Founding Partner at The Cox Pradia Law Firm, P.L.L.C.
Troy J. Pradia is a founding Partner of The Cox Pradia Law Firm, P.L.L.C., and has been licensed to practice law since 2001. Pradia was educated on how to be an effective litigator from his mentors Craig Washington, Sarnie Randle, Jr. and Theadore Andrews. Throughout his career, Pradia has remained humble and appreciative of all the people who helped shape his legal career. “TP,” as Troy is affectionately known, has represented the common people who needed a hand in tackling the large corporations and Fortune 500 Insurance Companies. Early on in his legal career, Pradia started his own law firm, The Law Offices of Troy J. Pradia, and had tremendous success.
In 2008, Pradia began litigating personal injury cases with Jonathan H. Cox, and in 2010 they finally joined forces and created The Cox Pradia Law Firm, P.L.L.C. The Cox Pradia Law Firm, P.L.L.C. then introduced a legal marketing brand, BigCityAccidents.com, to the Houston community to make people aware of a competent law firm who could make those “TOO BIG TO FAIL” corporations pay for their negligent acts. The Cox Pradia Law Firm, P.L.L.C. and BigCityAccidents.com have assisted thousands of clients in their quest to receive just compensation for their personal injuries. The goal of The Cox Pradia Law Firm, P.L.L.C. is to become the largest African American personal injury law firm in the State of Texas over the next five years. Our Motto is “WE ARE TRIAL LAWYERS AND NOT CLAIMS ADJUSTERS AND WE WILL TAKE THE FIGHT TO THE COURTS.”
