I have heard good things, particularly with litigation cases, but this is not the right attorney if you are going to have an uncontested divorce or if you have any sort of budget. I did not contest anything, I agreed to everything my ex presented and I spent twice what I was told it would cost in attorney's fees. They even charged my credit card without sending an invoice (almost $4K) and when I called upset (because I found out from my credit card company why my outstanding balance was so high), was just told "Jack told me to charge your card for that amount". Never received the explanation of charges that I requested.

I would never recommend Jack Cochran to anyone. I hired him to represent me in a very simple divorce. (No custody or property division) He proved to be extremely dishonest, unreliable and completely inadequate. He refused to provide me with an itemized statement, yet blasted through my retainer before our first meeting. He did not take the necessary action in a timely manor to access my marital assets, resulting in the loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars that I was legally entitled to. He failed to return phone calls, emails that were time sensitive. Jack Cochran is incompetent as an attorney, is extremely arrogant and insensitive to his clients interests. He is however, very good at avoiding repeated requests for an itemized statements and padding his bill. What should have been a couple thousand dollar divorce, has cost me more than what a defense attorney would charge for representation in a murder trial. .

With a wealth of experience in his field and locale, Jack is a good lawyer. He's not the most efficient, and we had many hours of personal conversation, with the net result of a Huge divorce bill, which did not go to trial. For deep pocketed individuals looking for a friend/lawyer - he's a decent choice. Otherwise, a short leash is required.
