motorcycle accident

My husband was hit by someone driving under the influence on his motorcycle. Frances and her team kept us informed every step of the way between dealing with our insurance and my husband's medical insurance to dealing with the court system when it came time for a trial. Frances did a great job gettin...g my husband's medical ins to pay and also did an amazing job handling our insurance co and handling the dui court case.

Highly Recommend

I began working with Frances and her assistant, Robin Grigg after the death of my husband in January of 2017. His estate was complicated, to say the least, but Frances and Robin exuded care, compassion and professionalism every step of the way. Dealing with multiple states and counties had my head sp...inning and I called or emailed Frances and Robin many, many times, but these two women never made me feel like I was an imposition. They persisted with the case and got the job done! I would highly recommend Frances and her team.

Fantastic Results!!! I would highly recommend Frances Knox

I was on my way home from work and was involved in an automobile accident. The other driver was at fault. I sustained multiple broken bones and a completely torn ligament in my hand. Based on a referral from a family friend I made an appointment to see Frances. In that first meeting I could tell ...she really cared and empathized in what I was going through. She is very down to earth and professional. Frances kept me completely involved and updated. She was always available if I needed to talk to her and responded to all my emails. The whole experience was so much easier on me because of Frances and her amazing paralegal “Angie". They took care of absolutely everything. So, I could focus on what was important to me, Healing and Recovery. I would highly recommend and would use them again if the need arises.

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.

Spectacular

Frances handled an accident case for me and my husband. Frances consistently kept us aware and alert to any and all changes over a long and involved case. She is truly compassionate, intelligent & honest. She took what was a nightmare for my family and made me feel extremely confident in her hands. I... am very pleased with how all aspects were handled. I will recommend Frances as often as possible.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
