Posted by Matthew | October 30, 2017 | Hired Attorney

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Above and beyond

Mrs. Knox represented me in a criminal case. She went above and beyond all my expectations, made herself available not only to me but also my wife. She did this out of genuine care and concern. That's her drive, and it's refreshing and effective to obtain counsel from a person who truly is concerned ...for your family.

Amazing Lawyer

Nicole Knox has been my husband's defense attorney, and she did an amazing job. Even when he wanted to give up she kept him on track. She went above and beyond to make sure he was treated fairly. She kept me informed all the way through the process as well as my husband. She is very professional, and... aggressive. Loved having her as his attorney.

Above and Beyond

Nicole Knox went above and beyond my expectations. She was thorough, knowledgeable, patient, and attentive. Without a doubt, Nicole Knox had my best interest and outcome in handling my case. I trusted her completely, and she saw to it that my felony case was dismissed and expunged.

Quality professional attorney

I hired Ms. Knox to help me defend against a bogus felony charge. Her prices were very reasonable given the level of quality professionalism. I would highly recommend this defense attorney and believe her to be a reasonably zealous advocate. My experience is that she is also very patient and accommod...ating.

She is amazing

She is currently handling my husband's case and she is very aggressive plus she keeps me and him informed on what is going on with his case. I would recommend her to anyone. She is very straight forward and knows the law.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
