DUI

Gill did a fantastic job on my DUI case and I would highly recommend him to anyone. Answered all questions I had, put me at ease, explained my options and made the actual court experience much more comfortable and understandable than I was expecting!!

Thank You!

Mr. Cochran was able to handle 4 separate cases for me and did a great job with them. I was always informed and he got the results I hoped for. He was very good with my son.

Many Thanks to Attorney; Mr Gill Cochran & The Firm

Last year I got into trouble riding a small ATV on school property (parking lot, not the ball-field areas). I turned to Gill for his great assistance and to represent me, as I was faced with 7 tickets, one being a major 12 point violation. This week in court, Gill did fabulous for me, and settled thi...ngs to just 1 small ticket. I should mention his price was reasonable, and well worth his many years experience. On other occasions, when I was younger and not so wise, Gill provided excellent representation for me in two DUI situations (1995 & 2009), with excellent results. Good luck with your situation, and suggest you do call and meet with Gill.

Gill represented my son in a most professional and knowledgable manner

Walking in the office of a criminal defense attorney was very intimidating and frightening for me. My nervousness dissipated upon meeting Gill Cochran. I was surprised by, what I viewed as a unique introduction-the use of magic tricks! It worked as I was put at ease immediately. Mr. Cochran is ...committed to his clients 100% (including, in my case, to his client’s mother). His knowledge of the law and vast experience in the courtroom is very evident and most reassuring. Gill Cochran is an exceptional attorney - a gentleman with a calm demeanor, who is kind, compassionate, firm and honest. My family’s experience was made less stressful knowing Mr. Cochran was in charge.

I would highly recommend Gill Cochran

Recently, I was charged with a DUI in Annapolis, MD. During this life changing event, needless to say, I was terrified of the repercussions. I went to several highly rated attorneys in the Annapolis area and knew as soon as I met Gill, that I had found my attorney. From the moment we made introductio...ns he was able to put me at ease by performing magic tricks and showed his unparalleled knowledge about DUI cases in the state of Maryland. After our consultation, he even encouraged that I go see the last attorney I had scheduled for the day. He was the only one to follow up with me at the end of this long process showing great compassion, immediately easing my concerns. When my day finally arrived in court this October, Gill was able to follow through and give 100% of what was promised to me. He set realistic expectations and was able to show me the light at the end of this long and difficult tunnel. I am extremely thankful for Gills services and I would highly recommend him to anyone going through a similar situation. After speaking with several attorneys in the Annapolis area, trust me, you will not regret this decision! Thank you for all your help Gill!
