Avoid

Terrible attorney that is just collecting a check from the county. She will create more problems for you than she will help you. Avoid at all costs.

Looking for another attorney

Lawyer rarely contacts me. Very hard to get in touch with her. Makes the whole process feel more stressful. Also she says one thing and other people tell me something different regarding extremely important matters. Will look for another criminal defense attorney.

The worst

She is a horrible attorney. She ignores her client and never answers the phone, goes to see her client or calls them back. She absolutely is horrible. Do not use her. She doesn't care about her client at all. She's the worst. We are firing her.

Great Attorney

Attorney Kochis is a dedicated attorney to her client. She is always professional, dedicated to hard work and has been a diligent attorney representing her clients well.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
