Hardison & Cochran, a prominent North Carolina law firm, has announced that three of its attorneys have been recognized in the 2027 edition of The Best Lawyers in America. Benjamin T. Cochran, Jack Hardison, and Rick W. Scott have each earned a place on the prestigious list, underscoring the firm's reputation for skilled legal representation in workers' compensation and criminal defense.
Benjamin T. Cochran, who serves as managing partner, has been recognized for the 14th consecutive year in the field of Workers' Compensation Law – Claimants. Jack Hardison received his second recognition in the same practice area, while Rick W. Scott earned his seventh consecutive honor in Criminal Defense: General Practice. These accolades highlight the firm's sustained commitment to excellence across multiple legal disciplines.
"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," said Cochran. "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, having helped individuals identify qualified legal counsel for 40 years. The recognition is based entirely on peer review, with nominees 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, making the honor particularly meaningful.
Hardison & Cochran has built a long-standing record of advocating for injured individuals and their families across North Carolina. Headquartered in Raleigh, the firm also has offices in Fayetteville, Greensboro, Wilmington, Greenville, and Dunn. For over 40 years, their experienced attorneys have concentrated on workers' compensation, personal injury, auto accident injury, Social Security Disability, and VA Disability law, earning a reputation for skillful representation and trusted guidance during life's most challenging moments.
The firm's attorneys have consistently been recognized by Best Lawyers, and the firm itself has been named to Best Law Firms for multiple consecutive years. These distinctions reflect the firm's ongoing dedication to providing exceptional service and client advocacy.
