Hardison & Cochran, a North Carolina law firm headquartered in Raleigh, has announced that three of its attorneys have been listed in the 2027 edition of The Best Lawyers in America.

Scott, who has been listed for the 7th consecutive year in Criminal Defense: General Practice.
“We're proud of this recognition, but our focus remains where it has always been: helping our clients through difficult situations and giving them the best representation we possibly can,” says managing partner Benjamin T. Cochran. “People come to us when they're facing serious problems because of an injury, and those problems can have a real impact on their lives and their families. We take that responsibility seriously, and that commitment to our clients is what drives the work we do every day.”
