I’m so grateful that I chose Sean Cox and his team to represent me in my family law case. From day one, Sean understood that my child was my top priority. Every time we went to court for a motion or hearing, I had complete confidence that he genuinely cared about what mattered most to me. Sean was assertive when necessary, yet strategic and thoughtful in negotiations. He made it clear that he would do everything possible to resolve my case without the expense and stress of a trial—and that is exactly what he did. He achieved the outcome I was hoping for, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. His fees were more than reasonable, and I appreciated that the billing was handled by his paralegal, Yash Gupta. Yash returned emails promptly and he supported me throughout the entire process and this allowed Sean to advocate strongly for me in court. I have referred Sean Cox to some of my Family members and they all had a positive experience. If you are looking for a, knowledgeable, experience and dedicated Family Law Attorney, I highly recommend The Law Offices of Sean Cox.

Mr. Patrick is an excellent listener, asking questions when he needed further clarification. He provided calm & reassurance as we discussed items of potentially significant impact. As a result of my consultation with Mr. Cox, my issues were resolved.

I do NOT recommend Sean or his firm based on the fact that his firm repeatedly missed deadlines with the court and when I requested a reduction in fees for this his response was to bully me into believing that he had done a good job. While my custody case was resolved to my satisfaction, the service I received from Sean and his office was, I believe, unacceptable. In my opinion, if you want an attorney that you will have to do most of the work for or one that you will continuously have to remind to do their job, then Sean is your man. If you want an attorney that will do their job timely without constant reminders, I strongly suggest you look elsewhere. Full details below. Good luck with your attorney search! July 24, 2025 Hearing Paperwork: The judge directed that the post trial paperwork be filed with the court, and Sean stated in court he would draft and file. It wasn't until I reached out to Sean three months after the hearing that he acknowledged he had not filed the order. I finally received the executed order in the middle of October after having to remind him to file and write the order for his paralegal because they didn’t have the correct information in the initial draft. Meanwhile, the office had not problem sending invoices every 10 days requesting payment for work they had not yet completed. July 2025 De Novo Pretrial Paperwork: Because the pretrial paperwork was not filed on time, the judge limited what we were able to present and discuss at trial. I spent a significant amount of time drafting and preparing the documentation to be submitted as evidence only to learn we were not able to present the evidence due to the missed filing deadline. Sean called me to explain that his colleague experienced a personal trauma with her own alcoholic abuser and missed the deadline, but there is a pattern of missed filings and therefore this was not a one-off situation that can be simply written off due to those circumstances. When I requested a reduction in fees for the missed filing, Sean turned it around on me saying I didn’t give them enough time to review the revisions and meet the filing deadline. However, there wouldn’t have been so many revisions to make if his team had done a proper job with the arguments in the first place. April 2024 Hearing Paperwork: The post-trial paperwork from the April 2024 hearing was not filed with the court until September 2024, only after I followed up regarding the six-month review hearing that should have been held in October 2024. Not only did this cost me additional fees because I was charged nearly $500 for the court transcripts since Sean and his team no longer remembered the details needed to file the order, it resulted in the 6 month review being pushed out to 10 months. That was four additional months the parenting time order I was fighting remained in place. Four additional months my children were subjected to unnecessary trauma because Sean and his team neglected to file the order timely. In my opinion, for the reasons above and more, Sean Cox is not an attorney I would recommend. To anyone. Ever.

Sean Cox has been going to battle for me for the last few years in my complex custody case. I could not ask for a better advocate. I have been to Court with Sean a couple times a month over the last six months and what an amazing outcome was achieved. Thanks to the hard work of Sean and his team, as of this past fall, I know have full custody of my daughter and I have my house back. Communication, follow up and customer service were outstanding. Being Active Duty Military, my case was very difficult with having to be overseas for long periods of time but Sean got it done. Shayne was the paralegal assigned to my case and she was always there for me, sometime every day, through this ordeal. If you are looking for legal team to fight for your child in a custody case, or divorce or an family law matter, I highly recommend this law firm. You will get outstanding legal representation provided at a fair and reasonable cost.
