What law firm bills itself as the country's "largest personal injury plaintiffs tort law firm"? Before you go running to Google, consider these hints:
First, it's not Milberg Weiss. While it's true that Milberg generally represents plaintiffs, does its share of tort law, and has 100 more lawyers than the right answer (according to the claims on the respective firms' websites), Milberg focuses more on class actions than personal injury. (And calls itself "the world's leading class action firm.")
Second, it's not Baker & McKenzie. At 3214 attorneys, B&K is larger than even Milberg Weiss (by 1507%), but it's a defense firm, dummy.
Third, the firm I'm thinking of has offices in California, New York, Alabama, Illinois, Georgia, Tennessee, and Washington, D.C., but their St. Louis office is "under construction."
The hints don't help? Okay, run to Google. The first winning answer can have my old copy of "Melvin Belli: My Life on Trial." (If you don't post the answer by tomorrow, I might have to do it myself).
Johnny, Johnny, Johnny - as in Cochran. I should know because I often get people who have contacted that firm who want to ask a question or two of another law firm.

That's *Johnnie* Cochran to you, Mr. Tort Guy. But I almost made the same mistake myself, so I'm awarding you the prize.
