James William Cobb's Lawyer Endorsements
"I have followed the issue of public access to records in the Joey Watkins case, covered by the Undisclosed Podcast. I heard Mr. Cobb's oral argument before the Georgia Supreme Court in that case. It was quite possibly the finest example of appellate advocacy I've heard; it was on par with the best SCOTUS appellate advocates."
