Frances S. Knox
Frances Knox received her Juris Doctorate from Wake Forest School of Law, after graduating summa cum laude from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, and has been with the firm for over thirty years.
Frances specializes in representing those suffering personal injuries associated with traffic accidents, nursing home negligence and medical malpractice. Her interest in these areas goes back to her law school days at Wake Forest, where she was honored with the American Jurisprudence Award for Torts and Trial Practice.
Frances is dedicated to making sure victims receive fair compensation, and that their emotional and economic problems are addressed during the settlement process. She and husband H. Edward Knox handle personal injury cases as a team. Frances and Eddie Knox have three children and seven grandchildren and are active members of Bethel Presbyterian Church in Cornelius, NC.
