Frances Knox received her juris doctorate from Wake Forest School of Law after graduating summa cum laude from the University of North Carolina and has been with the firm for over thirty years.

Frances specializes in representing those who have suffered personal injuries from motor vehicle accidents. She fights vigorously for her clients who have been involved in accidents and suffered personal injuries and general damages. She takes a special interest in each and every injury claim, and without hesitation, expects insurance companies to do the same, in order to make certain you receive all of the compensation to which you are entitled.

Frances is dedicated to making sure accident victims receive fair compensation for their injuries and general damages, and that emotional and financial problems are addressed during the settlement process. She and her husband, Edward H. Knox, take a team approach to handling personal injury cases. Frances and Eddie have three children and eight grandchildren, and are active members of Bethel Presbyterian Church in Cornelius, North Carolina .

Frances works from the firm's Charlotte office on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and from the firm's Denver office every Tuesday and Thursday.
