Child support/custody case

Christa was always there for me... has been for 3.5 years. She continutes to handle my case in MI even though we live in WA. She always gives honest advice and keeps me informed making the best possible decisions for my little girl and me.

Livingston County's best

Ms. Coxon is an excellent attorney. When I was going through the emotional ups and downs, she would remind me that my children were #1 in this whole process and every decision should be made with their future and well being before my own. I have recommended Ms. Coxon to many others and they have all ...called me after so grateful for the recommendation.Thank you for letting me be a Mom instead of a spiteful ex-wife.

Exactly what I needed at the time

Ms. Coxon was incredibly helpful in a very difficult situation. My ex had a lot of time on his hands and decided to represent himself. He would have loved nothing more that to run up a lot of legal fees. Ms Coxon's advice was always focused on dealing with him quickly and effectively when it would... have been very easy to let the process drag out. I have found her advice to be very solid (even if it is not what I wanted to hear at the time), and she was always very careful to spend her time (and my money) wisely. I would rate her extermely high in terms of value for the money spent. I have worked with many lawyers in my professional life and unfortunately have also been exposed to several in the family law arena as well. Ms. Coxon ranks among just a few at the very top of the list. I frequently recommend her to others based on my experience.

  • 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.
