Cochran Firm Serving Tulsa and all of Oklahoma.

KEVINN MATTHEWS

 
Tulsa native Kevinn (double-n!) Matthews was a natural choice to lead The Cochran Firm’s expansion into Oklahoma. Prior to his transition into private practice, Kevinn spent 11 collective years working for companies like Williams Production and Exploration (The Williams Companies) as In-House Counsel, while having prior experience as Litigation Attorney for those less fortunate or hurt.  While dubbed as a super-utility player by teammates, his focus on health and safety issues while managing oil field incident litigation made him into a lawyer set on preventing tragedy.
 
WHY HE CARES
 
Some industry workers are more likely to be injured or even killed on the job compared to the average worker. Too often, the cause of a tragedy is completely avoidable and the company responsible for this inexcusable negligence rushes to protect itself rather than advance oil field safety and create a safer workplace, one free of new or repeat incidents.  When companies fail to put people first, Kevinn fiercely represents victims and their families while sending a forceful message of accountability.
