Melanie Cox did an excellent job representing me during my difficult divorce and child custody case. The outcome was in my favor and I was able to win custody of my children. Mrs. Cox was prepared, knowledgeable and professional throughout our entire case including a difficult court case and an extensive amount of paperwork and filings.

Chris represented me in working through a time sensitive separation agreement as well as temp child custody order. He was extremely responsive, professional, and provided in-depth explanation of the risk vs benefits of taking various actions. I would highly recommend him for his expertise in divorce/family law.

Melanie Cox is very professional, ethical, knowledgeable & truly cares about her clients and their best interests. She is very prompt to respond to phone calls/emails, etc. & is mindful of her client’s financial situations. In the courtroom.....she is a BEAST! I highly recommend her as a divorce attorney!

Chris Cox is an excellent lawyer. I had a free consultation with him at first. He clearly cared about my situation and didn’t try to sway me based on what would be best for him, he advised me on what would be best for me. When I finally came back and decided to use his firm, he remembered our conversation and was upfront about his pricing. He took time to do the job right. Revisions did cost money but Chris Cox is thorough so everything gets done correctly. He helped me to think about some things I hadn’t thought about and he made sure the document was drawn up with the updated statutes in

I must admit to being blown away by the professional service and courtesy extended by Chris Cox of the Cox Law Firm. My life was upside down due to the failure of my marriage and Chris and his experienced staff were a valued and appreciated life line to getting my family affairs back in order. Chris suggested and utilized a negotiation method that expedited our divorce discussions and ultimately provided a very acceptable resolution to the situation.
Chris is as professional as they come. His attention to detail is beyond question as is his integrity. He worked extremely hard on my behalf and

I worked with Melanie Cox on a recent legal matter. She was nothing but professional and kind during what could have been a difficult situation. She advised me numerous times in a variety of scenarios. She was flexible with my time and needs. The office team was so quick and responsive. Also, if Melanie needs to bounce a question off her partner, she has her husband Chris Cox to work with as well. Great team!
If I have other legal matters, I will certainly turn to Melanie and Cox Law Firm again.

Having worked in law enforcement in Union County for 20+ years, most of that conducting criminal investigations, I've had the opportunity to work closely with both Chris and Melanie through their time at the District Attorney's Office and in private practice. Their tagline says it all...they have the knowledge and experience you can trust and count on. I have no reservations recommending their services to anyone. Best of luck to them in their new venture!
