An absolute life saver! THE BEST of the BEST!

I had a great experience with the Law Office of Jenny Cochrane handling my employment matter. Jenny is highly knowledgeable and approached my case with clarity, confidence, and a strong sense of strategy. She was quick to understand the details of my situation and provided straightforward, practic...al advice throughout. What I appreciated most was her responsiveness and clear communication — she made sure I understood every step and always kept me informed. Her attention to detail and professional approach made a stressful process much easier to handle. I felt well-supported and confident in her ability to get the right outcome. I strongly recommend her for anyone dealing with employment-related issues.

Great representation, highly recommended!

I worked with Law Office of Jenny Cochrane on a very complex immigration situation involving an RFE and an NTA, and I couldn’t have asked for better representation. Jenny handled the case with a clear strategy, strong legal insight, and exceptional attention to detail. She prepared thorough, well-...structured documentation and responded quickly under tight timelines. Her ability to navigate both the RFE and NTA aspects with confidence and precision made a huge difference. Throughout the process, she provided honest, practical advice and kept me fully informed at every step. Thanks to her expertise, persistence, and strong advocacy, my case moved forward successfully despite the complexity. I highly recommend her for any challenging immigration matters.

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.
