Kenyetta Knight is an Alabama native who brings more than 23 years of legal experience to her practice. She began her career as a law librarian and Westlaw trainer before joining the Hollis Wright team in 2004. Starting as a receptionist, she advanced to a legal secretary and ultimately senior litigation paralegal role, which she held for approximately 20 years. This career path has given her a comprehensive understanding of the legal process, the complexities of litigation, and the importance of attentive client service. Drawing on decades of experience working alongside attorneys and supporting litigation, Kenyetta approaches her practice with a practical perspective, meticulous attention to detail, and compassion for clients facing life-changing circumstances.

Kenyetta earned her undergraduate degree in Political Science, with a minor in Business Administration, from Berea College, where she was named to the National Dean's List. She also studied East Asian Relations at Keimyung University in Daegu, South Korea. Kenyetta brings a global perspective and an appreciation for diverse cultures to her work. Her experience as a judicial intern for the Honorable Gino Brogdon, Sr., further strengthened her understanding of the judicial process.

Beyond her legal practice, Kenyetta is deeply committed to community service and philanthropy. She was honored with a service award from the Women's Lawyers Section of the Birmingham Bar Association in recognition of her contributions. Her community involvement includes serving her church, mentoring young people, volunteering with food banks and pantries, building homes through Habitat for Humanity, and supporting charitable initiatives for cancer survivors. Guided by compassion, perseverance, and a commitment to service, Kenyetta recognizes that every legal matter involves a person whose story, family, and future deserves care and consideration.

Kenyetta resides in Trussville, Alabama. Outside of her practice, she enjoys spending time with family and friends, playing board games, attending live theater and music performances, and fishing.

Her personal motto reflects the values she brings to her work and community: "Let my work speak through the lives I touch."

Client Reviews

★★★★★
"I, along with dad and family, want to thank your law firm for all that you did for us in representing my dad in his case. We were very satisfied with the settlement and the overall efforts by your firm. We also think that you and your staff made the process seem calm and smooth, yet professional. We could not have asked for a better attorney -- we would recommend you and your firm to anyone needing your expertise. Thanks so much for everything!!!" D. Hayes and C. Griffin, Clay County, AL
★★★★★
"Mr. Clay, I want to express my gratitude to you for agreeing to take my case. I know that I contacted your law firm with a fast approaching statute of limitations and some really significant challenges in proving my case. Thanks for the time, work, research and energy that you put into my case and for helping achieve a successful outcome. Peace and blessings to you and your family." V. Daniel, Philadelphia, PA
★★★★★
"The team at Hollis Wright were there for my husband when no one else would take his case. Not only did he work hard and recover money that we were owed. Without the help of Hollis Wright, we couldn't have afforded the care my husband needed and I would have lost him much sooner. We'll always consider you a part of the family." Donna B. Jemison, AL
