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…..

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!

Trustworthy attorney

Frances was with me every step of the way after I had a terrible accident. She kept me informed, and guided me. She answered all my questions on my case, and if she didn't know, she got back to me promptly.
