6. Johnnie Cochran
Johnnie Cochran was one of the most famous lawyers in our country. He was the lead criminal defense lawyer of O.J. Simpson; he and his team managed to acquit O.J. Simpson, making his defense phrase ‘if the glove does not fit, you must acquit’ world famous or infamous depending on your perspective.
However, Johnnie Cochran represented countless big names out of Los Angeles, including Snoop Dog, Tupac Shakur, Michael Jackson, Stanley Tookie Williams, and Sean Combs.
Whoever worked with him says that Johnnie Cochran was a skilled lawyer with an unbeatable presence in the courtroom. He was truly remarkable, and the passion for justice was also reflected in his net worth ($8 million at the time of his regrettable death).
