The Cochran Firm is a national personal injury and criminal defense law firm founded by legendary attorney Johnnie L. Cochran, Jr. With regional offices across the country and a team of some of experienced and aggressive personal injury attorneys and criminal defense lawyers, The Cochran Firm has developed a well-earned reputation for tireless and effective legal representation. While The Cochran Firm is a national law firm with multiple attorneys, we handle each case we take with equal dedication and tenacity. Your attorney may draw on the collective experience of his or her partners, but will continue to work personally with you throughout all legal proceedings. In the years following their founding partner’s death in 2005, The Cochran Firm has continued to follow Mr. Cochran’s mission of defending the rights of the oppressed and the disadvantaged. The Cochran Firm has been recognized nationally for their litigation achievements in the courtroom. Through these efforts, the attorneys with The Cochran Firm are committed in their continued fight for social justice by impacting the law, communities and industry practices.

Founded in 1990 by Mark Lanier, The Lanier Law Firm is committed to addressing client concerns with effective and often untraditional solutions. Our diverse clients have one common trait: they need serious and sound legal representation, whether they are physically injured or involved in a business dispute. With offices in Houston, New York City, and Los Angeles, the firm is composed of outstanding attorneys with trial experience that includes high-profile cases involving pharmaceutical liability, business fraud, serious personal injuries, dangerous products, and toxic exposure. The firm was one of the first in the nation to pursue major claims involving mesothelioma, conducting extensive research that continues to support our decades of work in this area. Most recently, Mark Lanier served as lead trial counsel in securing a $650.6 million judgment against CVS, Walgreens and Walmart for their roles in failing to control the oversupply and diversion of deadly prescription opioids in two Ohio counties. Much of the evidence and production of documents in the case will support scores of other lawsuits that are pending in similar litigation across the nation. Each year Mr. Lanier hosts a Trial Academy attended by hundreds of attorneys to learn about his successful techniques, with proceeds from the event supporting a humanitarian organization in Latin America. Although significant legal victories are a trademark of The Lanier Law Firm, our primary focus remains, in the words of Mark Lanier, "to provide the highest quality legal care delivered in an honest, professional manner to enrich the lives or businesses of our clients."
