Professional Biography

Eddie Knox serves “Of Counsel” at Knox Law Center, continuing to play an advisory role and lending his decades of legal experience to support both clients and attorneys at the firm. A Board Certified Trial Specialist with the National Board of Trial Advocacy, Eddie has long been recognized as one of North Carolina’s most respected legal professionals. He was named a Legal Elite by Business North Carolina magazine in 2003, 2005, and 2006, holds an AV Preeminent rating from Martindale-Hubbell, and was honored with the Super Lawyers Award from 2006 through 2024. In 2008, he was inducted into the General Practice Hall of Fame by the North Carolina Bar Association.

Eddie earned his Juris Doctor as a Babcock Scholar at Wake Forest University School of Law after graduating from North Carolina State University, where he was named the Most Distinguished Graduate in the School of Education. He also served as president of both the law school student body and the N.C. State student body.

Throughout his career, Eddie held numerous leadership roles in public service and civic life, including terms as a State Senator and Mayor of Charlotte, NC. He also chaired several state commissions and community organizations.

While he no longer actively practices law, Eddie continues to bring a wealth of insight to Knox Law Center. His decades of courtroom experience—ranging from personal injury and workers’ compensation to condemnation and malpractice—inform the firm’s approach and strategy, helping deliver the best possible outcomes for clients.

Outside of law, Eddie is the owner and developer of Verdict Ridge Golf and Country Club, located in Denver, NC. He and his wife, attorney Frances S. Knox, have two children and eight grandchildren. They are active members of Bethel Presbyterian Church in Cornelius, and Eddie also sings in “Witness,” a southern gospel quartet.

Case Experience

I have a long history of going the extra mile for my clients. For example, I traveled to Whiteville, North Carolina to meet with a client who had lost her husband in a serious car accident. She and her late husband were driving home from a friend’s funeral service when they were struck by a negligent driver. My client had been a beautician and as a result of her injuries was no longer able to work. I was able to obtain the policy limits from the adverse insurance company for my client and later handle the estate of the deceased husband. To this day, she continues to call me to say hello and express her gratitude for helping her through a devastating and trying period in her life.

I was recently able to convince the Industrial Commission to overturn their original decision to deny my client’s worker’s compensation claim for injuries sustained while on the job. My client had been driving for work-related purposes and was involved in a car accident. My client made a worker’s compensation claim but the insurance company denied the claim. However, upon hearing my persuasive argument and upon my presentation of evidence, which included depositions from several doctors, the Industrial Commission agreed to pay out on the claim.

In another case, I represented a young man who was seriously injured in an automobile accident where a negligent driver collided with his vehicle. The negligent driver would later be convicted of driving while impaired. Sadly, my client was paralyzed from the waist down as a result of the accident and was hospitalized for several months. When he was released, his mother became his primary caregiver. Although physicians did everything they were able to do on his behalf, he passed away seven months later. In addition to handling the young man’s initial personal injury claim, he was also able to obtain accidental death benefits for the mother despite the passage of time between the accident date and the young man’s passing.
