John J. Givens is a trial lawyer with The Cochran Firm and is a Dothan, Alabama native. His practice focuses exclusively on plaintiff civil litigation with a concentration in the areas of commercial motor vehicle litigation and products liability litigations.

In one recent example, John represented a family from Mississippi that was traveling through Texas when their family car was rear-ended by an 18-wheeler, tragically killing two young boys and injuring their mother severely - after more than a year of hard-fought litigation the case was settled for 150 million dollars. In addition to individual incident jury trials, John has served as a member of Bellwether trial teams on behalf of plaintiffs in mass actions, including the C8 litigation against DuPont that resulted in a $670.7 million-dollar settlement for the Plaintiffs after several successful jury verdicts.
