The Cochran Firm Chicago

What The Cochran Firm Chicago does

The Cochran Firm Chicago is the Chicagoland regional office of The Cochran Firm, a national personal injury and medical malpractice law practice founded in 1982 and headquartered historically in Dothan, Alabama. The Chicago office, established in 2021, serves individuals throughout the Chicagoland Area and Illinois in cases involving motor vehicle accidents, medical malpractice, catastrophic personal injury, wrongful death, civil rights violations, and criminal defense. The firm is staffed by four named Illinois-licensed attorneys (Melvin Brooks, Victor Henderson, Rebecca Fournier, and David Katahira, with Katahira also licensed in Washington, DC) and operates from a single Chicago location. The practice is positioned as aggressive trial-oriented representation within a 40-year-old national brand, with documented case outcomes including a $9.1 million jury verdict.

The firm operates on a contingency fee model typical of U.S. personal injury practices, with no fee collected unless compensation is recovered through settlement or verdict, and free initial case evaluations are offered to lower the barrier to intake. Go-to-market is consumer-direct and intake-driven: a 24/7 toll-free call center (1-800-THE-FIRM), a local Chicago line (312-262-2880), website contact forms, and an active Facebook/Instagram presence funnel prospects into a case evaluation that determines representation. There is no proprietary technology stack, no disclosed software products, no AI/ML tooling, and no partnerships or alliances; the practice relies on the national Cochran Firm brand, attorney expertise, and traditional case acquisition channels for differentiation. Revenue, headcount trend, ownership structure, and external funding are not disclosed, consistent with a privately held professional services firm.
