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.
Aaron D. Van OortCo-Chair, Appellate Advocacy PracticeFaegre & Benson LLP
Please convey my extreme gratitude to the proofreaders for their careful work. What may seem to be a mere technical matter, is not at all, but is quite important to the persuasiveness of my presentations to the Court.
Chris GekasGekas Law, LTD
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.
Judy StoeserParalegalMountain States Legal Foundation
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.
Mike ButterworthPhelps Dunbar LLP
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
I don’t know whether you and your team are aware that, indeed, the U.S. Supreme Court granted our petition and remanded the case for further consideration. I forgot to timely express my appreciation. Belatedly, I want to reach out and thank your team members for helping us make this very important achievement. Yes, “Better Briefs Win.”
Curtis L. Kennedy
When we have a question about Supreme Court practices, we know we can call Cockle and get the right answer. We know we can trust their experience in dealing with the Court, its rules and personnel. The team at Cockle has repeatedly come through for us, including under tight deadlines. Thank you Cockle!
Mike Persoon
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.
