Hardison & Cochran, a North Carolina law firm headquartered in Raleigh, has announced that three of its attorneys have been included in the 2027 edition of The Best Lawyers in America. The recognition underscores the firm's ongoing commitment to providing exceptional legal representation to clients across the state.
The attorneys honored are Benjamin T. Cochran, recognized for the 14th consecutive year in Workers' Compensation Law – Claimants; Jack Hardison, recognized for the 2nd year in Workers' Compensation Law – Claimants; and Rick W. Scott, recognized for the 7th consecutive year in Criminal Defense: General Practice. These accolades reflect the individual expertise and dedication of these lawyers in their respective fields.
Managing partner Benjamin T. Cochran expressed pride in the recognition but emphasized that the firm's primary focus remains on client service. "We're proud of this recognition, but our focus remains where it has always been: helping our clients through difficult situations and giving them the best representation we possibly can," Cochran said. "People come to us when they're facing serious problems because of an injury, and those problems can have a real impact on their lives and their families. We take that responsibility seriously, and that commitment to our clients is what drives the work we do every day."
The Best Lawyers in America is the oldest and most respected lawyer ranking service in the world. For 40 years, it has helped individuals identify qualified legal representation in unfamiliar jurisdictions or specialties. The rankings are based entirely on peer review, with nominated lawyers voted on by currently recognized Best Lawyers in the same geographic and practice areas. This process captures the consensus opinion of leading lawyers about the professional abilities of their colleagues.
Hardison & Cochran has built a reputation for advocating for injured individuals and their families for over 40 years. The firm has offices in Raleigh, Fayetteville, Greensboro, Wilmington, Greenville, and Dunn, allowing it to serve clients throughout North Carolina. Its practice areas include workers' compensation, personal injury, auto accident injury, Social Security Disability, and VA Disability law.
The firm's attorneys have been consistently recognized by Best Lawyers, and the firm itself has been named to the Best Law Firms list for multiple consecutive years. These awards demonstrate the firm's ongoing dedication to providing exceptional service and client advocacy.
