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.

Thank you all so much for your help in preparing the Petition for Writ in the Zaunbrecher case on behalf of my clients – the Tunica-Biloxi Tribe, et al.
From the first call to the last, it was a great experience. Your staff is super professional, competent and downright friendly!

Many thanks to everyone who assisted in the filing of my Extraordinary Writ of Mandamus to the U.S. Supreme Court – a special thanks to Matt, who gave extra effort to assure that my brief was accurate! As a pro se litigant, there is stress going it alone. Preparing my brief for the Court was the one phase where I did not feel alone, thanks to you.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
