Best Lawyer in the Area, for sure!

Frances and her team are a pleasure to work with. Years ago, they handled our wills, POAs, and healthcare directives, and most recently, they helped us through a personal injury case. They consistently go above and beyond to support their clients during difficult times.

Wrongful Death Case

I was so fortunate to have Mrs. Knox represent my family. She is so compassionate, knowledgeable, and self-reliant. She worked within the firm, with Alan Brotherton, Gray Brotherton, Rhonda, and Robin to bring some peace for my family. I do highly recommend her and the entire law firm for all legal... matters. She will definitely get the job done to your benefit.

Great attorney and staff

Frances and Rhonda are absolutely amazing. I was in a car accident a year ago. They have gone above and beyond to get the all the bills paid that were associated with the accident. My settlement is final a year later. Rhonda and Frances never gave up during the whole year, even when the other person’...s insurance was giving them a hard time. They have served myself and my family on several occasions and have always had great service on each of these occasions. They are the best around. Will not use anyone else!!! Thank you guys for everything!

Experienced, Friendly, Professional!

When I called the office to ask for assistance creating a Will, I was kindly greeted and given a convenient appointment. When my husband and I met with Frances, we immediately felt comfortable, and could tell we were in good hands. She asked important questions in a clear and respectful manner, and h...andled all of our questions the same way. Within the week, we received an email containing drafts of our documents for our review. We then made an appointment to sign them after any needed changes were made or further questions were answered. Frances also shared tips and recommendations for keeping documents organized and ensuring all related matters were addressed, which was needed and very helpful. Overall a great experience! Thank you Frances!

Excellent Lawyer and Advisor

My husband and I reached out to Frances Knox at Knox Law Center to ask about getting wills and other important documents created. They were quickly and professionally made and sent to us for review. After reviewing, we were promptly given an appointment to come sign our documents. We were treated li...ke family, as if they'd known us for years. It was a great experience and I highly recommend Frances and the entire staff.

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.
