It is a blessing to have him on your side.

In 2014, I violated my probation by going in my victim's backyard and looking in the window. I was on probation for Indecency with a child by exposer (a 3rd degree felony). I contacted a different lawyer before I hired Mr. Cox. That lawyer basically thought I did not have "A CHANCE " that I would avo...id prison. I was looking at 10 yrs in prison. I was convicted of the 3rd degree felony and my probation was revoked. However, Mr. Cox was somehow able to get the judge to agree to giving me a second probation for 10 yrs. I am the kind of person that would be critically injured (or worse) in prison the second I walk in the door. I am FOREVER grateful for Mr. Cox and his unique ability to work in the courtroom. If you need a GREAT lawyer, I HIGHLY recommend Mr. Cox to you. He did not disappoint me. WOW!!! Great job sir. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

A thorough and capable attorney

I hired Mr. Cox to represent me when I was accused of speeding 30 over the limit in a school zone, and he got it dismissed.

Great and very knowledge

Mr. Cox is an amazing attorney! not only did he keep his word we got the results we expected through his guidance. I highly recommend Mr. Cox for anyone who may encounter any legal issues.

Excellent Attorney

Mr. Cox did a great job in my case. He was professional, courteous and is knowledgeable. He always returned my call and emails. He helped guide me through the process. He did all he could to help make sure this would not stay on my record long term. I would definitely use him again and appreciat...e all he did for me.

Great

I do not plan on getting in trouble with the police again but god forbid if I did I would only hire Mr. Cox in Fort Bend. I hired Mr. Cox for 3 charges on 2 separate incidents and there was nothing else he could’ve done better. I had 1 felony and 1 misdemeanor charge on same instance which resulted ...in the dismissal of the felony. I had to take the misdeamor charge as guilty but I was more than happy with that as it doesn’t affect my future as much as the felony would’ve. My second incident I hire Mr. Cox was amazing and quite frankly I was amazed that it’s getting dismissed by the 2nd court date only. He’s awesome perhaps the best in Fort Bend in my opinion. 100% recommend him to everyone. He will get you the best outcome possible. But my genuine advice would be, just don’t get arrested because that sucks.
