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.

The Best of the Best

We were told by many that he was the "best of the best" & After our experience, I couldn't agree more. His advice, guidance & representation was above and beyond. Gill Cochran is the BEST & he knows his sh*t!!!!!

DWI

Gill Cochran had handled cases or my mom and my stepdad. When I told them the story they said, "Your lawyer is not fighting for you, and he sounds way to expensive!" My stepdad said, "I'm taking you to see Gill!" Gill Cochran took my case for nearly half of what other attorneys were asking. While... the other attorneys gave me a list of things I needed to do, Gill saw the list and told me, "These are things that I should be doing, as your lawyer. This is what you pay me for!" The other Attorneys had recommended I take a PBJ on the alcohol charge, even though I only got a .06! Gill contacted the States Attorney before the case went to trial, and made things happen behind the scenes. The day of the trial, the judge exclaimed, "You really did you lawyering Mr. Cochran!" Instead of a PBJ on a DWI, I received a PBJ on an open container and one point for unsafe driving. What is more, Mr. Cochran had the alcohol charges thrown out completely! On a separate note, I contacted him about a work related legal matter. He gave me advice, and told me, "if things go bad, let them know you have a lawyer." Thanks again Mr. Cochran, you're the best! Cheers, Mark

Man of his Word

I called Gil based off the reviews on this site. When i first spoke to him, he assured me that he would take care of an arrest warrant in MD as well as get me a speedy trial date, all of which he immediately did. Gil was very thorough throughout the process, keeping me updated by phone or email and a...ssuring me that he was on top of everything. At the time of my trial, Gil was able to work out a deal that allowed me to avoid making the 5 hour trip to MD (I live in NY) and all of my legal issues went away. Gil was professional, thorough, and best of all a man of his word. Thanks Gil!

Magician

I was arrested for a DUI in Annapolis and, not being a native, I had no idea how I would be able to decide on the right lawyer. After being recommended to me by a couple of family friends , I decided to contact Gill. I am very thankful that my friends knew what they were talking about. It only took m...eeting Gill once for me to decide to go with him. I felt a lot more at ease once I had my consultation because he was very personable and confident that he could help which was a big factor in me deciding to trust Gill. I am very glad I made that decision to trust him because he did get me the best outcome possible. Gill told me off the bat everything he would need from me and once I got him those things, he handled the rest; it was like magic. He knew exactly what he was doing throughout the entire process and for that I am very grateful. I would hire Gill again ten times out of ten.
