What Clients Say
Thank you for all of your assistance. You make me look better than I ever thought I could. It was great to put all of these details in the hands of someone else and know that the petition would be timely filed and competently handled.
Kurt VragelAttorney at Law
Having them out there is such a relief because I know when I turn a brief over to them, it’s going to be right, it’s going to look good, and it’s going to be done on time.
Judy StoeserParalegalMountain States Legal Foundation
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.
Cathy CrossonAttorney at Law
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.

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.

Thanks again for all of your help with our Brief in Opposition. Your suggestions were pertinent and sensible, and we could not have been more pleased with the printing and presentation of the Brief. We especially appreciated your patience with our many questions concerning the process, and the amazingly quick turnaround.

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

We had a variety of contacts with members of Cockle Legal Briefs that carried common themes: We were treated as valued customers and were given straightforward and honest information at every step of the way. Thanks for the respectful service and for ensuring the brief was timely filed.
Steve DurhamOffice of the Jefferson County Attorney (Kentucky)
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. I hope to require your services in the near future. Stay safe and Happy Holidays! Tim Murphy
