What Clients Say
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.
Joseph RaimondoPro Se Petitioner
I have come to trust Cockle’s professionalism, reliability, and excellent customer service through repeated good experiences with them preparing petitions and briefs to the United States Supreme Court.

Andy – All of this is exactly why Landmark Legal Foundation ONLY trusts Cockle with our briefs. Not only do you do everything right, you make our briefs better! Pete Hutchison, Landmark Legal Foundation

Honestly, I don’t know where to start, but I will begin by thanking Andy, who gave me a chance and accepted my job. Without knowing what to expect, I picked up the phone and took a leap of faith. I picked up the phone and hung it up three different times. The fourth time, my Guardian Angel whispered to me and said: ‘Joseph, you must call Cockle,’ and assured me that this would be one of the best calls I’d ever make. Then, I dialed the number. The angel on the receiving end – after an introduction and the reason for my call, transferred me to Andy. Andy, like my Guardian Angel, was reassuring. From that first call, what I thought would be a difficult process, was simplified. Every person I spoke with handled my call with a professional touch and in the end, the work was masterpiece. I’m glad I called Cockle for my petition for writ of certiorari to the United States Supreme Court and exceedingly thank all of you for being the best at what you do! I’m so happy that I called Cockle. Remain Blessed.

I want to thank you and your company for all of your assistance. I have been practicing for over 40 years and have been involved in over 100 cases, and your company provided the most helpful and responsive services that I have ever experienced. Your dedication to making my brief as perfect as it could be was extraordinary. The work was spotless and timely.

This is my third time working with Cockle on a cert petition and you guys have always been awesome. I would not consider working with anyone else on my Supreme Court filings. Paulo R. Lima, Esq. Russo Appellate Firm, P.A.

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.

This is to express my appreciation for the expertise and professionalism of your team in processing our amicus brief. The initial proofreading team did a first rate job. I was very impressed by the attention to detail in the second round of edits done by Shelley and Mary Ann. Everyone was most helpful. You have a terrific organization. Many thanks.

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.

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
