Who is Attorney Evelyn Cox?

As a law student, Evelyn spent time in London England studying International Human Rights Law and successfully incorporates these principles in her legal arguments.

Evelyn's philosophy: "The law is always about fairness. My job is to understand my client and his or her unique situation and develop a strategy that will inform the court and other parties of why a certain outcome is the correct legal choice. Negotiation is always the preferred method of dealing with a legal crisis, and the fact that I am willing and able to take a matter to trial is the backbone of any successful negotiation. I am a trial attorney. Getting a fair trial is a right firmly rooted in our Constitution."


Whether you think you may need a lawyer, or you know you need one, Evelyn Cox will help you define your legal needs and evaluate what you can afford.
