Our Favorite Legal Movies D.C. Automobile Accident Lawyer

Everyone loves a good courtroom movie scene!

Here are some of our favorite legal films: 

Erin Brockovich

Based on a true story, Julia Roberts stars as Erin Brockovich. Brockovich becomes a legal assistant. One of her cases is a real estate case where Pacific Gas & Electric Company is offering to purchase someone’s home in Hinkley, CA. The film follows Brockovich’s investigation into PG&E’s dangerous and negligent use of a cancer-causing chemical in their plant, causing groundwater contamination. Brockovich and her law firm eventually start a class action lawsuit.

A Civil Action

favorite legal films dc personal injury lawyer

John Travolta stars as personal injury lawyer Jan Schlichtmann investigating environmental pollution in Woburn, Massachusetts. Schlichtmann sues the owner of local tanneries that released industrial solvents into the local water supply, causing leukemia and other health issues in the town’s citizens and children. 

To Kill a Mockingbird

This film is based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Harper Lee. Gregory Peck stars as Atticus Finch, who is tasked with defending a black man against an unwarranted rape charge in 1930s Alabama. Three of our favorite quotes are: 

  • A court is as sound as its jury.
  • Our courts have their faults, as does any human institution, but in this country our courts are the great levelers, and in courts all men are created equal.
  • The one place where a man ought to get a square deal is in a court-room, be he any colour of the rainbow, but people have a way of carrying their resentments right into a jury box.

A Few Good Men

During a hazing incident, a Marine is killed. Two younger Marines are charged with murder, but their legal team doubts that they committed the act. An ensemble cast featuring Tom Cruise, Demi Moore, and Jack Nicholson, this is the movie that gave life to the quote, “You can’t handle the truth!” and is a must-watch. 

12 Angry Men

A young man is accused of killing his father. Eleven of the twelve jurors immediately say he is guilty. One juror takes on the arduous task of convincing the others to reconsider the evidence, debate reasonable doubt, and confront one another’s biases. The film was added to the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress for being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant” and is often regarded as one of the greatest films ever made. A favorite quote of ours from the film is “It takes a great deal of courage to stand alone even if you believe in something very strongly.”

My experience with Cohen &Cohen was beyond my expectations. Jill did an amazing job with negotiating on my behalf and got me way more money than I anticipated. Thank you for having my back.

To say that I am happy with the outcome of my case is the understatement of the century! Jill Stanley is a BEAST at what she does. That is the only way to explain it. She takes no prisoners. She and her team are very skilled and knowledgeable. I am so happy I trusted them to do their job and rolled with Jill's suggestions. I would choose Jill again 100 times. She settled my case for more than I imagined I would receive. I was literally in tears. It is the best feeling to know my pain isn't for naught. Wayne Cohen and Kristopher Yorke were nothing short of amazing. They have the patience of saints. I'm 100% certain that I got on their last nerves with my frustration and tears at every other call I had with them. Being in pain and wanting to just be able to heal was all I could focus on, but they helped me realize that I also had to focus on the bigger picture (the case) so I could put this piece behind me. As a high-strung individual with anxiety, it was hard for me to not worry and let them do their jobs, but they reassured me all of the time that they had this. To be injured before the start of the pandemic and have to receive regular, weekly treatment while others are able to stay home is anxiety inducing. I was in pain, I was anxious, and I was just hoping it all worked out. It more than worked out. I hope Jill, Siri, and Kris know how much their hard work and "hanging in there" meant to me. I am eternally grateful. I can't recommend you all enough. If you choose this law firm, you won't be sorry!
