Will put up the fight you need and deserve!

Jon is a man that you know just from his handshake you can trust him. He listened to me and was very upfront. I didn't feel like he pushed me into taking a deal just because it was easier for him. He went to bat for me. I'm thankful to have had him by my side during one of the most difficult and ...trying times.

"Disregard the issue of misconduct on this site completely. Mr. Cox received a DUI, which has nothing to do with his ability to practice law. He is one of the very best Idaho has to offer. Do not hesitate to hire Mr. Cox."

"I'm not sure how Avvo does it's ratings, but there is no concern as to Mr. Cox's ability to effectively advocate for his clients. Thus, to question his ethics due to a personal issue, that had nothing to do with client representations, gives grave concern to Avvo's systems ratings as an effective tool for the community. I would not hesitate to recommend Jon Cox as a criminal attorney."

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2011.

Suspension Stayed issued in ID, 2011

updated on 07/10/2015

Suspension stayed means the attorney has been disciplined, but that the suspension is placed on hold (and ultimately removed) if the attorney complies with certain requirements.

Jon’s comment:

“This probation with the Idaho State Bar is a consequence of a DUI arrest in 2008. This probation has at no time impacted the ability to practice law. Contact the Idaho State Bar Association with any concerns regarding this matter.”
