OUR ATTORNEYS
H. Edward Knox
FOUNDER - KNOX LAW CENTER
Tel: 704-372-1360
I am the senior managing partner of Knox Law Center. I am a Board Certified Trial Specialist with the National Board of Trial Advocacy. I was chosen by North Carolina attorneys and recognized by Business North Carolina magazine as a Legal Elite in 2003, 2005, and 2006. I have an AV rating by Martindale-Hubbell, which is a “very high to preeminent” rating among my peers. I am also the recipient of the Super Lawyers Award for 2006 – 2015. In 2008, I was inducted into the General Practice Hall of Fame by the North Carolina Bar Association.
Allen C. Brotherton
PARTNER - KNOX LAW CENTER
Tel: 704-372-1360
Growing up in rural Lincoln County, Allen was blessed with a brilliant analytical mind and won a full ride to UNC as a Morehead Scholar, including summer programs in business and law. Instead of cashing in, he decided to use those blessings to help people who are in trouble.
“I really care about my clients” says Allen. “Most have a legitimate story to be told but are up against the government or powerful insurance companies. My job is to know the law and the evidence inside-and-out, come up with a winning strategy, and use it to convince the judge or jury.”
Frances S. Knox
PARTNER - KNOX LAW CENTER
Tel: 704-372-1360
I specialize in representing those who have suffered personal injuries from motor vehicle accidents. I fight vigorously for my clients who have been involved in accidents and suffered personal injuries and general damages. I take special interest in each and every injury claim, and without hesitation, expect insurance companies to do the same, in order to make certain you receive all of the compensation to which you are entitled.
Heather Piercy
ATTORNEY - KNOX LAW CENTER
Tel: 704-372-1360
I am an associate with this firm who focuses my practice on workers’ compensation cases. I am passionate about workers’ compensation cases because I believe that injured employees deserve protection and justice. I also regularly handle personal injury and other civil litigation matters. I have been with the firm for more than four years, and I work on a team with H. Edward “Eddie” Knox, our managing partner.

I joined the firm in 2020 and since then I have been serving clients with needs in both criminal and civil litigation. I was born and raised in the Charlotte area, growing up in Mecklenburg and Lincoln counties.
“From an early age, I was able to see how the attorneys at Knox Law Center used their skills to help people. I’m inspired and determined to do the same in my career.”

Why Choose Knox Law?

When you visit our office as a new client, we will not evaluate your case from a form. We prefer to take the time to talk to our clients and greet them personally. Since our clients are often friends, neighbors and family members of other satisfied clients, it only seems right to treat them as such friends.

Experienced Charlotte attorneys ready to work for you
Personal Injury
No accident is ever handled the same way. There are never any dumb questions when you walk in our doors. We know the law, but we know that our clients may not know all the ins and outs of what happens when you are in an accident.
Criminal Defense
At the Knox Law Center, our criminal defense attorneys work to tip the scales of justice in our clients’ favor. We use innovative legal strategies to protect our clients’ rights and minimize the impact of a criminal charge.
Family Law
Our lawyers work with our clients to equitably resolve divorce disputes and related issues. Many cases require the litigation of the issues related to separation in a courtroom. Others, however, can be resolved outside of the courtroom and are more expeditiously resolved by way of mediation or arbitration.
Wills & Estate Planning
Whether you are starting a family, growing a business, going through a divorce or approaching retirement, your estate plan needs to reflect your goals. At the Knox Law Center, our lawyers understand how changes in your life affect estate planning. They are also prepared to help you through complex estate planning litigation.
Worker's Compensation
If you have been recently injured at work, this may be the first time you have had to deal with North Carolina’s complex workers’ compensation system. The insurance companies that provide this coverage can take advantage of your inexperience. Many people who have valid injury claims do not receive all of the workers’ compensation benefits they deserve because they did not know the rules.
Business Law
When choosing a law firm to handle your business legal matter, experience should be a top priority. At the Knox Law Center in Charlotte and Denver, North Carolina, our attorneys have a combined 60 years of legal experience. We can help you resolve your matter efficiently and effectively.
