They advertise for Civil Rights cases and police misconduct yet rejected my case. Super disappointed that there is now another instance of me looking to hire this firm and them not being up to the task. Disappointed.

The Cochran firm was beyond thorough and professional in handling the affairs of my son’s passing. Not once did I have to guess at what the next steps would be. The Cochran Firm was communicating to me frequently. They made me feel as if I was their only client. I highly recommend the Cochran Firm for your applicable legal matters. They are the BEST hands down!!!

I inquired about a potential medical malpractice suit that happened this year and was emailed back stating that the statue of limitations had expired. I called this location multiple times to see if someone had misread what I had wrote or to see if there was a typo and was told that someone would give me a call back and that did happen.

The woman who I spoke with told me they could not help me with no explanation regarding my mother’s routine medical procedure that went wrong and my mom passed away a few days later in 2015. I was and still am hurt, angry and disappointed with the Cochran Firm. Their false advertising commercial makes me SICK!! They didn’t even attempt to assist me.
Regarding your response: My mother passed on May 1, 2015 and I contacted the Cochran Firm around the end of May 2015 or the beginning of June 2015 not years later. Thank you.

Working with Ms. Kayann Chambers from the Cochran Firm was a true pleasure from the beginning. She remained in contact with us through the entirety of our case and helped our family through the most devastating event of our lives. My son and I are forever grateful for her assistance.

My case was assigned the most awesome team at the firm. From the attorney to the law student, these ladies made the process much easier to deal with. From the first phone call/meeting to the last, I felt like they sincerely cared about me. At times, felt that they shared the pain of losing my son almost as much as I did. I was completely satisfied with the service provided by the Cochran firm.

My Lawyer Charles was the best hands down... Was very knowledgeable every step of the way. Anytime I had questions He answered them right away and made sure I understood everything he was doing. If I called or emailed he would respond within 15 minutes which is amazing for someone with the work load that he has. I would highly recommend him.

Putting faith in this law firm for SSDI is not the best thing to do. For months and months there is NO communication with the law firm. When they do finally get an answer to the appeal, instead of the attorney calling and giving the final decision he has an aide call. That was not how to handle business like this.

If you are looking for help with SSI seek it elsewhere.

This is a top notch law firm and I would certainly give this firm my highest recommendation. Our firm has had a longstanding relationship with The Cochran Firm, and we would not hesitate to refer big cases their way. David Haynes has some great verdicts, and he is also President of the D.C. Trial Lawyers Association. I have worked with this firm for over ten years and believe that they server their clients incredibly well.

My mom was hurt in a motor vehicle accident. After a few weeks in the hospital I reach out to a law firm, spoke with an attorney, wasn't happy with his approach or his unprofessional approach. So I immediately told the attorney I didn't need his service. I then contacted the Cochran Firm, where I was paired up with Mr. David Haynes. Mr. Haynes was a lifesaver. Mr. Haynes is a gifted and outstanding professional attorney. Mr. Haynes is very knowledgeable, confident and smart. He explained every detail, every step of the way. He kept me up-to-date with new details that had arose

My initial rating was two stars. I was rear ended in Delaware and wanted assistance from a law firm large enough with offices in DC too. I looked up names from Yelp and was happy to find a law firm I could walk to, if needed. I am still in physical therapy and don't want to schlepp to DE when someone could help me locally. I received a disappointing call from the representative of the person who hit me and my husband and I just knew I was going to need some representation. I was surprised when someone had the time to talk to me just before the holiday weekend. The receptionist took my

David Haynes is professional, responsive and kept me in the loop about my case. It was top level legal representation with no upfront costs. My livelihood and future was on the line and David came through. David gave me a sense that because he was so well respected my case would be taken seriously. It seemed like David's representation had a big impact on the outcome of my case. David Haynes was ready to go to trial and do the work to make sure I got justice.

After contacting many attorneys I knew I found the right firm when I spoke to the their secretary on the phone, all of the other firms I called seemed uninterested, and uncaring, not the case when I contacted the Cochran Firm. I have faith I will get successful results with this firm on my side.

Paul D'Amore at this firm saved our family from the financial side of a devastating loss after our daughter died in surgery, leaving her husband and two small daughters. Since she was a major income producer in her family their situation could have been as financially devastating as it was emotional.
Paul and his partner came to our case after one attorney said it was not worth pursuing. Two others declined to accept it. Paul too was reluctant as it was a very difficult case involving two very popular doctors in their city.
But he saw an egregious situation where the facts had been swept
