Temple and Johnnie co-counseled with the Johnnie Cochran Firm to litigate a multimillion-dollar claim against local police officers for life-altering injuries resulting from a wrongful hot-pursuit accident.. Over Johnnie’s career, he has litigated personal injury claims against giant corporations like Enterprise Rent-a-car and Marriot Hotels to name a few. His victories include appellate victories against Wells Fargo for predatory lending claims as well as medical malpractice claims against huge hospitals and negligent medical staff. His experience working on the inside and with large corporations gives Johnnie an edge in legal battles against big companies. Johnnie started focusing on medical malpractice in birth injury cases after watching a family friend’s baby boy suffer from debilitating brain injuries caused by medical malpractice during the birthing process.
