April 9-10, 2026 | Dallas, TX | Marriott Dallas Uptown
When catastrophic cases hit the docket, you don’t want a sparring partner, you want a finisher. That’s why Lawyer Rumble 2026 is proud to feature John Givens, currently a Trial Lawyer at The Cochran Firm. John brings a heavyweight résumé to Dallas, and he’s known for stepping into the toughest matchups without flinching and finishing fights with emphatic results for clients.
A Catastrophic-Case Closer with a Track Record of Record Numbers
John Givens has been putting points on the board since the earliest rounds of his career, including becoming the youngest lawyer in America to win a jury verdict over $1 million at just 26 years of age. Since then, he’s helped drive headline-making outcomes that matter to personal injury attorneys, like a reported $150 million settlement in a catastrophic truck-crash wrongful death case. He has also played a key role on trial teams that have secured more than $1.1 billion in opioid settlements for the State of Nevada and its communities.
He’s also worked on bellwether litigation against major corporate defendants, showing he’s comfortable fighting in arenas where strategy, science, and jury psychology collide. For lawyers handling trucking, products, or other high-exposure injury claims, John’s career highlights a simple truth: meticulous preparation and fearless execution are what move the needle when the defense is counting on you to back down.
What He Brings to Training Camp
John frequently digs into the nuts and bolts of commercial motor vehicle litigation, products liability, and complex mass-tort strategy — the kind of material that helps you spot leverage early and keep your case theory clean as the fight drags on. Expect a perspective shaped by real-world, high-stakes cases, not hypotheticals.
