About H.

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.
