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.
I was a Babcock Scholar and received my juris doctorate at Wake Forest Law School. I graduated from North Carolina State University as the Most Distinguished Graduate in the School of Education. I served as President of both the Law School Student Body and the N.C. State Student Body.
I have also served as chairman of numerous state commissions and local community organizations, including roles as a State Senator as well as Mayor of Charlotte, NC.
My active practice includes trial work in the area of personal injury, workers’ compensation and condemnation. I and my wife, fellow attorney Frances S. Knox, try personal injury cases as a team.
I have handled hundreds of automobile and motorcycle accidents, a number of malpractice claims, as well as workers compensation claims. These experiences give me a wealth of knowledge in how cases should be presented.
I love golf and am the owner/developer of Verdict Ridge Golf and Country Club, www.verdictridge.com, located just north of Charlotte in Denver, NC. Frances and I have three children and eight grandchildren, and are active members of Bethel Presbyterian Church in Cornelius, NC. I am also a member of “Witness”, a southern gospel quartet.
