A CATASTROPHIC CASE HEAVYWEIGHT
April 9-10, 2026 | Dallas, TX | Marriott Dallas Uptown
Some fighters announce themselves with a single knockout. John Givens did it at 26 — becoming the youngest lawyer in America to win a $1M+ jury verdict. At Lawyer Rumble 2026, he steps into the ring as a Trial Lawyer at The Cochran Firm, bringing the kind of catastrophic case power that has forced some of the biggest corporate defendants in the country to answer the bell.
John’s track record reads like a highlight reel of high-stakes litigation. A $150M settlement in a catastrophic truck-crash wrongful death case. A role in securing $1.1 billion in opioid settlements for the State of Nevada. Bellwether litigation against major corporate defendants that has shaped how mass-tort cases are fought. This is a lawyer who doesn’t just take on big fights — he wins them.
