Founded in 1998, Barry Scheck, Peter Neufeld, and the late Johnnie Cochran, Jr. formed Cochran Neufeld & Scheck, LLP, to leverage their vast collective trial experience in service of social justice. Together, they pioneered key civil rights legal theories and strategies. Today the firm, now Neufeld Scheck & Brustin, LLP, has one of the most renowned civil rights practices in the country. In addition, the firm accepts complex civil cases on behalf of individuals and groups of plaintiffs against municipal and private defendants.
Led by nationally-recognized trial lawyers Barry Scheck and Peter Neufeld, NSB has been winning tough, high-stakes cases for plaintiffs around the country for over fifteen years. We know that focusing on a small number of important cases, staffing them with a team of committed lawyers, and devoting sufficient resources to match even the most well-funded wrongdoer is the way to get outstanding results.
