Lack of Attention to Detail and Unprofessional

Showed up to court an hour late. Wore sneakers on court date. Did not prepare properly for my case. Refused to ask relevant questions of defense as requested. Stated he would return my personal property (as he did not prepare pleadings etc. from copies provided) and has failed to do (return) so. A...fter losing the case, quickly sent a quote soliciting for another 3.5k for an appeals process. I cannot recommend this individual.

Thanks for putting me in Bankruptcy

I had two cases with Mr Cochran. Both of which he assured me were strong cases the first of which he sent a Demand Letter two weeks later than he said and which I never saw before he sent it to approve before it was sent. I since was able to resolve on my own recently after he could not provide me a ...case# with or proof of filing. It was determined when speaking with the courts he never filed it. The second he kept promising to start which involved a few hundred thousand dollars for a potential settlement of which we had verbally agreed he would get 40% of and nothing was ever done. I have called and sent numerous text and emails first asking then demanding my files that have never been returned. Not sure what he was hiding but I hope to eventually find out. I now stand to lose everything I have worked for! Thank You Mr Cochran.

Let me save you some time and money on this one!

Mr. Cochran gave me inaccurate advice causing me to be in contempt of court! On more than 1 occasion he lost my paperwork, causing me to copy and resubmit the mounds of copies. He was unprepared in court, with long moments of silence while he fumbled for the notes he was looking for, did I say lon...g and awkward moments of silence watching him stumble through these files? Mr. Cochran does not return phone calls for weeks, and at times for months. The other attorney had issues with him not communicating as well. He never seemed to know what was going on, and I often had to inform him of information I had personally obtained. My first couple of times with Mr. Cochran were impressive and he seemed very knowledgeable. Sadly, His lack of being prepared and informed cost me a lot of money and time!

I am unsure of who this person could possibly be. I have never had a situation like this occur. Given the fact that this is an anonymous post, I must assume it is a disgruntled opposing side that lost and was frustrated, or possibly a client who was unable to pay their bill and forced termination of services. We keep an open door policy at the office and communication is welcome. We also do not lose client's papers. This review is inaccurate and not representative of any client that I have represented.
