Cox law firm teview

Mrs Cox was my attorney for my separation and divorce. Due to unfortunate circumstances I had to retain her again when my ex husband was not doing as he should have been doing according to my papers. Mrs Cox exceeded all my expectations. She is very compassionate and understanding of situations beyon...d our control. She has many years of experience and knowledge. She answered all my questions in a quick and timely manner., returns all emails and phone calls in the same way. Her door was always open. I highly recommend her and her law firm to anyone in need of a highly experienced attorney. Her knowledge of the law always impresses me as does she. Her legal assistant is also impeccable. There are no words to describe how elited I am with Mrs Cox and her law firm. I am so thankful for all of them.

Very Highly Recommended

Melanie Cox did such a good job of representing the needs of my daughter and myself in court that it felt as if she had a personal vested interest in the outcome. She listened to what I had to say, and never for a minute did I feel like she was "telling me what I wanted to hear". She is very strai...ghtforward and thorough in her representation. I really can't speak highly enough of her and the attention she gave to our case.

An Attorney Who Cares

Melanie Cox is a family oriented attorney who is a mother herself. She truly empathizes with her client's situation and makes a difficult experience more bearable. Her experience really shows in the details whether it is in her office, via emails, or teleconferences. Her assertiveness in the court... room is truly a benefit to her clients. She takes the case very personal as if she was in your position. Melanie is also very mindful of the hours charged and looked for ways to minimize the client’s financial burden.

What you want in an attorney.

After many attorneys declined to represent us, Melanie said she would. Melanie told us from the very beginning our case was "an uphill battle" in "unchartered waters" but felt we had a legitimate argument. Nothing was left on the table; everything was put forth in a professional manner. We won.... Melanie is organized, forward thinking and honest. We are so grateful she worked with us. Filing papers is easy, but sometimes clients need more. Malanie gave us that.
