Personal Injury at a Rental Property

I was referred to Frances by a family member for a personal injury I received while on vacation at a rental home. This was my first experience with anything of this nature so Frances and her firm were great guiding me thru the process and setting proper expectations. My case remained open for 2 yea...rs while I went thru the process of going to multiple doctors, specialists, and thru the negotiation process with the homeowners insurance company. We winded up settling my case and I was happy with the results. Without Frances and her team I feel that I would have settled this case far too early leaving a significant amount of money on the table. I would highly recommend Frances and the Knox firm for any needs and would use them again if needed.

Car Accident

She was professional,but what seemed a friend at the same time. She did a great job for us. My wife ,daughter,and I were involved in a crash, not our fault. We had bruises and some broken bones. We consulted and she took the case. There were two other vehicles involved which in turn was two other ins...urances involved. I was having a hard time getting them to contact me. I saw the reviews on Francis and let her take over. I DID NOT REGRET IT. It took a little while and some patience but we are getting settle. I would recommend her highly. She and her staff are good at what they do. Thank you to all of them.

Best Attorney Ever

I would like to say that being in the legal profession, I have had the opportunity to work with several attorneys. When I needed one myself for a personal issue, I reached out to Frances and I must say she has been by far the most personal and caring attorney I have ever known. Frances took my cas...e and ran with it, she showed genuine concern for me and I knew that she had my best interest at heart over anything else. Frances went above and beyond and continued to check on me and my well being throughout the process and kept me informed on every aspect of my case. She fought for me and came out with a better result than I could have ever expected. I have been so blessed to have Frances as my attorney, she is a true professional with heart and generosity. Thank you Frances for all you have done for me!! I consider you a true friend not just my attorney.

Highly recommended

Frances Knox and her staff were wonderful to work with. They were always accessible and were kind, down to earth and easy to work with. My case was complicated as it involved multiple parties in multiple states. In the end Ms. Knox was able to negotiate with these parties and work out an agreem...ent. I am thankful for her guidance and for not requiring me to be overly involved. I was able to focus on what I needed to and trust that I was in good hands. Her group is professional and I highly recommend them.

Highly Recommended!

Frances represented me in a personal injury auto accident case. This is the first time in my 46 years I've had to enlist the aid of a lawyer for anything other than a minor traffic violation, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Frances, who is very intelligent, honest, and compassionate, consistently ke...pt me informed of the status of my case and made sure I fully understood the process and legal jargon and ultimately ensured a proper and fair settlement was achieved. I was seriously ill during most of the process of this case and in addition to her professionalism as a lawyer, she was also very personally caring and showed genuine concern for my health and encouragement for my recovery process. She even gave me a hug! She is a great person and a great lawyer - I just can't say enough good things about Frances and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking legal aid or services.
