I was raised in San Antonio, Texas, where I played & marched in my high school band, rode & showed a family friend's Arabian horse, and somehow survived my hair and fashion choices of the 1980s. I still, however, firmly adore and defend the decade's music. I attended Texas A&M University in College Station for my undergraduate degree and all of the enriching non-academic "education" that being a Fightin' Texas Aggie involves. I helped build Bonfires. I sang in the Aggie Women's Chorus. I pledged a sorority. I spent my senior summer interning with the Walt Disney World College Program in Orlando, Florida. In case you're wondering, yes-- it was pretty magical! Also, making soft pretzels and serving ice-cream in Pinocchio Village-themed lederhosen all Florida Summer long is exhausting. In 1996 I moved to Austin where I spent the next ten years with companies including Dell, Inc., Four Seasons Hotels, and AT&T Wireless. I worked in a variety of sales, customer service, and tech support roles. Then, in a plot twist that would change my future path, I earned my paralegal certificate and took a job as a case manager for a local Social Security disability attorney. I heard things. I saw things, I learned things. About how very broken our Social Security disability system is. That experience revealed the prevalent need for Social Security disability claimant representation and led me to attend Texas Wesleyan University School of Law in Ft. Worth-- now Texas A&M School of Law. Since becoming licensed to practice in 2010, I have exclusively represented disability claimants through the SSA's administrative appeals process. Previously, I served people living in Texas. Now in our post-Covid world, I can represent clients not only in Texas but several other states as well, through remote telephonic and video hearing appearances.

After practicing for almost a decade at well-respected Dallas law firms, Andrew J. Anderson decided to form Anderson Legal Group, P.C. The focus of the new firm was to assist clients in family law related matters (such as divorce, custody, adoptions, premarital agreements, wills and child support issues) and/or criminal defense matters. These particular cases are extremely stressful for the client and often plague clients until they are resolved. Mr. Anderson explains all options available to the clients, which empowers them to make good decisions during these difficult times. Mr. Anderson supplemented his legal education with an extensive hearing and trial practice. Specifically, he has tried numerous cases before the Judges of Tarrant, Dallas, Denton, and Collin county courts. Further, Mr. Anderson often writes and presents seminars to teach other attorneys through the Texas Bar Association’s Continuing Legal Education programs. Mr. Anderson is also Board Certified in Family Law which is the highest award for specialized competence issued by the State Bar of Texas and has been recognized as a Super Lawyer since 2011. Mr. Anderson represents clients by listening to their goals, and then creating a specifically tailored plan for achieving their goals as quickly as possible. He firmly believes that clients must be thoroughly informed, and then he strives to develop and present all possible options. When an attorney offers all possible options, along with the potential outcomes, it allows the client to make informed decisions about their case. Due to Mr. Anderson’s extensive courtroom experience, clients are confident that if their case cannot be resolved before trial, that Mr. Anderson will work to receive all possible relief from the Judge. The majority of Mr. Anderson’s caseload involves complex divorce matters with substantial assets. Typically, these cases deal with businesses, Family Limited Partnerships, Sports Contracts, or complex benefits for officers of large corporations. Mr. Anderson structures the property transactions to obtain the best possible results for his clients. Often these complex divorce matters also have emotionally charged custody litigation. Mr. Anderson is able to objectively craft a plan to obtain as much time with the children as the client desires. Mr. Anderson also represents clients in criminal matters. While typically these cases stem from divorce and family law litigation, this is not always the case. Specifically, Mr. Anderson deals with Federal and State authorities mainly dealing with charges regarding: drug possession, pornography, abduction, alcohol, sex offenses, assault and weapons charges. Mr. Anderson is respected by Texas attorneys and judges. To evidence this, Mr. Anderson has received the highest peer review rating as established by Martindale-Hubble (for both ethics and legal competence). Further, Mr. Anderson is a member of the College of the State Bar of Texas which is a prestigious group of lawyers that pride themselves in exceeding the minimum requirements for continuing legal education.

Harvey L. Cox has been practicing law in Texas since 1990 and has extensive experience working with families and businesses. He limits his practice to estate planning and asset protection planning. Harvey earned two Bachelor’s degrees, one from Dallas Bible College in 1983 and the other from Criswell College in 1987. Between those two degrees, Harvey did work on a Master’s of Theology degree at Dallas Theological Seminary. He left Dallas Seminary in 1987 to pursue a career in law, graduating from the University of Houston Law Center in 1989. (Yes, there is a story there but it’s way too long for this space so feel free to ask Harvey about it when you’re in the office or have him on the phone.)
