Cogdell Law Firm

Our job is to get justice for clients in a system that doesn’t always seem just.

WHEN FACING CRIMINAL CHARGES, LIVES CAN BE RUINED and businesses can be lost. With that much on the line, you need more that just an "experienced lawyer" or a "former prosecutor with connections".

From the very start, you need lawyers with significant experience representing executives, doctors, lawyers, public officials and others facing the same predicament.

You need the Cogdell Law Firm.

Dan Cogdell is a trial lawyer, plain and simple. And he brings proven courtroom experience to a wide range of white-collar cases, including securities fraud, mortgage fraud, financial fraud, foreign corrupt practices, health care fraud and Medicare fraud.

During the past 25 years, Cogdell has been among the most sought-after criminal defense lawyers in the nation, known for taking on----and winning----the tough white-collar cases.

Perhaps most notable on the firm’s impressive track record is the only acquittal of an Enron defendant in their original trial. Cogdell has also secured the sole acquittal among the mortgage fraud trials involving a former Houston mayoral candidate, and a not-guilty verdict in one of the nation’s first medical "psychiatric fraud"cases. From representing the first Stanford Financial executive charged in the government’s investigation of R. Allen Stanford’s financial companies to recently defending a Houston doctor in one of the largest medical fraud cases in city history, Cogdell is continually called on to handle the biggest and toughest cases in Texas.

That willingness to go to trial and a history of success in the courtroom are the hallmarks of our firm.

Unfortunately, many lawyers focus on cooperation with prosecutors rather than defending their client. But not our firm. Our lawyers from day one, focus on protecting the client, and we know that true justice is found in a courtroom far more often than in settlement negotiations.
