Outstanding Representation in a Complex Discrimination Case

The Law Office of Jenny Cochrane provided exceptional representation in a highly complex court case involving gender and disability discrimination. Jenny is extremely knowledgeable about both federal and Washington State court procedures, as well as the legal standards and precedent developed by the ...Ninth Circuit and the U.S. Supreme Court. She handled every stage of the case with skill, preparation, and confidence. We were facing one of the largest and most powerful entities, but Jenny was never intimidated. She carefully developed the evidence, presented strong legal arguments, and fought relentlessly to protect our rights. We ultimately won the case and achieved an outcome that exceeded what we had originally hoped for. Jenny is a strong trial lawyer, an experienced advocate, and someone who genuinely cares about her clients. We strongly recommend the Law Office of Jenny Cochrane to anyone facing a serious discrimination, disability-rights, employment, or civil litigation matter.

Thank you! Thoroughly recommend Jenny and the team.

We hired the Law Office of Jenny Cochrane after a large tree fell onto our property and caused severe structural damage. Before the incident, we had repeatedly complained to the HOA about the dangerous condition of the tree, but the board failed to investigate or take meaningful action. The resulting... repair costs exceeded $100,000, and the HOA initially refused to accept responsibility. Jenny carefully reviewed the HOA records, our prior complaints, photographs, repair estimates, inspection reports, and other evidence. She developed a strong legal strategy, held the HOA board accountable for ignoring a known safety risk, and helped us pursue the compensation needed to repair our home. Thanks to Jenny’s persistence, attention to detail, and strong representation, we were able to recover the money for the structural repairs. She was responsive, straightforward, and fully committed to protecting our rights throughout a very stressful dispute. I highly recommend the Law Office of Jenny Cochrane to anyone dealing with HOA negligence, property damage, unsafe trees, structural repairs, or complex HOA litigation in Kirkland, Bellevue, or the greater Eastside Washington area.

Compassionate and Highly Effective Special Education Representation

Working with the Law Office of Jenny Cochrane made a meaningful difference in our special education case. We needed an attorney who could understand the details of the IEP process, communicate clearly with the school district, and advocate firmly for the services our child required. Jenny brought all... of those qualities to the case. Her personal experience as the parent of a son with special needs gave her a level of understanding and compassion that we had not found elsewhere. She listened carefully to our concerns, explained the available options, and helped us identify practical solutions rather than pushing us toward unnecessary conflict. Jenny handled the IEP negotiations with the school district strategically and professionally. She clearly presented our requests, supported them with the appropriate educational and legal reasoning, and remained persistent throughout the discussions. Because of her strong representation, the district ultimately accepted all of the important requests we made. We were especially grateful that Jenny helped achieve a successful resolution without putting our family through a lengthy hearing or trial. She balanced firm advocacy with a genuine desire to reach an outcome that would benefit our child. Her knowledge of special education law, experience with IEP disputes, and compassionate approach made a stressful situation much easier to manage. I highly recommend the Law Office of Jenny Cochrane to families seeking an experienced special education attorney for IEP negotiations, school district disputes, accommodations, evaluations, placement issues, or educational services.

Excellent HOA and civil dispute lawyer in Bellevue WW

The Law Office of Jenny Cochrane represented us in an extremely complex HOA and property-damage dispute after flooding from an upstairs neighbor caused extensive and very expensive damage to our flooring, walls, and other parts of our home. The case involved difficult issues with the HOA, responsibil...ity for repairs, insurance coverage, expert evidence, and extensive litigation. Jenny was thorough, strategic, and persistent throughout the entire matter. She carefully reviewed the HOA governing documents, photographs, repair records, contractor estimates, insurance communications, and other evidence. She clearly explained our legal options, prepared strong correspondence and filings, and firmly challenged the parties who attempted to avoid responsibility. We were especially impressed by Jenny’s ability to manage such a complicated case while remaining responsive, compassionate, and transparent about costs and strategy. Her knowledge of Washington HOA law, condominium disputes, water-damage claims, and complex property litigation made a major difference in our case. We highly recommend the Law Office of Jenny Cochrane to anyone facing serious HOA disputes, flooding damage, neighbor liability, insurance issues, or complex real-estate litigation in Kirkland, Bellevue, Seattle, or anywhere in Washington State.
