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 highlights the firm's sustained commitment to providing top-tier legal representation to clients across the state.
The attorneys recognized are Benjamin T. Cochran, who has been listed for the 14th consecutive year in Workers' Compensation Law – Claimants; Jack Hardison, who is now in his second year in the same category; and Rick W. Scott, who has been recognized for the seventh consecutive year in Criminal Defense: General Practice. These accolades reflect the firm's expertise in handling complex legal matters that significantly impact the lives of their clients.
"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 managing partner Benjamin T. 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. For 40 years, it has assisted individuals in identifying qualified legal counsel, particularly in unfamiliar jurisdictions or specialized practice areas. The methodology relies entirely on peer review: lawyers nominated for consideration are voted on by currently recognized Best Lawyers within the same geographic and practice area, capturing the consensus opinion of leading attorneys about their colleagues' professional abilities.
Hardison & Cochran has built a reputation over four decades for advocating on behalf of injured individuals and their families. The firm concentrates its practice in workers' compensation, personal injury, auto accident injury, Social Security Disability, and VA Disability law. With offices in Raleigh, Fayetteville, Greensboro, Wilmington, Greenville, and Dunn, their attorneys serve clients across the entire state.
This latest recognition adds to the firm's list of honors, including multiple attorneys listed in Best Lawyers and recognition by Best Law Firms for consecutive years. These awards underscore the firm's ongoing dedication to exceptional service and client advocacy. For more information about the firm and its practice areas, visit www.lawyernc.com.
