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
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.

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.

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
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
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
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.

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

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.
