What Clients Say
I wanted to thank you for your work on my recent brief in Horne. You were far more affordable than other options I explored. You did great work. And you and your colleagues were very helpful along the way (particularly useful as this was my first-ever SCOTUS brief).
Baylen LinnekinExecutive DirectorKeep Food Legal Foundation
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.

Mike Persoon
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.
Nina Eva Hajda, pro se
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.

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 have used Cockle for dozens and dozens of briefs and they have done a superb job every time. They are experts on the Supreme Court’s rules and ensure that everything is in compliance with them. They are amazingly fast and always truly a pleasure to work with.
Erwin ChemerinskyDeanUC Berkley School of Law
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
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.
