Robert J. Och

I find it odd to see poor reviews of Mr. Och's practice. Family law is a tough, emotional roller coaster for everyone involved. I have hired a lot of lawyers once; however, I hired Mr. Och twice. Both times, I got what I put into the case; and, what I asked for. A good attorney is busy and does n...ot have the time to pick your brain, find out your life history, figure out what you should do, and then convince you of this. I found a little common sense and general courtesy works wonders with Robert and Candice. Robert has plenty of time to deal with your case WHEN HE CALLS YOU; therefore, do your homework and be prepared for his call. It is foolish to think your going to call an Attorney with over 20 years experience in one area of law and get him on the phone with undivided attention. For all the little things that don't get expressed on the phone, send an email. For paperwork, use the drop box in the evening. Robert Och is a pro that has been doing family law in Whatcom County for 24 years. He knows what he is doing and likes to win. He was professional, confident, experienced, prepared, kept me informed, and he was always honest with me. I strongly suggest retaining Robert Och for family law matters if you are serious and realistic about your case. If you are not going to do the work to win or have unrealistic expectations, save yourself some money and hire someone with less experience.
