Reviews

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My name is Alana Bragg and I usually do not write reviews for services whether I am happy or unhappy about the outcome. However, a review on the Cochran Law website was the impetus that put them on our list of attorneys to visit. To be clear, Vickie Cochran did not represent me but did represent my son in his divorce case. My son found himself blindsided when his then wife wanted to move to Arkansas to be near her family. After moving them, he was served with divorce papers. My son was devastated by the now inability to be part of the daily lives of his children that only comes with living with them. He turned to his family for support and that is why I am writing this review. My husband and I have been there for him since the beginning. We were tasked with finding an attorney in a new state where we had no one for recommendations. After researching attorneys in the area we had a list of three to visit, the Cochran Law Firm being first on the list. We had been told repeated by the ex-wife and others that the father would never be awarded custody of the children. I do not remember exactly what was said during that first visit, but do remember coming away with the feeling that this law office was a good fit. Vickie Cochran is a no frills attorney who listened intently to our story, had a long history of and was extremely knowledgeable about family law, did not make promises about the outcome but offered excellent suggestions for my son to follow, and lastly, did not ask us to leave when our scheduled no charge initial free consultation time was up. My husband, son, and I told her we had additional appointments and would call if we decided to hire the firm. Upon reflection of the visit, all three of us decided that for the first time we had hope, even though we were made no promises of the outcome and we chose to cancel our remaining appointments. Vickie Cochran comes across as very competent, passionate about what she believes, and ready to do her best to represent you. The conclusion is that how she comes across is exactly how she is, in and out of court. Ultimately, the divorce was final and my son and his ex-wife have an equal split on visitation and expenses. However, my son is the primary custodial parent with the ultimate decision power to insure his children are well cared for. I truly believe this would not have been the outcome had we had not been represented by Vickie Cochran. I have some advice for those who find themselves in this situation. First, lawyers are expensive – all of them, but they are tasked with standing and supporting you in some of the worst situations life can throw out at you, and are worth every cent. Second, they are not magicians and cannot pull an outcome out of a hat. You must follow their advice and suggestions. They must have a paper trail to support your case before a judge. Thirdly, be patient, don’t expect them to be immediately available when you want to talk. They all have other clients and your immediate situation may not be the moment’s priority. But, when it is your time, you are their priority. Ultimately, divorces usually take time. One last thought, understand and accept the help and support of those who love you. My son did and together the family was and is strong. Don’t be arrogant and ugly to those who love and support you, the results can be devastating. I hope this review conveys our gratitude for all that Vickie did for our family. Alana & Ray Bragg

He's the best

I had the pleasure of working with Vickie. The level of professionalism was amazing. She is very quick to answer any questions that you may have and I would definitely use her in the future should the need arise.

We have used vickie three times and very pleased with her everytime!

Great place to do business. Very knowledgeable and helpful. Great communication (email is best) and very quick with responses to questions!

Was very hopeful in the beginning, as initial consult went very well. From there on, it went downhill. I felt like I was of no importance at all. My concerns and wishes were met with comments discouraging me from fighting for anything I felt was RIGHT or JUST. I was made to feel as if I AM the bad guy in my situation. I always thought my lawyer was on my side, regardless, and they fought for what the client wanted or needed. This was not the case here. Vickie did nothing for me but take my money. I never got updates on anything. But you better believe my statements went out on time each month showing where she used my money. Maybe if you have a big case that would fill her pockets, she may do more for you, but if you are just a simple Mom needed someone to stand up for you, don't bother.

Horrible customer service. Her own secretary couldn’t even give me answers to any questions I had. When I first went to her office, she couldn’t even have the decency to come out and greet her new client. Getting ahold of her as well is close to impossible, never returned any phone calls and would go weeks without ever responding to an email. I’ve never met nor talked to her during my process, as she didn’t care to know her client just to get paid and get it over with. As well and insinuating that my sexual orientation will prevent her from getting clients.

Worst place for customer service really needs to work on that

Very rude. And not easy to work with at all. Did not know how to communicate well. And just was flat out mean, she even had the nerve to yell over the phone.

I know you and your organization are great and between being washinton dc metropolitan area and arkansas i will need your help.thank you kenneth trice.
