Highly Recommend Jenny Cochrane – Trusted Immigration Lawyer in Kirkland, WA

The Law Office of Jenny Cochrane provided outstanding support during our marriage-based green card and later citizenship process. Immigration paperwork can be overwhelming, but Jenny made the entire process much less stressful. She took the time to carefully review our situation, explain every step, ...and make sure all the documents were properly prepared. What really stood out was how patient and communicative she was throughout the case. She answered all of our questions in detail, clarified complex immigration requirements, and made sure we fully understood what to expect at each stage. Her attention to detail and thorough preparation gave us a lot of confidence that our application was being handled correctly. Jenny is extremely knowledgeable in immigration law and very professional, yet approachable. Anyone going through a marriage-based green card, adjustment of status, or U.S. citizenship process would benefit from her guidance. Highly recommend the Law Office of Jenny Cochrane for anyone looking for a reliable and supportive immigration attorney.

Highly Recommend Jenny Cochrane for HOA Disputes

Jenny Cochrane was extremely helpful in resolving several issues we had with our HOA, including water damage problems and unfair HOA fines from the board. She quickly understood the situation and guided us through the process in a way that saved us a lot of time, stress, and unnecessary expenses. Wha...t stood out the most was her clear communication and practical advice — she explained our options and helped us address multiple HOA-related concerns in a short period of time. Jenny is patient, very affordable compared to many attorneys, and genuinely focused on helping homeowners deal with HOA boards effectively. If you are facing HOA disputes, water damage responsibility issues, or HOA fine enforcement problems, I highly recommend Jenny Cochrane.

Posted by anonymous | February 08, 2026 | Hired 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.

  • 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.
