With a rich legacy of diligent representation and credible legal guidance of over 50 years, Cotchett, Pitre & McCarthy, LLP, is a well-reputed law firm with a branch in Santa Monica, California. We have long been a forerunner in the field of personal injury law, along with practice centered around consumer class action litigation, securities action and employment law. Our extensive scope encompasses areas involving commercial litigation, false claims, intellectual property rights and corporate governance.
Over the years, we have forged an untainted reputation grounded on trust and reliability through our diligent efforts and unwavering commitment to our work. The many landmark cases that we have successfully litigated and obtained compensations for our clients stand testament to the quality of service provided at our firm. Some of the most famous cases that have gone down in the history of mass torts in the nation, such as the Swine Flu litigation and those against the manufacturers of lead paint, were led by our finest attorneys.
The visionary founder of our firm, Joseph W. Cotchett, is the captain of the unyielding ship that has stood the test of time and legal wars.
