Loren Cochran

Competent handling of my car accident case

I hired Loren Cochran at Cochran Douglas PLLC after a rear-end collision left me with whiplash and mounting medical bills. As a newer attorney, their one year of focused practice in plaintiff-side personal injury was evident in their grasp of the procedural details and their recent recognition in that specific field. The initial consultation was thorough, and they clearly understood the nuances of Washington state liability laws. However, the experience felt somewhat uneven. While the eventual settlement was fair, communication sometimes lagged; I’d go a week or more without updates unless I initiated contact. Responses to emails were professional but not always prompt. The firm’s process felt a bit slower than I anticipated, though nothing was critically mishandled. For a straightforward case like mine, their competence was adequate and got the job done. I’d recommend them with the caveat to be proactive in managing your own expectations around timelines and follow-up.
