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 ans...wer 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 go...es, 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.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
