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.

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

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.

I have been practicing law since 1989, and am well-known for serving as a district court judge in Cabarrus County from 2000 to 2010.

I have now returned to the private sector representing clients in domestic, criminal, juvenile, and personal injury cases in both Mecklenburg and Cabarrus Counties. I am also a certified Superior Court Mediator and Family Financial Mediator.

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.
