James Robert Fox

My case is what most lawyers and judges in the family division, consider the "most difficult". I was asking the courts to grant my request to relocate my 6 year old daughter to Pennsylvania from California, where her father was staying; in other words: a move-away. I was self representing myself in t...he beginning of my case, and then chose to pay an attorney who was cheap but knew the law more than me; both of those choices failed me. After three years of being in and out of court, I decided to go "all in". I searched, and reviewed many lawyers, and kept coming back to Mr. Fox. I decided to retain his services, and it was the best choice I ever made. From my first phone call, to weeks after my final hearing, I am still in contact with him and still satisfied with the outcome. My first meeting with Mr. Fox was at his office, where both him and his paralegal did everything to make me feel comfortable. They both kept me informed each step of the way and reached out to me anytime they needed anything from me. I was able to relax in the weeks leading up to my case knowing that I had a great attorney working on my case. Mr. Fox even made himself available at all times, for any questions I had or even just moments of doubt. I was pleased with, not only Mr. Fox's service, but also with the outcome of my case. My daughter was granted permission to move, and is now afforded time with family and a better future; and I have Mr. Fox to thank for that. If you want a lawyer, who never "drops the ball" on your case, and actually cares about you and your case as if it were his own life, then Mr. Fox is the attorney you want on your side. He is hard working and compassionate about what he does. A wise man once said "cheap lawyers aren't good, and good lawyers aren't cheap". His prices are considerably low when you compare them to the work he puts in and the lifelong happiness you and your family can gain from his services.

When I first walked into Jim's office, I had been married for only a month, I was anticipating the arrival of my first child, and I had just been falsely accused of domestic violence. Even though I had just been "played", I was in denial at first. And deeply wounded. Because I was active duty militar...y, I also had the unique challenge of having to answer to two justice systems. My wife at the the time had an endless amount of resources available to her, and had a whole community of people believing her story. YWCA gave her a free attorney, there were "victim" advocates on base calling my boss at work, she was even admitted into a domestic violence shelter to support the narrative of me being an abuser. Jim was one of the only people that believed me. Over the next year and a half, I was repeatedly targeted by false allegations. With limited space available, I'm going to try and list most of the things Jim was able to do for me. - Jim was able to ensure my son was born in this state - I was able to have my son's last name be changed to mine. - Jim defeated two restraining orders filed against me. He greatly impeached the credibility of both my accuser, and in one of the cases the lawyer that was representing my accuser. He truly brought justice to both cases, and I was finally vindicated, and able to carry a judgement that proved my innocence. - At a custody exchange, I was the victim of domestic violence while waiting at the curb to pick up my son. I called 911 for help, and the police officer was incompetent and unable to see that I was the victim, despite the physical evidence. I was arrested and taken to jail. Jim was able to convince the prosecutor not to charge me, and he was able to obtain a restraining order protecting me from further incident and ensuring that I could pick up my son safely. -Jim helped me navigate through two fraudulent child abuse accusations, both of which were declared "unfounded" by CPS workers. -I now have FULL PHYSICAL AND LEGAL CUSTODY of my son. He will be 2 years old in a couple of months. The most memorable moment I have of this case is when I was sitting on the witness stand, being cross examined by my accuser's shark of an attorney. Having already factually lost the battle, she was glaring at me, asking unrelated questions, slinging mud, hoping to paint me as a bad guy. I looked to the right, and there was Jim. He gave me a nod of the head, and I was inspired with confidence. I was able to look this person in the eye, with my career, future, and fatherhood on the line, and concisely answer her questions. Throughout the questioning, half of her absurd questions were tossed out by the judge, because of Jim's objections and knowledge of the law. We all learn about the justice system going through school. We are taught that it is a system of due process, and that it generally seeks and finds the truth. Anecdotally, however, I know I may have arrived at a much different fate if the attorney at my side was not Jim Fox.

I can’t say enough for what Jim has done for me. He is super personal and legitimately cares for me as a client and always has my best interest in mind. He’s honest and tells me like it is, but he’s also always been a constant encouragement for me all the way through my divorce and is so perceptive... that he knows when to talk to me as my lawyer or more as a friend. He even called me right after my divorce was finalized just to see how I was doing to encourage me knowing how hard it was for me emotionally. He cares enough to get involved to understand every aspect of the situation, remembers every detail and is very methodical on knowing the best way to put together a strong case with his expertise and knowledge of the law. I couldn’t image anyone else I'd rather have helping me through this tough time and supporting me legally.

I had Attorney Fox handle my Living Will. I was pleased with his thoughness. Since I had never done a living will he infomed me of several clauses common in a living will and infomed me in the layman terms necessary to communicate with a Non-legal professional. I so appreciate him keeping me infor...med of progress and completing my will in a timely, effortless manner.
