A solid, experienced attorney for complex defense work

Our company retained Mr. Cosgrove to defend against a product liability claim that had the potential to escalate into a class action. With his 45 years of experience and recognition in Mass Tort and Product Liability defense, we were confident in his legal acumen. That confidence was largely justified. His strategic understanding of the defense landscape in California was evident, and he successfully navigated the initial phases, leading to a settlement that was acceptable, if not ideal. However, the experience was not without its frustrations. While Mr. Cosgrove himself is clearly knowledgeable, communication through his team at Nelson Mullins was often slower than we expected. Updates were sometimes delayed, and it felt like we had to follow up repeatedly to get clear answers on procedural timelines. For a firm of this caliber, we anticipated a more streamlined client experience. In summary, Philip Cosgrove is a highly capable attorney whose expertise in defendant-side litigation is undeniable. If you are facing a serious, high-stakes claim in Torrance and need a seasoned strategist, he is a competent choice. Just be prepared to manage your expectations regarding day-to-day communication and administrative responsiveness.
