Beware of Treacherous Lawyers - The Cochran Firm

Updated with more Cochran Firm Fraud victims May 7, 2015
The (Johnnie) Cochran Firm Frauds

IF you're thinking of contracting with The Cochran Firm, you need information in the twenty-seven (27) URLs at 22 numbered paragraphs below, most of which reveal lawsuits that mainstream media companies will not report for fear that The Cochran Firm would no longer be useful to government agencies and major corporations that are determined to "keep wealth out of black hands"- a CoIntelPro objective.

1.SHAWN CHAPMAN HOLLEY vs. THE COCHRAN FIRM (former Cochran Firm attorney alleged racism, fraud, and sex discrimination)
NPR Interview - Chapman Holley revealed The Cochran Firm's program to defraud African Americans. She says that she and other Cochran Firm attorneys who refused to go along with the program were forced out.

2. COCHRAN FIRM FRAUD IN CA SUPREME COURT
http://marylovesjustice.blogspot.com/2012/10/cochran-firm-fraud-in-ca-court-of.html
The Cochran Firm was sued by black employees who retained The Cochran Firm to represent them against their employer in a race discrimination lawsuit. The Cochran Firm had the workers to sign a confidentiality agreement for mediation. The Cochran firm then removed the signature page from the confidentiality agreement and used it in a settlement agreement without its clients' knowledge or permission and settled their lawsuit for a small sum.

3. JULIAN BOLTON, ESQ vs. THE COCHRAN FIRM
Bolton, the former lead attorney in The Cochran Firm's Memphis office, alleged that The Cochran Firm cheated him of his righteous earnings when it went behind his back to merge with another law firm.

4. THE COCHRAN FIRM DEFRAUDS NATIVE AMERICAN CLIENTS TO SAVE FORD AND EPA in "MANN v. FORD"
The Cochran Firm reassigned its honest attorney who had been working on the case, then settled its client's lawsuit that was worth approximately $3 billion for only $12.5 million for decades of environmental pollution, wrongful deaths, and catastrophic injuries (incl. cancers).

5. NEALS VS. THE COCHRAN FIRM (fraud, malpractice)
http://WrongfulDeathofLarryNeal.com/main.html
The Cochran Firm contracted with Hattie Neal, 80, to represent the survivors of Larry Neal, her mentally and physically disabled son. Larry was a heart patient who was killed after 18 days of secret arrest in Memphis Shelby County Jail. The Cochran Firm did no substantive work regarding Larry's secret arrest and death during the Tennessee statute of limitations, although it sent the family lying updates. When the family sued The Cochran Firm for fraud and malpractice, the firm denied even having a Memphis office or a Georgia office. The Cochran Firm conspired with government officials to keep Larry Neal's secret arrest and murder covered-up.

6. EDWINA DAVIS MUST SURVIVE THE COCHRAN FIRM FRAUD
Edwina Davis was sexually exploited by a Cochran Firm lawyer who also worked against her interest in a civil action. He induced her to withdraw her lawsuit against her employer so that he could amend it. He never re-filed the lawsuit. Instead he settled with the company for a small sum.

7. COCHRAN FIRM PARTNER SUES PARTNER FOR BUYING SEX FROM STAFF
Randy McMurray, Esq., a former Cochran Firm partner, sued The Cochran Firm, alleging RICO Act Racketeering and fraud. The Cochran Firm sued McMurray for using Johnnie Cochran's name for his law practice, saying that ALL of Cochran Firm offices are one business entity. That directly conflicts what the devious lawyers represented during the "Neals vs. The Cochran Firm" cases in Georgia (2004, 2007), where lawyers denied that a Cochran Firm office existed (perjury, fraud, malpractice, racketeering).

8. THE JOHNNIE COCHRAN FIRM DEFRAUDS LATINO CLIENT AND SUES ITS INSURERS
When The Cochran Firm frauds caused its client, Ms. Martinez, to lose hundreds of millions of dollars, she sued for malpractice. The Cochran Firm settled with her, then tried to recoup its payout from its insurance companies. The insurance companies said malpractice insurance is for accidents, not deliberate fraud. See a FORBES report:

9. THE COCHRAN FIRM DEFRAUDS THE ANDERSONS
http://goo.gl/bLPBy (Summary of this lawsuit removed from Lexis Nexus to protect the frauds)
A worker was killed because the seat on the truck he drove for his employer ejected him during an accident. He had reported the malfunctioning seat before, but nothing was done to correct the problem. His family sued for wrongful death through The Cochran Firm, which defrauded the dead worker's survivors presumably to help the trucking company. The man's sons then sued The Cochran Firm in Kentucky.

10. THE COCHRAN FIRM DEFRAUDS THE JACKSONS
http://goo.gl/VGWgt (Summary of this lawsuit removed from Lexis Nexus to protect the frauds)
The Cochran Firm contracted with a victim of traumatic brain injury following her accident with a company vehicle. When her brain surgery did not go well, The Cochran Firm settled her lawsuit for a small sum without consulting her sister, who held the injured woman's Power of Attorney. The sister sued The Cochran Firm for fraud and malpractice in California.

11. COREY WARD: POLICE AND COCHRAN FIRM FRAUD VICTIM
An Atlanta teenager was killed by police for driving a vehicle they claimed they suspected was stolen. It was his mother's Tahoe. The shooter was indicted for Ward's murder but was not tried. This writer was told that The Cochran Firm, which contracted with Ward's family, never filed Ward's wrongful death lawsuit against police in civil court.
http://freespeakblog.blogspot.com/2010/10/corey-ward-police-and-cochran-firm.html

12. COCHRAN FIRM DEFRAUDS KATHRYN JOHNSTON'S SURVIVORS
When Kathryn Johnston, 92, was killed by Atlanta police in 2006, her survivors contracted with The Cochran Firm to represent them in a wrongful death civil action. The Cochran Firm claimed it sued for $18m exactly one year later, but no original lawsuit was filed in GA Sup. Ct. or GA State Court, according to the courts' records. The Cochran Firm settled her wrongful death civil action for just $4.9 million in federal court (where it falsely claimed to have transferred the lawsuit from GA State Ct.) without taking the matter to trial, although two of the police officers were jailed for Johnston's murder. Why concede $13m to help police?

13. SECOND FRAUD AGAINST KATHERINE JOHNSTON'S NIECE, SARAH DOZIER
Dozier followed bad legal advice to defraud Fulton County Probate Court and was sued by Mekel Hutchins after Hezekiah Sistrunk, Esq. convinced his client to omit reporting Hutchin's invoice to Johnston's estate.
See "Mekel Hutchins vs. Murdered Elder's Estate"
Atlanta Journal Constitution (AJC)
http://www.ajc.com/news/news/crime-law/minister-drops-johnston-family-from-lawsuit-takes-/nXYxt/
Sarah Dozier died of Legal Abuse Syndrome. The AJC reports, “Her sons want absolutely nothing to do with this lawsuit,” Hill said, claiming that they believe the stress from the continued litigation contributed to [Dozier's] failing health and eventual demise."
http://freespeakblog.blogspot.com/2013/04/sarah-dozier-dead-cochran-firm-fraud.html

14. CATALANO &PLACHE vs. THE COCHRAN FIRM
Catalano & Plache alleges that The Cochran Firm defrauded the Washington, DC law firm of its fees for a case that the law firm worked on alongside The Cochran Firm frauds. "The defendants engaged in a pattern of conduct to defraud and deceive plaintiff," Catalano argued in the Manhattan Supreme Court suit.
http://freespeakblog.blogspot.com/2012/10/catalano-plache-cochran-firm-fraud.html

15. CHRISTOPHER TUCKER VS. OKLAHOMA CITY POLICE DEPT. AND THE COCHRAN FIRM FRAUDS
When Christopher Tucker paid The Cochran Firm frauds over $12k to represent him regarding a resisting arrest charge, he did not expect to be sent an apparently drunk lawyer who had no legal right to practice law in the Oklahoma City court where Tucker's trial would be held. The seemingly intoxicated lawyer had been assigned by The Cochran Firm's National Director of Lawyers, a man who was himself disbarred in California. The lawyer The Cochran Firm sent to defend Tucker carried no briefcase and had no documents or evidence for Tucker's defense. Tucker lost his case and then sued The Cochran Firm frauds and police who he claims brutalized and Tasered him although he had committed no crime.

16. COCHRAN FIRM FRAUD AGAINST SURVIVORS OF JOHN CRAWFORD, III
Crawford was a 22-year-old black father who was ambushed and killed while talking on the phone at an Ohio Walmart while leaning on a toy rifle he planned to purchase. The Cochran Firm demanded only $75,000 for Crawford's survivors, which says, "Black Lives Don't Matter."
http://cochranfirmfraud.blogspot.com/2014/12/the-cochran-firm-fraud-against-john.html

17. COCHRAN FIRM FRAUD AGAINST CHAVIS CARTER'S SURVIVORS
Carter was a young black man who was arrested in Jonesboro, AR. Police claim that the youth committed suicide after being searched twice while his hands double handcuffed behind his back and he was locked in the back of their police car. Curiously, the dash cam stopped working just prior to Carter's shooting and resumed working right after. The Cochran Firm contracted with his family and never actually filed suit, as far as this writer knows. That is a specialty of theirs - stringing families along while the statute of limitations passes.
http://marylovesjustice.blogspot.com/2012/08/chavis-carter-latest-police-victim.html

18. COCHRAN FIRM FRAUD AGAINST JEROME MURDOUGH'S SURVIVORS
Murdough was a Marine Corps veteran who had difficulty adjusting to civilian life after military service. The homeless man was arrested when seeking a place to stay on a Harlem rooftop. He was literally baked to death in Riker's Island Jail. The Cochran Firm cooked up a small settlement for his wrongful death.

19. REV. VANCE DEFRAUDED BY THE COCHRAN FIRM IN MEDICAL MALPRACTICE CASE
When Rev. Vance's doctor gave him a clean bill of health, causing his cancer to go untreated for two years and advance to stage 3, he retained The Cochran Firm to sue for medical malpractice. He did not know The Cochran Firm would deliberately throw the fight and help his defendant get off the hook, leaving him 100 percent disabled. Rev. Vance seeks an attorney to file legal malpractice against The Cochran Firm frauds. Contact him at LawyerFraudHelp@gmail.com
http://freespeakblog.blogspot.com/2015/04/mr-vance-im-cochran-firm-fraud-victim.html

20. WHISTLEBLOWERS IN LOUISIANA contracted with The Cochran Firm to file a lawsuit against a chemical company. The lead plaintiff, who was a good swimmer and a fisherman since childhood, somehow drowned after notifying his attorney he was going fishing. The lawsuit did not proceed after his demise and other plaintiffs, who worked for the chemical company, feared for their lives. The chemical company changed its name and is still operational. This information came from a relative of the deceased lead plaintiff, who is convinced that her uncle was murdered and that The Cochran Firm may have arranged his death with his intended defendant. http://cochranfirmfraud.blogspot.com/2014/09/whistleblowers-beware-of-cochran-firm.html

21. THE COCHRAN FIRM FRAUD RE ST. LOUIS POLICE KILLING OF STANLEY PARKER
http://freespeakblog.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-cochran-firm-fraud-re-stlouis-pd.html
An African American youth was apparently by a St.Louis police officer in 2002. On the civil trial date in 2006, Rodney Holmes, Esq., The Cochran Firm lawyer, was missing in action. He did not appear in court to defend his client's wrongful death case. Ms. Judy Nashville, mother of the deceased, Stanley Parker, 17, called The Cochran Firm frauds' office and inquired. The Cochran Firm frauds reportedly called Holmes repeatedly but claimed they could not reach the missing attorney. Former police officer Keith McGull had allegedly killed Parker for no reason in the "Michael Brown" Missouri case of 2002. The police department's lawyer reportedly told Nashville that Holmes often stood up his clients. Once again, The Cochran Firm frauds used up their client's statute of limitations then pulled their CoIntelPro trick and "disappeared" - this time on the court date. The court reportedly gave Nashville a continuance, but The Cochran Firm frauds allegedly told their client they had no money remaining for that case.

23. AIMI vs. USA - Mainstream media companies withhold reports about numerous lawsuits against The Cochran Firm, but Mary Neal reads legal journals to reveal the CoIntelPro program to the public. As a result, her home is surrounded by citizens police, and her phones and computers are taken over to sabotage communication. She experiences censorship using Internet services, as documented in "Justice Gagged" blog at http://JusticeGagged.blogspot.com and on film at YouTube channel JKEMPP703. Larry Neal, her brother, was a mentally ill African American man whose secret arrest and murder The Cochran Firm fraud prevented from going to court in a wrongful death civil action against Memphis Shelby County Jail. As a result, 100 mentally ill people and/or their families or survivors, as well as victims of people with untreated mental illness and addictions, plan a lawsuit in International Court in 2015 against the USA for crimes against humanity through an organization Neal founded called "Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill ("AIMI"). See "AIMI vs. USA" online at http://AIMI-HumanRights.blogspot.com

24. Cochran Firm fraud victims seek a lawyer to sue The Cochran Firm for RICO Act Racketeering against its fraud victims. The class action may have hundreds of victims, with more being added as they get through the embargo around the communication of Mary Neal, lead plaintiff, to tell her how The Cochran Firm defrauded them.

The Johnnie Cochran Firm defrauded Sarah Dozier again. This fraud is one that her sons feel led to her death in December 2012.

We had to switch to FreeConferenceCall to discuss The Cochran Firm fraud tonight due to interference at +BlogTalkRadio. TRY to join us at (605)562-0020, Meeting I.D. Code: 992-212-650. If that fails, the backup number is (805)360-1075. Judy Nash, a St. Louis Cochran Firm fraud victim, was joined on air by Chris Tucker, an Oklahoma Cochran Firm fraud victim. All three of our cases involved #police . The signal was very horrible. We do not know whether hackers attacked us through Blogtalkradio or the guests' phone numbers. If we are not allowed to connect and record their revelations about The Cochran Firm's frauds against justice for #AfricanAmericans tonight, we will do it at another time. There is no stopping us now. "We're going on." ~MLK.

Complaint to CBSNews.com re: Bias Reports re The Cochran Firm

When will CBS expose The Cochran Firm's frauds against courts of law, its African American clients, former attorneys and partners, and partnering law firms? Using Tiffany Cochran Edwards' face on this CoIntelPro-like program to "keep wealth out of Black hands" will NOT be an effective cover-up. The frauds are too numerous to continue undisclosed. See "Cochran Firm Fraud" website at http://CochranFirmFraud.blogspot.com for information on many of the lawsuits and complaints against that law firm alleging racism, fraud, malpractice, sex discrimination, etc.

In March 2016, United States District Court of Central California ruled that The Cochran Firm has "unclean hands" and does NOT meet the requirements to be called "a national law firm." That matter is now before the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. Yet CBS failed to report this to the public and instead plans to put forward an image of The Cochran Firm being some heroic law firm and featuring Johnnie Cochran's daughter - who apparently works in a law office that had Georgia Superior Court pronounce it NONEXISTENT as a Cochran Firm law office to avoid lawsuit by one of the defrauded clients. Hattie and Mary Neal sued The Cochran Firm after it deliberately withheld legal work as the wrongful death attorneys of Larry Neal, a mentally ill African American man, age 54, who was secretly arrested and murdered in Memphis Shelby County Jail in 2003. Thanks to The Cochran Firm's perjury (denouncing the Atlanta office's association with the national law firm and with any sister offices (Memphis)), The Cochran Firm avoided accountability for its fraud.

Ever since Johnnie Cochran's death, this law firm that operates falsely in his name has defrauded literally hundreds of families of color, particularly after corporate wrongdoing and police murders. CBS is disgusting to withhold press reports about The Cochran Firm's legal troubles but instead to promote the firm by using Cochran's daughter as the public face of the firm. See "Beware of Treacherous Lawyers - The Cochran Firm" at http://freespeakblog.blogspot.com/2013/01/beware-of-treacherous-lawyers-cochran.html -- This defrauded client will update the list with numerous other lawsuits and formal complaints against The Cochran Firm this week.

I would appreciate it if CBS would not do more to perpetuate the cover-up regarding this CoIntelPro law firm.

The preceding report went to CBS on January 28 at 1:26pmEST from Mary Neal regarding its upcoming interview on "Just A Minute" http://www.cbs46.com/category/300708/just-a-minute with @Tiffany Cochran Edwards (whose name #hackers probably prevented from linking here). She spoke about Johnnie Cochran's televised defense of OJ Simpson, which propelled Cochran to superstar status as a lawyer, particularly among Blacks. Cochran has been dead for nearly 11 years, and providing adequate legal defense for criminal charges and civil action cases is the last thing The Firm is interested in doing now, MyCocoaFab, so your coverage of Edwards is unacceptable. http://cocoafab.com/johnnie-cochrans-daughter-reflects-on-the-oj-trial-and-death-threats-in-deeply-personal-facebook-post/ Tell the real truth, or just be quiet.
