Excellence, professionalism, compassion, my lifeline

I can’t say enough good about Christa and feel so blessed to have found her. She was my attorney starting in 2017 during one of the most difficult times of my life involving a custody battle. She is sharp, intelligent, has an amazing ability to read a situation. She also provided an enormous amount o...f emotional support during the time we worked together which made all the difference for me. She truly cares for her clients and it shows. I am still in contact with her three years later, and rely on her for occasional counsel still. She will be my attorney for life. I have referred her to friends who have hired her and been equally pleased. I was always amazed at both her quick and personalized responses. When we first contacted her, she answered the phone herself - how often does that happen in today’s world? She is a gem, and was a guardian angel for me. She is a combination of professional intelligence, legal acuity, and personal compassion.

Handled my Divorce with compassion and professionalism

I was very pleased with the way Ms Coxon handled my divorce from the very beginning all the way through to the end. She was affordable (very important). She communicated every aspect of my case in a very timely manner. She made sure that there weren't any conflicts of interest right away. She was ...understanding of our situation and worked diligently and patiently with me. My ex and myself are not enemies and are satisfied with how everything was handled and how it turned out. I will definitely recommend Ms Coxon to everyone who asks me for a referral.

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.

Honest, trustworthy, no nonsense Lawyer.

Honest, trustworthy, no nonsense Lawyer. Christa worked on my divorce case for years giving me direct no nonsense advice during a difficult time. I would recommend her to anyone that doesn't want the typical Lawyer gouging you for money.

Smart, Knowledgeable and Compassionate = Christa Coxon

For many people, when you start out in the divorce process, you are often confused and somewhat mentally paralyzed. Not the best frame of mind to be in when making an important decision that will affect the rest of your life. After interviewing five attorneys, and listening to several personal recomm...endations, I chose Christa Coxon to represent me in my divorce. There were several reasons for this important decision, but mainly it was because of her ability to quickly understand the finer and frankly more complicated details related to my divorce situation. Like a chess player, Christa developed a strategy to protect my rights as a father, even when it seemed “the professionals in the local court system” hold fathers in little regard. Christa’s strategy also worked to help protect my current assets and long-term financial situation. Christa is very hard working and always two steps ahead of the situation. She would often recommend that I take action on something and the reasons would not seem important to me at the time, but later, they became obvious. Her explanation of the upcoming process, which at times could be confusing, helped me understand what I was going through and helped me properly deal with the situation. I would highly recommend Christa Coxon to help you during one of the most challenging times in your life.
