Attorney Stephen Coxen came highly recommended by David LaMalva of Conyers, Georgia. He helped my husband untangle three separate Child Support cases filed in Newton County that his ex-wife placed on the same children over and over again. He went to work and uncovered all the years of deception and...

"I recently tried a case against Steve. It was my first experience dealing with him. We typically practice in different judicial circuits and do not have the occasion to encounter each other. I was extremely impressed by Steve's knowledge of the facts of the case -- both those that supported and that hurt his client's case. He was prepared for everything that I threw his way. Additionally, this case involved some fairly complex legal arguments. Steve was well prepared to address each of those arguments. There are a lot of potentially good lawyers out there that just don't invest the time necessary to get to know their clients. It is clear to me that Steve is a hard worker and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone seeking representation in his practice areas."
