Doug Cox has been a licensed, practicing attorney in Chattanooga since 1987. He received his undergraduate degree from East Tennessee State University and his law degree from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Doug was also an owner/operator of a 75 seat restaurant for years prior to pursuing his law degree.
Doug has been a partner at Dreaden and Cox since 2002. The firm focus has been a general civil practice with emphasis on civil litigation, personal injury, workers compensation, social security disability, construction law and administrative law.
Prior to Dreaden and Cox, Doug served with the Chattanooga City Attorney’s Office from 1990 through 2002. His duties and responsibilities included drafting contracts, resolutions and ordinances, advising departments and administrative boards (Board of Zoning Appeals, Beer and Wrecker Board, Sign Variance Board), and litigation involving the defense of civil suits in state and federal court.
Now entering into his “Act 3”, Doug is keenly aware of his role as an advisor in a fiduciary capacity. He now strives to minimize the potential for future conflicts on his clients, but welcomes being a part of the solution should a conflict arise.
