Ms. Cochran's Review

No face to face meetings ever occurred, which might have been helpful. Failed to give us a good understanding of alternatives, such as options for getting documents notarized and instructions on how to transfer the house into the trust. Failed to provide accurate information, her supervisor had to in...tervene to correct. We really had to comb through the documents because there were many factual errors and typos. Overall did not provide the guidance and handholding we felt like we needed since we were novices to the process.

stellar service, detailed insight

Deborah is an amazing lawyer that we've had the pleasure of hiring. She is thorough in her research & explanation given the complexity and niche character of our industry (software visualization & material exploration). She is insightful and provides detailed explanation of the cases/procedures at va...rious levels which is needed given our non legal background. We covered trademarks mostly. Most importantly she is a good person and will guide you through the thorny processes in the legal world with minimal to no scratches. Normally people don't like lawyers, we love Deborah! we continue to work with her and would highly recommend her.

Excellent Results

My husband and I wanted to reach out to you for helping us with a difficult situation. We constantly ran into road blocks until we reached you. We were extremely frustrated that no one was taking our position seriously until you. You made us feel like this situation was no different than a million do...llar case. We had both traveled 1/2 way around the country (Michael twice) and excited about being near our son and grandchildren. We were blind sighted by an unhealthy home. We didn't know where to turn. You came along and with your persistence and perseverance we were able to resolve the situation. We cannot thank you enough for everything you have done. You Deborah go above and beyond. Michael and I are now able to move on with our lives and enjoy our children and our grandchildren. Should we need Legal services in the future you will be hearing from us. Once again Deborah Thank You.

Lawyer with Integrity and Class!

I have never had to deal with lawyers until recently. And yes, it was a very daunting and emotionally draining experience. Does your skin cringe when you hear the word lawyer? Well, that means you are just human, but it doesn't have to...especially when you know the right attorneys! What I have lear...ned through this experience is that not all lawyers make your skin cringe, especially when they are as responsive, knowledgeable, detailed and compassionate as Deborah Cochran. Throughout the process Deborah was extremely informative in walking me through each step of my litigation process. She would give me her expert opinion, best and worst case scenarios, big picture view and also steps along the way. When I needed Deborah she was right there to answer questions via email or phone. Her depth of knowledge was quite impressive, her calm demeanor & bedside manner really put my mind at ease and my heart to rest (which was not easy). I felt confident that my case was in the right hands with her. She has undeniably changed my attitude about lawyers! I cannot thank Deborah enough for the amount of work, her efforts and time she spent on my case! If for some reason, there is a need for an attorney, Deborah will not disappoint...she will only raise the bar... because she is that awesome! Thank you!

She takes care of it.

Twice I've run into difficult legal situations, and both times I called on Ms. Cochran, and both times she said, "I'll take care of it," took down the pertinent information; and both times that was the last step I needed to take. She took my problems in hand, made the necessary contacts and the next... thing I knew, I was receiving documentation that the situation was resolved. I would recommend her to anyone.
