Insurance isn't Always on Your Side, but Attorney Knox is!!

I was recently involved in a motor vehicle collision. I was the passenger in a vehicle that was rear-ended by another driver. It happened on a Thursday. By Monday, I had not hear a word from either party's insurance company and I was beginning to feel like no one cared. I called Knox Law Center and w...as able to get an appointment that afternoon with Attorney Knox. Immediately, he and his assistant made me feel welcome and that they truly cared about my particular case. After getting all of the needed information regarding who, what, and where, Attorney Knox advised me of my options moving forward. I knew from the moment he shook my hand that I wanted him to represent me, and I left that day with him on my side and feeling like finally, someone cared and would fight for me. Since that day, I've had several questions, asked via email, which have been promptly answered in such a way that I understand- not just "lawyer speak." I HIGHLY recommend Knox Law Center and especially Attorney Knox! If you've been in a collision, do not wait! Call them and get representation by some of THE BEST in the area!! You won't regret it!

"A Legal Genius with a Lion's Heart"

“When I came into a situation where I found myself needing legal counsel to represent myself and my two small children, I wasn’t certain where to start. I began researching on the internet, and asking around via coworkers and friends. I was so fearful as this case involved protecting my kids, and as ...most parents can attest, there is nothing more precious. I needed the best and wouldn’t settle for anything less. I didn’t have a lot of money, but wasn’t going to settle for someone that wouldn’t put our best interests at heart. I went on numerous interviews with other attorneys and walked out with a bad taste in my mouth. I came across Eddie Knox on line and read about him, his history, and experience both as a politician and a trial attorney. I was impressed to say the least. I asked around Charlotte and didn’t find one person from civilians, to police officers and fellow attorneys that didn’t sing his praises. I wrote him an email and within 30 minutes received a response. Eddie doesn’t like injustice and he will fight for you like you like your life is on the line. Everything you read about him doesn’t even touch the kind of man and legal mind that he is when you meet him in person. He worked to settle my case out of court as he truly wants what’s best. We ended up having to go court and I literally sat there in awe at how this man fought like he was trying a huge corporate case when I am just a single Mom trying to get by. He puts so much time and research into a case and doesn’t leave a stone unturned. You won’t walk away thinking he missed a beat. You really are safe in his care and his support staff is all top notch and is trained to follow in his footsteps. His entire firm is run with integrity and everyone you deal with treats you like you are a Million Dollar Client. You will not get nickel and dimed and they will work with you no matter your need. Eddie treats you the way he would treat his own family. His mind is amazing, he a genius and he is a sharp as it gets. Not to mention that you will feel like a better person from having met him. I wouldn’t want to have a lawsuit and have him be the opposing counsel. All of the lawyers are the best in their field, and no matter what you need, you will find it there. Eddie has set the tone at Knox, Brotherton, Knox and Godfrey and it is incredibly apparent the way that firm is run. If you have large Corporation, are facing a Criminal Case, Family Law, or truly anything that you need to have legal protection I highly recommend this firm and Eddie Knox.”

"One of the brighest attorneys in the State - great mentor and partner. No client issues are ever too big or too small to get his attention and engage him in finding the best solutions. Eddie works long, hard hours every week to make sure his clients are well represented and his co-workers stay well versed and up-to-date on legal issues. He has received every legal award that can be given in our State. Awards are nice, but the satisfaction he gets from helping is his best reward."
