Best PI Attorney

Mrs. Knox helped me with a bad car accident I was in about a year ago. She made the whole process easy and all I had to do is let her know what doctors i went to and she did the ever thin else. I received a pretty good settlement in under a year.

Amazing Lawyer!

I highly recommend Francis and her team to any and everyone. They care for you like family and they always try to get the most back for you. I have never had a lawyer before and was scared to get one, however Francis made my life so much simpler by taking my case and getting me back an amount that wi...ll help me pay for my college. I did get worried there for a bit thought not gonna lie, I thought that I was never going to get this settled. I would email Kenni her paralegal almost every few days if not everyday to see where things stood. Had it not been for Francis and her wonderful team at Knox, Brotherton, Knox and Godfrey I would not have been granted any money. She took her time to shake them up and then made them give me the fair amount I deserved. If I ever need another lawyer Francis and her team are first on my list. I will recommend her to all my family and friends, because even though she is a lawyer she is the most kind, caring, and decent lawyer I have ever met. I plan on keeping in touch with them over the years because when they take on your case they treat you like family and no one forgets about their family. I hope that you all give Francis a chance because you will NOT regret picking her for your lawyer. I hope that with you reading this review that you can clearly see that Francis Knox is the right choice for you. I thank her and her team from the bottom of my heart and will always remember what they did for me.

Attentive, Caring and Professional!

It all started with a car accident only weeks before the winter holidays! A couple of days after the accident, I spoke with a couple of close friends of mine and they recommended that I ring Frances. Frances was easily reachable, very forthcoming about her experience with cases like mine, and ver...y flexible with scheduling meetings and reviews! She quickly began the case and explained the contract point-by-point before we moved forward. Over the course of the next several months, Frances and her staff kept me updated on her progress and made sure my expectations were in line with the many possible outcomes. She worked hard to build the best case for me and in the end the outcome was as expected. I always felt at the top of her list, as she was very responsive to all of my calls and emails. I would recommend Frances to anyone who needs an advocate in their corner!

Excellent attorney and assistant

From the first moment I hired Frances Knox, I could breathe a sign of relief. She took care of everything after my serious car accident, and made me feel at ease. I had no idea how to handle the insurance companies and felt pressured to make decisions. Frances Knox came in and told me not to worry... about anything. Her and her assistant Kenni Setzer were the best and kept me up to date on my case each step of the way. I was definitely satisfied with the outcome and settlement. I would definitely recommend Frances Knox!

Excellent Law Firm

Frances handled my diminished value claim on my new vehicle that someone rear ended. She dealt with their insurance company so that I could devote my time to other things. I would highly recommend her and her law firm, they are truly exceptional.
