Mr. Cox’s practice encompasses all areas of civil litigation relating to the defense of California public entities, including general negligence, wrongful death, premises and personal injury liability, civil rights, police liability, workplace investigations, labor and employment, and appellate practice. Mr. Cox has experience in all phases of civil litigation, including responding to complaints, preparing and responding to written discovery, drafting and arguing discovery and dispositive motions in court, settlement negotiations, taking and defending depositions, assisting in trial preparation, arguing motions and examining witnesses in trial, and researching and preparing post-trial motions and appellate briefing. By way of illustration, Mr. Cox has had exceptional success disposing of cases by way of pre-trial motions for summary judgment in both state and federal court.

Mr. Cox was part of the trial team that defensed a twenty million dollar wrongful death claim in Landaverde v.
