Mr. Anatoliy Burov
When I contacted attorney John Cox, I was prepared to pay as much as necessary to avoid getting points on my record. I am a commercial driver and this was extremely important to me. After mr. Cox worked on my case, the results exceeded my highest expectations: not only I didn't get any points, my entire traffic violation was dismissed I am very grateful and would highly recommend John Cox's office to anyone who needs help with traffic violations. It is especially important for commercial drivers.

Great results
I called the office to represent me for a speeding ticket that I was very nervous about. John Cox took my case and got my ticket dismissed. I paid less than I would’ve if I’d paid the original ticket charges. So happy and appreciative of the outcome!

Dui Case dismissed
I hired John Cox to help me prepare a defense for a DUI ticket that could have significantly impacted on my family and career. Attorney Cox's experience with the law and the court proceedings helped me prepare in advance to present my case in the best possible light for consideration by the judge. Mr. Cox's associate Attorney Arlind Kastrati stepped in and took over my case after having several continuances. Attorney Kastrati did extra research and built upon the argument that Attorney Cox had put together. The state reviewed the arguments that Attorney Kastrati would be presenting and dismissed my case prior to my court date. Preparation in advance, accepting responsibility, and showing remorse, were key factors in a good outcome. Do not go to DUI case unprepared and without representation. Hire John Cox and his team right away, he will work with you for the best possible outcome.

Awesomeness
Mr. Cox represented me on a dui and driving on suspended. He did an awesome job and got my driving on suspended dismissed. He is awesome, professional and I feel like he was looking out for my best interests. Worth every penny. If I ever have need of an attorney again, I only hope he's available!!

Responsive, Proactive, Effective
Attorney Cox and his staff were fantastic! I called them for local representation on a typical highway traffic ticket, with only 24 hours' notice before the court date. (I had set the ticket aside on my desk, and the date crept up quicker than expected!) For a very reasonable fee, he was able to get the court date extended, and then plead the case down to a lesser offense based on my clean record. His staff followed-up with me diligently at each step, and helped liaise with the court on all details. Highly recommended!

Articulate, Effective & Caring
After interviewing several other lawyers, I hired Mr Fox after reviewing his avvo scores and speaking with him. He was very straight forward, listened to my concerns and he told me what to expect but made no guarantees. He developed a plan and a backup plan and shared it with me. My child's issue has been favorably resolved and I have Mr Cox to thank for that. I would very highly recommend Mr Cox to anyone in need of legal assistance.

DSS/Criminal Case
Mr. Cox was very nice and straight forward from day one with me and I greatly appreciate that . He told me what was the worst outcome and what was the best outcome to expect. He fought so hard for me and my 4 kids. This case went on 4 several months and even now if I have a question he will still answer it. I voted for him when he ran for office. He would make an fantastic judge and would be fair to everyone. I hope he runs again! I wish him all the best in life and I thank him from the bottom of my heart for everything he done for me and my kids, even though it was not the outcome I wanted it to be. He was my court appointed lawyer and to me he did not show be any different. He did his best and that is good enough for me.

DSS case
I would recommend Mr. Cox because he is straight forward and always tell you the worse to the best outcome up front. I would recommend him to anyone. He was court appointed to me, which I heard in the past that court appointed lawyers did not have your best interest at hand. As far as attorney Cox goes, he went all out for me and I am grateful. The outcome wasn't what I wanted it to be but I was prepared and thanks to attorney Cox, because it could have been a lot worse. I pray that one day that he could be the Judge in Alamance county courts because he would make a BIGGGG difference!

DSS Case
Mr. Cox was court appointed for a DSS/CPS case after another attorney withdrew. He was straight forward with me, returned my calls and emails promptly, and answered all of my questions, which were excessive. If need be, which hopefully, there won't, I will use him again.

Wrongly Accused
While locked up in Alamance County, this lawyer was court-appointed to me. He took out the time to keep me informed of the situation as well as my physical health, during that time I was taking medication. He had the case expedited as quickly as possible.

Feelings
I will start by saying my son was in the hospital for having seizures he is 6 months old. I had court and I called the office of John Cox and told them I have been up for 2 days in the hospital with my baby no sleep at all. The lady on the phone did not ask me if my son was okay or even showed any emotion I know that's not their place but that is just kind of what a human does. I told them I did not need to be driving because I was so tired and all I had to do was get it continued so I asked them if my lawyer could just take care of it so I did not have to be there because I did not want to drive as tired as I was. They didn't care I still had to go and I know most people might not understand my situation but being scared of losing my son at 6 months of age I was so tired and I just needed it to be put off but I could not get any help and I still had to go and drag my baby in that courthouse because I don't have family or friends to help me keep him and I really didn't want to leave him with anybody because he just got out the hospital for having seizures and if something happened I wanted to be there. So maybe here's a little advice when someone calls you crying because their son is in the hospital having seizures maybe try to be a little more understanding I knew that I would probably have to go but I was hoping there was a slight chance that they could help me take care of this or at least get it put off the lady on the phone had no feelings or heart she didn't say sorry but you got to go she didn't say I hope he gets better she didn't say nothing but kind of chuckled and said you got to be there.
