Joseph Knape
Board-Eligible Family Law Attorney
An Attorney Who Fights for Your Future
Joseph Knape is an Orlando-based family law attorney with more than 15 years of courtroom and negotiation experience. He founded Divorce Law FL with a single purpose: to give Central Florida families the aggressive, knowledgeable legal representation they deserve during the most difficult moments of their lives.
Joseph earned his law degree and was admitted to the Florida Bar in 2009. Since then, he has dedicated his entire practice exclusively to family law — divorce, child custody, child support, property division, paternity, domestic violence injunctions, prenuptial agreements, and more. His singular focus means he stays current on every change in Florida family law statutes and case precedent, giving clients a meaningful advantage.
Clients describe Joseph as direct, prepared, and relentless. He is known for his ability to handle high-conflict divorces and complex financial cases involving business interests, investment portfolios, and real estate holdings. Whether negotiating a settlement or litigating before a judge, Joseph brings the same intensity and preparation to every case.
Joseph practices out of his Orlando office at 21 Park Lake St., serving clients throughout Orange, Osceola, Seminole, Lake, Volusia, and Brevard counties. He is available by appointment and offers paid consultations designed to give you a clear picture of your legal position and a realistic strategy from day one.
How Joseph Works
Paid Consultations — Real Strategy
Joseph charges for consultations because your time and his are valuable. A paid consultation means you leave with an honest assessment of your case, a clear legal strategy, and no sales pitch — just facts and a plan.
Aggressive Advocacy
Joseph does not shy away from the courtroom. When opposing counsel or the other party refuses to be reasonable, he is fully prepared to litigate — and to win. He treats every case as if it will go to trial.
Selective Caseload
Joseph intentionally limits the number of cases he takes at any one time. This means your calls are returned, your deadlines are met, and your case never gets lost in a pile. You get the attorney, not a paralegal.
Transparent Communication
You will always know where your case stands. Joseph provides honest, direct updates — even when the news is difficult. Clients are never left wondering what is happening with their matter.
