About Jason
Jason Cox grew up interested in global affairs and security. He earned a Bachelor of Science in International Studies, specializing in Security and Intelligence, from Ohio State University in 2007. He returned to Ohio for law school and received his Juris Doctor from Capital University Law School in 2015.
After law school, Cox built a practice in Ohio courts. He is a member of the Ohio State Bar and holds memberships in the Columbus Bar Association, the Ohio Association for Justice and the American Association for Justice. Those affiliations have kept him connected to trial lawyers and the local legal community as he developed courtroom experience and case-handling skills.
Cox has been associated with firms that carry the Barkan Meizlish name. His offices are listed at Barkan Meizlish DeRose Wentz McInerney Peifer, LLP and Barkan Meizlish, LLP. He has worked alongside attorneys at those firms on matters that reach state trial dockets. Colleagues describe him as steady in court and thorough in preparing cases for trial.
In practice he handles civil matters that require litigation in Ohio courts. He appears in hearings and trials and prepares pleadings and motions. His academic background in international studies gave him an analytical footing, and he has applied that training to fact investigation and strategy in domestic civil disputes.
Cox’s work involves client interviews, evidence gathering and courtroom advocacy. He balances time between courtroom appearances and the paper work that supports trial-ready files. Membership in local and national bar organizations has provided regular opportunities for continuing legal education and peer discussion about trial practice and procedural developments.
Outside the office, he has taken part in bar association programs and events that address trial skills and case law updates. Those activities help him stay current on procedural rules and litigation techniques that affect clients in state court.
He currently practices civil litigation and trial work in Ohio.
