The BEST

James Knox is an excellent lawyer. He knows when to wait to see what may happen but also knows when it's time to pull the trigger. I would highly recommend James Knox to represent anyone because he cares and he has a heart of gold. I know I was blessed to have Mr. Knox's as my attorney.

Accessible, Accountable, Awesome!

Quite simply, James Craig Knox, saved lives during his tenure as our son's attorney. James attended to immediate legal issues while being mindful of how their resolution would impact our legal process further down the road. James has an attention to detail and will follow up on the questions that ...need answers. During our case preparation, trial and beyond, he was consistently right there for us, returning phone calls the same day. James often spent evening and weekend hours calling us to clarify legal matters when we were feeling uneasy with the case. As a result of his hard work, a youngster was saved from a precarious home situation, our son got some justice from the justice system and we got our lives back. This man has integrity beyond words. GOD BLESS YOU SIR

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
