My experience with Mr. Cobos was related to a class action matter where our company was a minor party. His efforts as they related to our company were limited in scope. Even though we were a small player in a much larger matter I found Mr. Cobos to be very accessible, very competent, and very concerned with correctly implementing his portion of the overall process. He was straight forward, prepared, and diligent. His professional demeanor left you with the distinct impression that you were in good hands.
