Attorney Profiles
At Coontz Cochran, we develop a firm understanding of the exact nature of the circumstances and environment surrounding your claim. We then layout the strategy we think will be most effective and efficient for a positive bottom-line result, given the facts and circumstances. We are trial lawyers, not just paperwork litigators. All of our efforts are designed and carried out with the ultimate goal being to convince a jury of the worthiness of the client’s claim. We are also headquartered in Burleson which locates us between the county seats of Fort Worth and Cleburne and we frequently assist clients all throughout Tarrant and Johnson Counties.
