Best Lawyer ever!

Attorney Lee D. Cox is outstanding. I was facing a DWI in Fort Bend County, and from the very beginning he made the entire process clear and manageable. Every question I had was answered fully, and communication was always timely — I never had to wonder what was going on with my case. Attorney Cox h...andled everything with professionalism, confidence, and real expertise. He guided me step-by-step, kept me informed, and delivered exactly what he said he would. His dedication and attention to detail made a huge difference in the outcome of my case. If you’re ever dealing with a legal issue — especially something as serious as a DWI — hire Attorney Lee D. Cox. He is the attorney you want in your corner.

Excellent defense

I hired Mr. Cox to defend me when I was accused of felony tampering with evidence during a traffic stop. He provided extremely professional and competent defense and charged a very fair price for his services. He was very personable in the courtroom and always kept me up to date with my case. Ultimat...ely, the felony charge I was facing was dismissed without a trial. I thank Mr. Cox and his colleagues for their professionalism and punctuality in handling my legal issues and will contact him first if I ever need legal defense or advice in the future.

Wonderful Lawyer

Lee handled my son's case and he was a true professional that was able to get the case dismissed! From our first meeting which was after hours as he waited for my son to be released we knew he was the right person for us. He showed a genuine interest in our situation, was easy to work with and laid... out a detailed course of action which indicated he was very experienced in this type of matter. We will be forever grateful to Lee and his staff and highly recommend them.

An excellent criminal defense attorney

We interviewed 6 attorneys before hiring Mr. Cox to defend a possession of marijuana case. From the moment we met and spoke with him, we were confident that Mr. Cox was the right choice. He took the time to realistically explain the potential outcomes of the case, both best and worst case scenarios, ...and answered all of our questions, on numerous occasions, even before we hired him. Mr. Cox has a direct and "straight up" manner and demonstrated genuine care and integrity in his interactions with us. He is well known and respected in the judicial and legal community in Fort Bend County---we saw this ourselves when we appeared in court with Mr. Cox. Through Mr.Cox's work and handling of our case we were fortunate to have had the best possible outcome of my son's case. Even without this great outcome, we would unreservedly recommend Lee Cox as legal counsel---he did a fantastic job for us and was a true pleasure to work with.
