Expertise: Criminal Defence, Supervisor of Criminal Defence Service Contract (CDS)

Member of: Southampton Magistrates Court and Police Station Duty Solicitor Scheme,

Work and Clients: Chris set up the practice of Knight & Co in February 1984 as a sole practitioner. Over the years the firm has grown to the existing firm of Knight Polson with 3 offices and 5 Partners. Chris has always specialised as a Criminal Lawyer, although for many years he also advised on Family and General Litigation matters.
Before qualifying as a Solicitor in 1980 Chris’ jobs included working as a New York Taxi driver, a bricklayer, and, it is said, that he was also quite good behind the bar! No doubt this helps Chris to relate to many of his Clients..

What do clients say?
'very professional, helpful and reassuring and always have clients best interests at all times'
'due to the excellent service I received I would not hesitate to recommend Knight and Co'
'Chris Knight has been a personal friend for many tears. His firm has always been first choice and always given excellent service to my family.'

Outside work: When he is not defending his Clients, Chris enjoys playing hockey, walking, skiing and the less energetic activities of watching Rugby or completing a Sudoku.
