Posted by anonymous | February 8, 2026 | Hired Attorney

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

This attorney should never be hired for family law matters.

I retained this attorney to complete a limited scope matter: finalizing paperwork related to a CR2A that had already been completed. I paid over $10,000 for this work, and was billed nearly $20k. From the beginning, communication was inconsistent. Scheduled calls were frequently postponed or cancel...ed, and billing was not provided in a timely or transparent manner. Charges continued to appear long after substantive work on my case had ended, and invoices trickled in over the course of more than a year. I repeatedly requested a final bill, but billing continued even when no additional work was being performed. When I ultimately disputed additional charges totaling several thousand dollars and declined to pay them, her office pushed back but then communication from the attorney ceased entirely. I was also told the attorney was “preparing for trial,” despite the fact that the matter was governed by an existing CR2A and was never procedurally headed toward trial. Additionally, I was informed that opposing counsel was a former college roommate of this attorney. While I was told this did not constitute a conflict of interest, it is something that I believe was a conflict of interest and the case dragged on unnecessarily. Her paralegal even went to work for the other attorney while she was still on my case. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this attorney. I paid a substantial amount of money and did not receive clear value, consistent communication, or reliable billing practices.

Competent, concise, compassionate

Ms. Cochran's prompt response to my inquiry, and in-depth research of the subject was impressive, and invaluable. You can imagine the immensity of protocol and procedures involved when dealing with HUD subsidies managed by local housing providers. Jenny's immediate grasp of complexities and competent... presentation of subject matter contributed significantly to the positive outcome of my petition. I was greatly relieved by the genuine personal interest she took under the difficult circumstances.

Excellent Attorney

My name is Maria and yes my husband and I did use Ms. Cochrane's services and we were highly pleased with her services. She was punctual and showed for all appointments with our bank. Below you will see a review bearing my name but was NOT written by me or my husband. He is a PSYCHO only trying to... smear the reputation of my attorney. I will be contacting this site to have said review REMOVED IMMEDIATELY!!

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.
