Posted by Kristen | January 23, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Wrongful Death

Life lawyer

We hired Frances and her team to assist us with handling matters related to the tragic death of my sister from a car wreck. It was a very confusing time and honestly without Frances we would have been lost in the mountain of things to address, people to contact and conversations that needed to happen... with insurance people. She looked out for our interests and shielded us from this side of things.

No one better

I met Frances Knox in 2009 after my son passed from an automobile accident. She was warm, compassionate, and instantly gained my trust. She also represented me in a car accident a few years later and made sure my needs were met and a proper settlement was achieved. I can't say enough good things abou...t Frances.

Personal Injury & wrongful Death

My husband & I were in a serious motor vehicle accident which resulted in his death. I was also injured. I realized the first week I needed an attorney but didn't know who to call. My sister searched online in the early morning hours. After reading the profile & numerous 5 star reviews for France...s Knox, she sent an email. Frances called by 8:00 that Sun morning agreeing to meet us at the hospital that afternoon. Through her kindness to me & her vast knowledge, experience & professional expertise I was better able to cope with a very difficult time. Frances made herself available to me anytime I had questions. I felt as though the stress was transferred from my shoulders to hers. She deeply cared for my welfare leaving no stone unturned doing all she could in my best interest. Frances worked tirelessly & sacrificially ever mindful that I wasn't just another client, but always remembering the hurt & loss I suffered. I highly recommend Frances Knox. She has a great team working with her & she will go the extra mile for you to obtain the best possible outcome.

The Best Decision You'll Ever Make

Frances is hands down the best choice I made. I've used her for two seperate issues and had a wonderful experience both times. First used her when my brother was killed in a car accident. Frances helped my family so much and still checks on us all. To say she uses a personal touch in an understament.... When I needed advice on another matter it was first instict to contact her.

The woman, the lawyer, the friend

In my first meeting with Frances, Ed and her assistants, I was a zombie. My husband and friend for 30 years had just been killed in an awful and tragic wreck by a impaired driver. My heart was broken and I was very angry. From the first moment I met her, she was strong and very giving in her time ...and advice. She walked me through the whole process and offered me time to talk about our life and love. I would look into her eyes and see that she really did care. I don't know if I could of made it through the court trial of this man who killed my husband, much less if I had to go to court for the lawsuit if she had not been there for me. She dealt with a lot of things because my husband and I had not made out a will. It is very tricky in NC. I could not have asked for anyone to be any more diligent about the work or thoughtful of my feelings, all in one package.
