About Us

In early 1990, Greg Coontz and John Neill, long time friends and former classmates at Burleson High School, opened the doors of their new law firm. They welcomed almost any client who walked in, paying or not. The Firm, then known as Coontz & Neill, survived, then prospered, and in just the next few years became one of the most successful litigation and trial law firms in its region.

In 1995, the Firm built and moved into its present building. Greg Coontz became Board Certified (by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization) in both Personal Injury Trial Law and Civil Trial Law.  John Neill developed a Family Law practice that became one of the best known in Tarrant and Johnson Counties.

In December 1998, then Texas Governor George W. Bush appointed John Neill Judge of the 18th District Court of Johnson County, Texas (Judge Neill continues to preside, with distinction, over the 18th District Court today.). The Firm changed its name to The Law Office of J. Greg Coontz and continued its successful litigation practice.

Jeff Cochran joined the Firm in 1999. The Firm continued to enjoy great success. In 2005, Jeff Cochran became a partner and the Firm's name changed to Coontz Cochran.

Today, Coontz Cochran continues to handle various types of cases.  They have the passion, expertise, resources, and technology that are critical to the successful prosecution of such cases. However, the Firm's lawyers also handle complex Family and Domestic Relations cases, as well as Oil & Gas, General Civil, and Business Litigation matters.
