A Palm Beach County native, Cox’s esteemed legal career has spanned almost two decades, during which time she has successfully prosecuted hundreds of cases, including first-degree murders, domestic violence felonies, elder abuse, child abuse, and other violent crimes.

After the workday ends, Cox selflessly lends her time and talents in support of community groups, youth programs, and other organizations. She believes “mentors matter” and serves as a mentor for single mothers and other young women.

Cox’s strong leadership and dedicated service to the community have been recognized by numerous organizations. In 2019, Cox received the distinguished Justice Barbara Pariente Award from the Palm Beach County Chapter of the Florida Association for Women Lawyers for her commitment to promoting women in the Palm Beach County legal community and was named ‘Trailblazer of the Year’ by Legacy South Florida Magazine.
