Brian T. Dunn is an attorney at Johnny Cochran's law firm in Los Angeles. Dunn was recently head hunted by Cochrane because he is considered the best in the business. He is a specialist in civil rights litigation, with an emphasis on police misconduct cases. He has handled many of Los-Angeles’ most high-profile racially charged police misconduct cases. This includes litigating the fatal 2005 shooting of 13-year-old Devin Brown by a Los Angeles police officer after a high-speed car chase. He also represented the family of 19-year-old Tyisha Miller, shot and killed by Riverside police in 1998. These results not only brought multimillion dollar settlement awards to the plaintiffs, but resulted in unprecedented changes in the departmental policies of the Riverside and El Monte Police Departments. Of his work Dunn says “I knew I wanted to be a civil rights lawyer, I wanted to attack institutional racism and oppression.”
