The best!

Thank you to Bill Knox and to his amazing team! We hired him to defend our son on trumped up felony charges for which they wanted to give him 10 years in prison for violation of probation. Bill was very understanding and reassuring from the start. He told us our son would not do any time. He was t...rue to his word no time in prison . Bill was available any time. He returned all of my calls and there many call! His staff was always helpful and courteous. I will recommend his services in the future.

Choose the best or get left in a mess!!! THANKS BILL

Well I received my charge and pronation in 2009, and by 2011 I hired Bill to represent me, on probation violations, I wish I had from the jump, as he informed me my agg assault with deadly weapon should have been dropped to a lesser charge, he got me reinstated MORE THAN ONCE, HE ALSO got me out of d...allas county for 3 days for my father's funeral, this man got me A BOND EVERY TIME I WENT to jail on a PROBATION VIOLATION.. HE KNOWS THE LAW, FORWARD AND BACKWARD, and if it's something he has not heard he WILL RESEARCH IT become familiar with it and take proper action.. he tells you exactly what he can do and what he thinks is possible you will not hear him say I CANT, OR NOT POSSIBLE, HE FIGHTS FOR HIS CLIENT..he will honestly give u the best advice as your legal advisor, he is well known in Frank Crawley court house. I ended up messing up running for years and really was just OVER probation, went in told my judge I want to be done with this case, he said are u obtaining mr. Knox or your ready today, I told him I'm ready, I BELIEVE JUST ON THE STRENGTH THAT HE WAS MY ATTORNEY I RECEIVED A LITTLE BREAK... YEA HES A LITTLE COSTLY, YOU WANT THE BEST U PAY FOR IT!!! Whats your freedom WORTH, forget that WHATS YOUR LIFE WORTH... I WILL RECOMMEND HIM FOREVER, AND USE HIM UNTIL HE NO LONGER PRATICE!!!

The best attorney In Dallas

I contacted Mr. Knox after I had been going to court for almost a year with no resolution. My court appointed attorney was advising me that I would be sentenced to 20 months in state jail. I contacted Mr. Knox and explained my case, he asked me to give him a day and he would call me back. I honestly ...wasnt expecting to hear back from him because I had no reason to believe that he would be able to make the 20 months jail sentence go away. After a few days he called me back and agreed to take my case. From the very beginning he assured me that I would not be getting any jail time, I had been told for almost a year that the 20 months state jail sentence wasnt going anywhere, so I was a little afraid to trust Mr. Knox. I am so grateful for all of his help, he called me with a update on my case almost weekly, he is always easy to reach day or night. To make a long story short, I was facing 20 months in jail for a felony fraud case in Dallas County, and Mr. Knox was able to get me probation as he told me he would do from the time I hired him. I would definitely recommend his law office for anyone who is facing jail time. Im so grateful for all he was able to do for me, Im now able to go on with my life without the fear of going to jail. Thank you so much !!!!!

Absolutely the BEST!!!

All I can say is WOW! Bill Knox made the impossible possible! I have a not so pretty criminal record and with a new probation violation, I was assured by Mr. Knox and his staff if I turned myself in and did the right thing he would make sure I was back home and sleeping in my own bed that same night...! I was very nervous and unsure but he and his staff put my mind at ease and gave me the comfort I needed to be confident in his abilities and he was true to his word. By far this man is the best of the BEST! I will recommend him to any and everyone I know in need of legal counsel. I felt hopeless when I walked into his office last Saturday by the time I left I felt I had someone who was going to fight for me and get me through this. BEST decision I ever made. Here we are not even a week after meeting in his office and I'm home and free! I don't have to look over my shoulder anymore and I can get on with my life and get busy living again! I Thank you and my family thanks you Mr. Bill Knox! You truly are the BEST! God bless you

A Lawyer you can trust

My wife was arrested while I was deployed to Iraq. Bill Knox worked hard to get my wife’s case thrown out of court before it went to trial. Although some lawyers try to take the easy route by recommending deals with the DA that require community service, Bill and his staff believed in my wife’s inn...ocence and did not recommend us pursuing any deals. My family is grateful for the efforts that he and his staff gave to us. As arrests are something that are unplanned and can happen to anyone, I would trust Bill and his staff to assist my family again (if needed). -Danny Zaidle
