  During my 15 years with the Cochran Firm, I’ve won record-breaking verdicts for our clients, and have been recognized by my peers as one of Georgia’s top lawyers. Examples of some of my most exemplary work includes: - A $20.1 million verdict in a trucking accident case, which was among the highest in Georgia for that year and remains the highest in the history of Clayton County. It is also the highest verdict achieved by a female led counsel in the state of Georgia. - A $17.5 million verdict for a 19-year-old man who had suffered severe brain damage while under anesthesia. This verdict remains the third highest for medical malpractice in Georgia, and is the highest in DeKalb County. - Selection by a Federal Judge to review Bellwether trials and develop and implement litigation strategy in multi-district class action suit ASR Hip MDL 2197. I have successfully prosecuted medical malpractice, product liability, premises liability, trucking accidents, and multi-district civil liability cases in the areas of catastrophic brain injury, “mild” brain injury, neurosurgery and over 20 other specialty areas.
