Absolutely Amazing!

Adam is an amazing attorney! Adam was professional, caring, and knows what he's doing 100%. I am so very thankful that I found Adam for my car accident case. He kept in constant contact with me so I knew what was going on throughout the process. More importantly, Adam knows the law AND knew my case.... He prevailed in everything along the way with this case that was dragged out by the opposing counsel. If you are looking for an attorney, I will recommend Adam 100%. I'm very lucky to have found him and have full confidence in his ability. You will not be disappointed hiring Adam Cox.

Outstanding and Personable

Adam did such an amazing job taking care of my case. He was in constant communication with me on information as well as updates. He explained all aspects of proceedings in detail and made me feel at ease after taking over my case. I would highly recommend him and would not hesitate to rehire if neede...d.

Amazing Attorney!

My husband and I are extremely grateful to have Adam Cox as our attorney. He not only is a knowledgable and great attorney but a very compassionate and understanding person. Adam worked on our vehicle accident case-injuries claims. At first, we were offered a ridiculously small amount which didn’t ev...en cover our time loss from work. When Adam took over the case, he was able to increase the settlement amount and put over 25 times more money in our pockets than the original offer! If you’re hurting and needing a smart, caring, trusting, and strong fighter on your side, hire Adam! No one will fight harder for you than Adam Cox!

Could Not Have Been Luckier to Have Adam Cox in My Corner

Adam Cox was my representation for a collision case and I could not have been luckier to have him in my corner. He is an adept attorney and genuine person who cares about his clients. My Situation: Before Mr. Cox, I had an attorney that handled my case poorly. They left me in complete disarray. M...y case had many different variables; I lived outside the state in which my accident occurred, I had medical bills from two states, and collections and insurance companies calling me constantly. This accident had become the bane of my existence. When Mr. Cox took on my case, he was able to empathize with my situation and accommodate me, even being out of state. He walked me through step by step what he and his team were going to do for my case. I greatly appreciated the fact that Mr. Cox would explain things twice, first in lawyer jargon and second in Layman’s terms. This allowed me to follow along in great detail and get a sense of relief that I understood what was happening. Most importantly, when I had a question about anything, I could reach out to him and he would respond promptly. My case ultimately had gone to arbitration. Mr. Cox’s performance during my arbitration was unparalleled. His closing remarks are what I would describe as a “drop-the-mic” performance. His professionalism, motivation, and skill truly make him stand out from the rest and as a result, I would highly recommend him!

Exceptional representation

Adam is a top notch attorney. He is professional and knowledgeable as well as compassionate, obviously very dedicated to his clients. In handling my major injury MVA claim, he examined and addressed every single wrongdoing of the parties at fault. The thoroughness and attention to details were outsta...nding in his preparation of court documents. I would hire Mr. Cox again in a heartbeat.
