Incredible
I used Mr. Fox as a criminal attorney, and my experience was absolutely outstanding. Cost being a major factor in choosing an attorney, I will first and foremost state that the pricing for my particular case was extremely fair, and even a bit lower than other attorneys I contacted prior. Doug was pro...

Winning custody case
Atty Fox was definitely a Godsend for me and my wife. My daughter was in a situation that was not conducive to her success in the future. We had been told by many that we didn't have a chance in winning custody. However, Atty Fox looked at the facts and our supporting documents and determined that w...

Outstanding representation
I am a CPA and have dealt with many lawyers throughout my career. I must say that Doug is one of the best in his field of practice. Doug represented me in a motion for contempt case in August 2013. This was rather a complicated case that needed special attention to details. From the beginning he de...

He fights hard!
I contacted the Fox Firm May 2012 when I was served for custody of my son after no contact from the biological father for most of his 10 year life. It was the most stressful time of my life but Doug walked beside me every step of the way. He fought my case in court just as though he were fighting for...

Douglas Nathan Fox's Lawyer Endorsements
"I have worked opposite Doug on a number of cases over the years. A good number of our cases have gone to trial. I can say without reservation that Doug is the kind of litigator you want in your corner. He is not afraid of a fight and is a zealous, well-prepared advocate in the courtroom, but one who still works to get things resolved amicably where possible. He brings a great deal of insight from more than two decades in practice, and he takes the responsibility he is invested with by his clients seriously. He is a consummate professional and a pleasure to work with. I have called him late at night before a trial from my desk to sort through those issues where we can find some common ground, and I know he is at his desk gearing up for trial, doing the work that needs to be done. I wholeheartedly endorse Doug Fox in the area of domestic and family law."
"I worked with Doug as opposing counsel on a family law matter in early 2017. In addition to being a fellow long-suffering Atlanta Falcons fan, Doug is a professional who looks out for his clients' interests first and foremost. I have no doubt that Doug was ready to furiously advocate for his client at trial. However, he didn't have to because we were able to settle our clients' case amicably. This combination of strength and wisdom is a sure-fire indicator of a great attorney."
"Doug is a highly intelligent and motivated attorney. While we were on the opposite side of a case, I found him to be very professional and forthright. I would highly recommend Doug to anyone looking for a divorce/domestic attorney."
"I endorse this lawyer. I've had multiple cases with him. I know he works hard for his clients. I would recommend him, if I had a conflict and was not able to represent someone."
"I endorse this lawyer. Doug is a tenacious advocate for his clients. He works hard for his clients and is very ethical."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I wholeheartedly endorse Doug. I have known Doug for over 20 years and can attest to his skill and expertise as an attorney. Doug is passionate about helping his clients."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Doug for over 20 years and he has always been very intense. He takes his cases very seriously and really devotes the time and energy needed to succeed in a case, no matter the difficulties the case may present. I like his aggressiveness and tenacity. If I had an issue in Georgia, I would turn to Doug and rest assured that I was in good hands."
"I had a nasty & lengthy custody trial against Doug 2 years ago, and I can strongly say his experience and trial skills make him a top-notch attorney. In fact, on several occasions when I have run into Doug around the courthouse, I have turned to him for advice on an issue I am litigating. I certainly endorse this attorney to anyone in need of an aggressive attorney...and recommend opposing counsels think twice about taking a case against him!"
"I endorse this lawyer. Doug is tenacious in his representation of those accused of crimes."
