Practice Areas

Additional Practice Areas: Rental Car Damage, Alienation of Affection

Practice Areas Description

- Personal Injury

At the Knox Law Center we know what it is like to have your car wrecked and suffer from car accident injuries:

You can’t get an accident report
No one from any insurance company calls you
Your family is hurt
You are in the hospital
You cannot get a paycheck
Daily storage fees for your car are piling up
Your bills are due

The insurance company calls and tells you they are still investigating the accident and have not determined liability.

- Motorcycle Accident

Motorcycle accident victims may require a different type of legal assistance than the victims of other types of car accidents. Unlike car accident victims, motorcycle riders cannot get Medical Pay Benefits from their own insurance companies to help pay medical bills after a motorcycle crash.

- Truck Accident

One of our recent truck accident cases provides a telling example of how insurance companies view the victims. In this case, the truck driver fell asleep and ran into the back of our client's car, seriously injuring him and killing a family member who was a passenger. The trucking company's insurance adjustor arrived to the scene soon after the accident and, upon learning there was a fatality, uttered an expletive, went to his car and started making phone calls.

- 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 Divorce

At the Knox Law Center, we are committed to helping our clients handle the legal, financial and emotional aspects of complicated family law cases. Whether resolving property division issues, negotiating child custody and visitation agreements, or handling another family law matter, we work to find solutions that accomplish our clients' goals. We recognize that the outcome of a family law case can affect our clients financially and emotionally for years or even decades.

- 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.

- Construction Law

North Carolina construction contractors often rely on the experienced legal guidance of the construction contract negotiation attorneys of the Knox Law Center. We have a great deal of experience working with contractors and understand the situations that come with construction and development projects.

- Civil Litigation

We apply the right combination of creativity, hard work, and commitment to all civil litigation matters. Our attorneys are responsive, efficient, and effective. Satisfied clients refer their friends, neighbors, and colleagues to us.

- Car Accident

If you have been injured in a car accident in North Carolina, you should not talk to any insurance company other than your own. The opposing insurance company's goal is to minimize it's payout to you. One way they try to accomplish this goal is by quickly getting you to make a statement that will damage your case.

- Rental Car Damage

After any car accident — from a minor fender bender to a major crash — one of the first questions is: How am I going to get around? What do I do about fixing or replacing my car?

- Car Accident

If you are hurt in an accident, the last thing you ever want to think about is that the person that hit you may not have insurance or may not have enough insurance. Most of us believe that we are hit and the other side will immediately come to our rescue to take care of our needs that they caused. What happens when you hear “I’m sorry, our customer’s insurance has lapsed” or “I’m sorry, our customer only carried minimum limits.”

- Medical Malpractice

If you or a loved one has been injured by a medical provider or nursing home in North Carolina, getting answers to your questions can be difficult. Doctors and medical facilities bury their mistakes - sometimes under a mound of paperwork and sometimes literally.

- Workers' 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.

- Wrongful Death

A close family member's untimely death is a shocking and life-altering event. The surviving family members must handle family and financial issues in the immediate aftermath and also cope with the emotional impact that accompanies the loss of a loved one in a fatal accident.

- Traffic Ticket Defense

The need to drive is almost universal; even a minor traffic ticket can be a major problem. In North Carolina, depending on the type of offense and your prior record, a traffic violation can result in an increase in your auto insurance premiums, a criminal record, revocation of your driver license, and even jail time.

- DWI Defense

If you are accused of drunk driving (known in North Carolina as driving while impaired or "DWI"), make no mistake; this is a very serious criminal charge with potentially harsh and long-lasting consequences. Our DUI/DWI defense lawyers recognize this and will search for every possible angle to defend you.

- DUI & Traffic Violation

For most people, driving is a way of life. It is their main source of transportation to and from work, to school, grocery shopping and to other daily activities. Driver's license suspension or revocation can have a significant effect on all aspects of their life.

- Divorce

Divorce cases typically involve numerous issues that the spouses must resolve before they can finalize their separation. Those issues may include child custody, child support, equitable distribution of marital assets and debts, alimony and post-separation support.

- Child Custody Support

Unlike other types of divorce issues, there is no clear winner in a child custody dispute. Divorced parents with minor children will continue to be tied to one another long after the divorce judgment has been entered. If the parents end up damaging their ability to communicate with each other about issues concerning their children, then the future will be more difficult for both of them - and for their children.

- Domestic Violence

Family law cases involving domestic violence are among the most serious issues we deal with at the Knox Law Center. When our clients or their children are being abused, we take immediate action to help protect them from any future harm. Similarly, however, a false accusation of abuse can have serious repercussions on the outcome of a divorce case and in day-to-day life. We offer legal help our clients need to get through this difficult time.

- Alienation of Affection

North Carolina is one of the few states in the union that allows a person to file lawsuits for Alienation of Affection and Criminal Conversation. This means a lawsuit may be filed against the boyfriend or girlfriend for essentially destroying the marriage.

- Probate

If you want to create a lasting legacy for your family or have become involved with a will contest, speaking with a knowledgeable North Carolina probate law attorney is your first step toward resolution of your probate issues.
