GREAT Lawyer!! Ms. Cochrane handled a very challenging and stressful situation with my Home Owners Association

I had a very challenging HOA situation involving severe water damage during the rainy season. The HOA not only imposed heavy fines but also refused to take responsibility for necessary repairs, making the situation extremely stressful and complex. Hiring Law Office of Jenny Cochrane was the best deci...sion I made. From the very beginning, Jenny was highly involved and proactive. She handled multiple calls and detailed email communications with the HOA board, ensuring that every issue was addressed thoroughly. What really stood out was her ability to navigate both HOA disputes and insurance complications at the same time. Our insurance company had initially denied the claim, but with Jenny’s expertise, persistence, and well-structured approach, we were ultimately able to get the claim approved.

Highly recommend for anyone dealing with HOA or landlord-tenant matters!

I had a great experience with the Law Office of Jenny Cochrane for both HOA and landlord-tenant issues. They helped resolve HOA fines efficiently, saving me a significant amount of time and money. They also guided me through handling non-paying tenants and moved the eviction process forward quickl...y and effectively. They are very polite, fast, and highly experienced. At every step, they provided multiple options, explained everything clearly, and helped me make informed decisions without any confusion. Their efficiency and expertise made a stressful situation much easier to handle. Highly recommend for anyone dealing with HOA or landlord-tenant matters.

Expert HOA Attorney

I had a very positive experience working with Law Office of Jenny Cochrane on a challenging HOA issue. Jenny has a deep understanding of HOA laws and handled my case with a very strategic and practical approach. She quickly identified the key issues, explained my rights clearly, and laid out a sol...id plan to move forward. What stood out most was her attention to detail and how thoroughly she reviewed documents and communications. She doesn’t miss anything. Her communication is excellent — she responds promptly, keeps you updated, and makes sure you’re never left guessing about next steps. She is also very patient and takes the time to answer questions in a way that’s easy to understand. Thanks to her guidance, I was able to navigate a difficult HOA situation with confidence and achieve a favorable outcome. If you’re dealing with HOA disputes or property-related issues, I would highly recommend her. Give title for that review

Great Lawyer!

I had a really good experience working with Law Office of Jenny Cochrane on an HOA issue. Jenny was easy to talk to, explained things in a way that actually made sense, and didn’t rush anything. She was very thorough and clearly knew how to handle these kinds of cases. What I appreciated most was ...how responsive and practical she was—no unnecessary back and forth, just clear guidance and steady progress. It felt like she genuinely cared about getting things resolved the right way. If you’re dealing with HOA problems, I’d definitely recommend reaching out to her.

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.
