With a flourishing diversity among the clients, we represent individuals, small businesses, public entities, shareholders, consumers, unions and multinational corporations in various cases irrespective of their backgrounds. We have conserved our legacy built over decades of consistent service anchored in a strong work ethic and dedication to the society that has made us.
Joseph W. Cotchett, the founder of Cotchett, Pitre & McCarthy, LLP, is the pillar on which the firm stands firmly to the ground, spreading roots wide into U.S. soil. A highly esteemed attorney whose reputation precedes him, he has been instrumental in various landmark cases in the history of personal injury law, including the Swine Flu litigation.
