He seeks and finds the best outcomes in matters for his clients. Chris is worthy of referrals in his areas of practice."
"I met Chris Cox over 20 years ago and have referred a number of clients to him over the years, in the areas of probate and estate planning, family law and civil matters. Chris is knowledgeable in many areas of practice and provides excellent service to his clients. Chris practices with integrity and conscientiousness, and enhances the reputation of lawyers in the St. Louis community. I recommend Chris highly."
