Johnnie Cochran   Since the beginning of his career in 1963, Johnnie L. Cochran, Jr. has been making history both inside and outside of the courtroom. As one of the nation's leading authorities on criminal justice, Cochran is at the forefront of the top criminal lawyers in this country. From Michael Jackson, Reginald Denny, and the Oklahoma City case to the world renowned O.J. Simpson trial of the decade, Cochran has been making headlines. In all, Cochran has won more than $40 million for his clients - and about $1 million annually for himself.
