Attorney & Lawyer FAQs
Do you only handle law cases in Tarrant County?
We handle cases right now in numerous cities around Fort Worth and numerous other counties around Tarrant County Texas. We have had many cases in Johnson County which is Cleburne, in Rockwall County, Denton County, Collin County, Dallas County, etc. We handle cases all over generally the Dallas and Fort Worth area.
What can I expect to happen during a lawsuit?
We always tell people that the process of a lawsuit is can be painfully slow when we filed a lawsuit we anticipate that it won’t be resolved for at least a year and a half and a lot of times it’s longer than that. There will be periods where it seems to you that nothing is happening but we have to respond to various written requests back and forth from each side. We will do depositions you will have to testify in a deposition but of course will prepare you for that and it’s and it’s not a complicated procedure it’s it’s basically just the lawyer for the other side asking you questions and then we will go to mediation and it will either be resolved or it won’t and we’ll prepare it for trial.
Does The Cox Law Firm Charges Large Retainer Fees?
For the majority of our cases, we do not charge what would be considered a larger retainer at all. We handle cases on contingency fee where we’re not charging anything upfront and the client is not responsible for anything but expenses and if we do have a case where we feel the retainer is necessary, again generally it’s only a very small percentage of what we believe the ultimate fee will be depending on the complexity of the case.
Does The Cox Law Firm Charges More than Attorneys that are not Board Certified?
No, absolutely not or at least not because of the certification. Here at the Cox Law Firm we charge much as others law firms do and it is more based on experience and expertise in a given field. Also because we’re in Bedford in the mid cities area we don’t have to pay the rent that you would in downtown Fort Worth or downtown Dallas so that allows us to keep our attorneys fees a little lower.
Does the person with the best lawyer or attorney always win?
The person with the best attorney doesn’t always win. In most cases the person who wins is the person who has the best case. The person who has the right injustice on their side. There are certainly cases where a bad attorney can lose a case for you but generally speaking you know most attorneys are at least reasonably competent and it’s unusual that the person who should have won doesn’t win.
If you sue someone, how likely is it to go to trial?
Well that’s really up to you. Historically in Texas in recent years, they say that the fewer than one out of ten cases go to trial. But in fact it’s like three out of a hundred cases. If you’re determined to go to trial in a given case we’re certainly willing to accommodate your wishes in that regard. We will advise you what we think is best for you with regards to going to trial or settling beforehand but if you’re determined to take a case to trial then we would be happy to do that.
Why doesn't the Cox Law Firm advertise on TV or billboards?
Actually when we started practicing law 30 years ago that was just beginning to be allowed. Before that, advertising on different places was forbidden by lawyers. It was against the law, it is obviously fully legal now and many firms do it but we always feel like we rather have more of a personal connection with our clients. We are a more or less a smaller firm and we want to get to know the clients more on a personal level and generally obtain a referral of some time from someone we know someone we’ve represented in the past it and has been always our best advertising.
Are big law firms always better?
No, absolutely not. There may be particular cases super complex litigation with hundreds of parties or involving millions of dollars that we would not even consider handling here because we are small but on the typical case you know our attorneys are experienced and licensed just like the law firm or the lawyers and the big firms and we like to think that we’re better in the sense that we are more accessible to our clients you know, we generally give you our cell phone number our email address and and it’s easy to just knock on our door and come in anytime.
