his will!!!! Thank you!

PS: Kristal Knox has since opened her own law firm "Law Office of Knox and Belcher" she defiantly has my recommendation.

I went in for counsel... and after thought I should write a review describing the experience, and planned on leaving it a thought until I got the below e-mail;

How to Find the Best Attorney for your situation
You need an attorney that:
Is ready to go to bat for you - no matter what the situation
Knows you are not hiring someone to fail
Does not like coming in second place
We have aggressive, loyal, knowledgeable attorneys ready to defend your rights.

I find this interesting as I was shot down almost as soon as I sat down for a consultation. The first thing I was greeted with was.... "you need to go to Kansas to find a lawyer". After getting the lady to actually read the court order she corrected herself and said that there are things that can be done. Mid conversation she was confused with basic math. First being the issues with my child support (which I know is and in itself an issue, but understanding that they are based on fraud... someone cannot work for $10 and hour, work 20 hours a week and make less than $266 a month... Secondly when the lady stated the retainer would be twenty two hundred. For the sake of clarification I stated two thousand two hundred? Her reply was "NO IT IS TWENTY TWO HUNDRED!" And then started repeating that out loud finishing by stating that it would go up to twenty five hundred.

Does this mean that the fee changes based on ones ability to know basic terms and math? I hate to say it, but this is proof that it does.
I know it's not easy, and things are not cookie cutter like most other areas of law... but this is the general issue with family law. and to make judgement before even reading what the order was... well that's the sign of a "Give me your non-refundable retainer... and we'll play around until something happens/the client runs out of money" approach. Perhaps I am wrong, and I would like to be, but if you cannot get basic knowledge of a case before making opinion... well that shows signs of incompetence. Family law needs less of this.

I was seeking an attorney after experiencing issues in family law court. After reading countless reviews for attorneys in the Tampa Bay area, I made the choice to retain services from Ayo and Iken. They were able to assist me with a payment plan, and my attorney, Kristal Knox, also gave me a free consultation for my first visit with her. Their office is very clean, and all of their staff is very friendly. The attorneys from this law firm are more knowledgeable than any other attorneys I have ever dealt with in the past. I was able to achieve the results I needed, and would use them in the future if need be. Ayo and Iken is the law firm I would recommend to anyone needing assistance with family law issues!

This is the best law firm I have worked with in the Tampa Bay area! I have worked with both Howard Iken and Kristal Knox and they are both great. Kristal is my current lawyer and she has been able to help me through the years with many different issues dealing with child support, alimony, visitation and other family law issues. I'm so happy I found her years ago. Although divorce isn't a blessing finding this law firm is!
