THANKING GOD FOR FRANCES KNOX !

Mrs. Frances S. Knox helped us navigate the Medicare and Medicare Advantage Plan rules and procedures, and believe me you NEED her to sort out your medical bills and proper re-payments from your personal injury settlement. We were rear-ended in 2013 Memorial Day traffic , and were overwhelmed by dea...ling with two auto insurance companies, hospitals and doctors in two states, and the medical payors listed above. We foolishly tried to do it on our own for nearly 10 months, and if we had it to do again we would have immediately called Frances. Two different friends recommended her representation, and we are so grateful!! At our initial meeting, she told us to not worry, because that is her job! We were encouraged to turn everything over to her, and concentrate on healing. I know I started to sleep more soundly that same night. While I was not at fault in the accident, and did not need hospitalization, my husband ended up in Intensive Care in SC. There are different traffic laws, medical billing, and insurance regulations in various states; so we quickly found out we were NOT being treated "Like a Good Neighbor", by our own insurance company. Frances was able to interpret the rules, and negotiate a fair settlement in a confident manner. A FEW TIPS: PHOTOGRAPH EVERYTHING; the accident site, the vehicle from every angle, the physical injuries at the time of the wreck, including inside the treatment room if possible. Bruises fade; tubes and monitors are taken away; while you are still suffering. After awhile, you may need to refresh your memory to help determine compensation for the full extent of trauma you experienced. SAVE EVERYTHING related to your accident; keep a notepad nearby to document calls. Bills and letters sent in the mail, including postmark dates, may be useful to your time line. BE REALISTIC about your monetary expectations. Frances knows what to ask for, and will carefully explain where every penny is allocated. She will not compromise her personal or professional ethics. A big Thank You also to Deirdre Gonzales, Paralegal to Mrs. Knox, for helping keep us informed along the way.

Excellent Legal Representation

I have retained Frances on four occasions and she has always provided excellent legal services. Frances has an excellent professional demeanor and provides informative updates as I have proceeded through the litigation process. I highly recommend Frances and her staff to others that need competent ...legal representation.

Best Decision I Ever Made

My brother was killed in a car accident. This was a great loss for my family. Frances took us by the hand and led us through the entire process. She even helped us understand the criminal aspect. Very knowledgable, trustworthy and always there. I feel that during a terrible time in our lives my famil...y and I gained a wonderful friend.

I highly recommend Frances Knox

I sought Frances's help after a motor vehicle accident. The circumstances were awful but she really seemed to know the best course of action for my case. She worked tirelessly to reach the best, strongest settlement and was very knowledgeable along the way. She and her staff always responded to my qu...estions and concerns quickly and honestly. I am so thankful that I had Frances on my side after my accident. I would highly recommend Frances for representation in personal injury cases in the Charlotte metro area. She really is the best of the best.

If you are looking for integrity and experience, look no further.....

I first had the pleasure of working with Frances many years ago when I was in my early 20's. I had a string of bad luck and was involved in at least two car accidents. In one of those accidents, the other individual was adamant that I was to blame for the incident. Based on my experience with Fran...ces in my first accident, I literally left the scene of the second accident and drove straight to Frances’ office because I was so upset and wanted to tell her everything while it was fresh in my mind. She made herself available that day and handled the case to my complete satisfaction. For many years, I had no need for a personal injury attorney but always kept Frances in mind…. Fast forward 20 years. My teenaged daughter, Amber, is involved in a car accident where she sustained minor injuries. I decide to handle the case myself and deal with the insurance company. We go round and round regarding the medical bills. They finally pay all outstanding bills and it’s time to discuss Amber’s settlement. I reach out to Frances and meet with her to discuss all of the particulars. Unlike some of the ambulance chasers out there, I never received any marketing materials from Frances and when we met, she didn’t immediately jump at the opportunity to make a few dollars off of my daughter’s small case. Instead what I got was a sit down conversation that was much like meeting with a personal friend of mine who just happened to be an attorney. Turns out Frances advised me that I was far enough along in handling things myself that it was best for me to proceed on my current track. She educated me on the laws applicable to my case and what my next steps should be on behalf of my child. I left there feeling confident and drafted the appropriate letter using the key terminology per my guidance from Frances. The case is not fully settled but I am making strides in the right direction to have it wrapped up in just a few weeks. I would advise anyone looking for an attorney who is experienced, honest and truly cares about her clients and her reputation to reach out to Frances. Though being an attorney is her career of choice and how she is financially able to take care of herself and her family; at the end of the day, Frances Knox is about people and doing what’s right over doing whatever it takes to make a dollar. I for one, can appreciate that…..
