Owner and attorney at Cox Law Office, LLC since 2006.

Over the last 15 years, I’ve worked hard to build a real estate focused legal practice and title insurance agency that combined has 8 lawyers and 100+ employees in 11 locations throughout the southern half of Ohio and northern Kentucky.  If you have a real estate related question, I can get you going in the right direction.  And through my experience, I can tell you that it’s so much better to handle matters appropriately before it goes sideways and then a lawyer can do very little for you.

Our law firm was founded upon the belief that victims of personal injury deserve a lawyer who is both committed to the case and capable of going the distance to trial when necessary.  Combining dedication to our clients with more than 30 years of trial experience has allowed us to achieve exceptional results, including the largest personal injury verdict in Franklin County history.. We have experience in a wide variety of cases including car and truck accidents, medical malpractice, product liability and unsafe premises.  We bring perseverance and commitment to each case.

Our firm is a group of good-natured people who enjoy helping people, doing it with joy and enthusiasm, and doing it the right way. We work as a team on every case. When a client entrusts our firm to help them, they don't hire a single attorney. All of our attorneys, paralegals, and staff are familiar with all of our cases and work collaboratively to bring the client the highest level of service, expertise, and professionalism that we can offer. Our firm uses the latest technologies for prompt response times, timely and clear communications, and to reduce costs and better the experience for our clients.. Prior to joining Collins & Slagle in 2007, I was an associate in the Corporate and Securities practice area with the law firm of Porter, Wright, Morris, and Arthur.  I attended Miami University where I met lifelong friends, was an active member of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority, studied in Luxembourg, and earned degrees in both Finance and Management Information Systems. I still consider Oxford, Ohio Utopia and have dreams of my daughters also attending college there.  Right out of college, I pursued my life-long dream of becoming an attorney by attending Capital University Law School.   At Capital, I was the Managing Editor of the Law Review, was nominated to the Order of the Curia, received the CALI Award of Excellence in both Legal Writing I and II, and Legal Drafting classes, and I graduated magna cum laude.  I love helping people and feel blessed to have the opportunity to make a difference every day through my work as an attorney.

One of the most traumatic things you'll ever go through is getting fired, and the stress is even worse if you have a wrongful termination case. I work to help you through this tough time.. My employment practice focuses on representing employees, including executives and partners, in all areas of employment law, from contract and severance negotiations for senior-level executives to protecting employee rights in discrimination and retaliation lawsuits under both federal and state law, non-compete agreements and wrongful termination claims. For nearly 20 years, I  represented employers in employment cases and I understand how employers evaluate these types of claims and am able to represent employees from a position of strength because of that knowledge.. In addition, I believe that the relationship between clients and their lawyers is a partnership where both parties collaborate to achieve the best result and that requires honest and frequent communication about each matter. Clients also deserve a lawyer that’s easily reachable. All of my clients have my cell phone number and know they can call anytime, including before and after “business hours.” I also return emails and telephone calls as close to immediately as possible. While litigation is always stressful, I find that consistent communication can help control that stress.. As to the substance of the law, I have litigated, in both state and federal courts, employment cases on behalf of both employers and employees regarding non-compete, non-solicitation and other contractual provisions. I have also represented clients in matters pertaining to franchise agreements and have defended small and medium-sized businesses against discrimination claims and other workplace allegations. I have also litigated many general business disputes on behalf of corporate clients.
