What Clients Say
I wanted to thank Andy [for connecting us to the right resource to resolve our procedural question].… You could have simply done the printing and charged us for it, but instead you helped us get the procedure correct – even though that obviated the filing. Thank you! Lisa A. Mathewson The Law Offices of Lisa A. Mathewson, LLC

One thing is that they’re cheaper. But the second one is, they’ve really got the technology down.” Professor Schnapper says that the third benefit of using Omaha-based Cockle is the company’s proofreading service: “The work is really good. They go over the material with a fine-tooth comb and catch a lot of things.

To all both in and behind the scenes, I received your package confirming the shipment and service of my petition. I thank you and your staff for your professionalism, your attention to every detail, and the flexibility your company afforded me when unforeseen obstacles appeared. I’m happy to know that the quality of your pamphlets will be the first impression received by the court. After ten years of “do it yourself” service, I would not hesitate to retain your company’s services when the need arises, just as I will not hesitate to recommend you to family and friends.

My colleagues and I have been working with Cockle Printing for over twenty-five years. They have produced dozens of legal briefs for us, always with such efficiency and cordiality that a high-pressure task becomes a pleasure. I would not dream of submitting a brief to the Supreme Court without having it vetted by Cockle. Even an attorney with extensive Supreme Court experience can overlook some nuance of the Supreme Court’s rules or practice; Cockle’s intimate familiarity with both written and unwritten rules can spare you an embarrassing mistake. I am always delighted when our opponents have been foolish enough to have their briefs printed elsewhere.

I contacted and compared over 10 companies before selecting Cockle Legal Briefs. As a pro se litigant, Andy Cockle made the overwhelming process seem easy thanks in part to his patience and detailed explanations. The staff produced excellent work. Cockle exceeded my expectations.

I would like to express my thanks to Cockle Legal Briefs and personally to Shari, Andy, and to all that took part in providing me their personal and professional help. This petition has been a decade-and-a-half in the making. I simply could not have managed the filing without Cockle.

This petition is a masterpiece. Don’t ever underestimate what you guys do. I have filed in state appellate and supreme courts, but SCOTUS is a different animal. When someone like me calls you – it’s like planning a wedding or a once in a lifetime event. Thank you.
