Lawyer Overview

At the Law Offices of Milligan, Beswick, Levine & Knox, we handle all types of criminal and civil cases ranging from family and domestic law, personal injury law, medical malpractice, administrative law, misdemeanor criminal offenses and DUI's to felony criminal offenses to included homicides and white-collar cases. Our office is experienced in handling state cases throughout California and federal cases throughout the United States. We work diligently with our clients to provide them with the best representation possible. We take pride in our ability to effectively communicate with our clients and guide them through what can be a very difficult experience.

Our office has a reputation of achieving success through an aggressive and thoughtful approach. From unique settlements to trials, we work with our clients to make decisions that are best for them.

James L. Knox is a highly experienced attorney who has successfully handled thousands of cases. Mr. Knox and his partners have appeared in virtually every courthouse in Southern California. The Southern California criminal justice system is highly complex and at times even finding the right courthouse is a daunting task. Wherever your legal matter is pending, we have the experience and skills to get you results.

We know what it feels like to have a loved one in jail. If you have a family member or friend held in any of the Southern California jails, we can assist with their immediate release. Call us before contacting a bondsman. Not only will we get you out of jail, but we will defend your case as well. Mr. Knox can often negotiate a lower bail amount and sometimes arrange for a release on your own recognizance. If a bond is required, Mr. Knox can help you easily obtain a bond with the best possible terms.

Avoiding jail is a goal of almost every client. Due to family and work commitments a jail sentence can often involve losing more than just the time served. Alternative sentencing is not available in every case and every case is different, but our office strives to find an alternative to jail whenever possible. If you want to find out if we can help you find an alternative to jail, call now and ask to speak directly with Mr. Knox.

We realize that this is a difficult time for you and your family. Our office will take the time to ensure that you are informed during each phase of your case. Please contact us for a private consultation.
