JOSEPH W. COTCHETT

According to the National Law Journal, Joseph W. Cottchett is considered one of the best trial attorneys in the United States by both plaintiffs and counsel. He has been named one of the 100 Most Influential Lawyers in America for the Past 15 Years, and in 2013 he was named Northern California's Most Influential Attorney by Super Lawyers as his colleagues call him.

As reported in the San Francisco/Los Angeles Daily Journal, he is hailed as "one of the best forensic strategists in the state" with a career in representing losers against strong interests. He is a fearless bailiff and has tried two cases simultaneously (once in the morning and once in the afternoon) and won both cases in the San Diego Supreme Court in 1984. His clients range from large corporations to groups like consumer coalitions, but for Cottchett, things have to be right.

In 2003, the San Francisco Chronicle rated him one of the best in the Bay Area. Known primarily as the plaintiff's attorney, many of his cases are brought on behalf of victims of fraud and have a widow and orphan vibe.” Cottchett has consistently been named one of California's most influential attorneys, named one of the Top 10 State Litigation Attorneys by the Legal Press, and has been featured in every issue of America's Best Lawyers since its inception. During his 45-year career as a lawyer, he has handled more than 100 cases leading to verdicts and has settled hundreds of cases, winning numerous jury verdicts, from multi-million dollar indictment jury verdicts to multi-attorney verdicts in complex civil cases.
