Practice Areas
At Jeff Cox, Attorney at Law, PLLC, we provide the following legal services.
DUI Defense
Arrested for DUI? Don't face it alone.
A DUI charge can threaten your license, your job, and your freedom — but an arrest isn't a conviction. With experienced legal representation, you have real options: challenging the traffic stop, questioning field sobriety and breath test procedures, and fighting for reduced charges or dismissal.
As a former DUI prosecutor, I've built these exact cases for the state — I know the playbook inside and out: how officers document stops, how breath and blood evidence gets presented, and where prosecutors are most vulnerable. Now I use that firsthand experience to defend clients against the same charges I used to prosecute.
If you've been arrested, the clock is already ticking on your license. Call today for a free consultation and let's protect your rights.
Traffic Defense
Caught driving too fast?
Paying a traffic ticket may seem easy, but it's often a mistake — it's an admission of guilt that can raise your insurance rates, add points to your license, and put you at risk of suspension. A speeding ticket, moving violation, or citation for reckless driving deserves a second look before you write that check.
I help drivers fight traffic citations and protect their driving record, their insurance rates, and their peace of mind. Many tickets can be reduced, dismissed, or resolved without points ever touching your license. Don't assume a ticket is the final word — call today for a free consultation and find out your options.
Wills, Trusts, & Estate Planning
Protect What Matters Most — Plan Ahead.
None of us like to think about it, but life is unpredictable. Without a proper estate plan, your family could face unnecessary stress, expensive probate court, and hard decisions made without your guidance. A will, trust, or power of attorney isn't just paperwork — it's peace of mind for you and protection for the people you love.
I help individuals, families, and business owners create clear, comprehensive estate plans tailored to their needs — from a simple will to a full trust designed to avoid probate, along with powers of attorney that ensure your wishes are honored if you're ever unable to speak for yourself. Don't leave your family's future to chance. Call today to start planning.
Government Relations
Navigate Regulation. Shape Policy. Protect Your Interests.
Highly regulated industries don't succeed by accident — they succeed by understanding how government actually works, from the statehouse to the agency rulemaking table. Whether you're seeking new legislation, responding to proposed regulations, or navigating a complex compliance landscape, having the right advocate can mean the difference between opportunity and obstacle.
I bring firsthand experience on both sides of the process — as a former state agency bureau chief, as someone who has helped draft statutes and regulatory frameworks from the ground up, and as a compliance executive who has guided multi-state operations through evolving regulatory environments. I understand administrative law, agency procedure, and how rules get written — because I've written them.
Whether you need help drafting legislation, commenting on proposed rules, navigating licensing and compliance, or simply understanding how a regulatory decision will affect your business, I can help you engage government effectively and protect your interests.
