Description:

Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll is one of the largest plaintiff-side litigation firms in the country, with more than 100 attorneys working in a variety of practices across eight offices in the United States. We champion the causes of workers, consumers, small business owners, investors, and whistleblowers - working to deliver corporate reforms and fair markets for the common good.
