Cochran is also known as an attorney in the defense of Sean P. Diddy Combs. He was born at Charity Hospital in Shreveport, Louisiana. His parents were Johnnie L. Cochran, Sr., the son of Alonzo Cochran, and the late Hattie Bass Cochran (died 1991), the daughter of Eugene Bass. He was raised in Los Angeles, California.
