Family Law

• Divorce
• Premarital Agreement
  A prenuptial agreement is a written contract made between two people prior to their marriage. Among other things, prenuptial agreements can protect individual assets, define ownership of assets acquired during the marriage and/or resolve support and property issues arising from a separation or divorce. Prenuptial agreements can be an invaluable tool to ensure that any future dissolution of the marriage is achieved with minimal conflict.

Criminal Law

• Criminal Defense
  Recently, I was represented by Mr. Gil Cochran in a case involving my crazy ex-boyfriend. I could not believe my ex had brought charges against me. I have a clean record and had never been in trouble with the law. I was in a state of shock and disbelief when I received notice of these charges. Gil put me at ease from the beginning and asked me what I was most worried about. Even though he reassured me, I was still very upset. I spent five months worrying about going to jail and having a record. After going to court for a peace order and agreeing to stay away from my ex, Gil was confident that we could make it all go away and get the charges dropped. He gave me advice and told me what to do to make sure I would be okay. Gil told me he’d take care of me, and he did. I was very worried the day before the final court appearance. Gil went inside the courtroom, worked his magic and then talked with me outside, going over the details of the case. Before I knew it, we were in front of the judge, and I received a Probation Before Judgement in exchange for agreeing to have no contact with my ex. This was great news as it is unsupervised probation and the charge will not go on my record unless I violate the terms of agreement. What impressed me the most about Gil is the way he conducted himself, his relaxed and polished manner which attests to the many years experience he’s had as a criminal defense attorney. He cares about his clients and gets results. What a relief that this is all behind me! From now on I will look for the signs of mental instability in every potential boyfriend I meet.
• DUI/DWI
  I cant put into words how Mandeep took care of me not only in court but in my life through the process of my DUI case. This which would have been a 3rd DUI was beating me down in every way you can imagine. Mandeep always made me feel at ease with the situation. He is very professional and obviously well known in the Lawyer Community. I could not have made a better decision than to hire Mandeep to represent me. I am so grateful of this man that I would not recommend anyone other than Mandeep. He just makes you feel as if he has known for years and genuinely cares about you and the outcome of your case. Best Attorney I have ever dealt with hands down.

• Traffic Violations
  I got in some pretty hefty traffic charges that could impact my job. I found Gill from the reviews here on Avvo. My first meeting with Gill, he showed me some amazing magic tricks to calm my nerves. The meeting was short and he told me “I can’t promise you the outcome but I will do my best”. Gill is determined and told me he would take care of me. I took his suggestion and finished a Driver Improvement program he recommended. I never saw Gill until the day of my trial. Even then I was nervous but Gill just has a way of making you feel like everything is alright. He told me “Don’t worry son”.. He worked his magic backstage, talked to the cop and got my 5 point speeding, reckless, racing dismissed to only 1 point! Pretty much a slap on the wrist for what it could be. I recommend Gill for all traffic violations!

• Homicide
• Shoplifting
  Mr. Chhabra represented my daughter for shoplifting and was able to get her case dropped. She suffers from mental illness and all though that isn’t an excuse for what she did, it is certainly a contributing factor. Mr. Chhabra represented her and she did not have to step into the court room which would have been very hard for her. He spoke to her with kindness and compassion but also made sure she understood the seriousness of what she did so she would not repeat the mistake. I would recommend him to anyone that needs a lawyer that is extremely effective but also very kind.
• Manslaughter
  Gill Cochran defended me in a vehicular manslaughter case. He made the entire process simple and thoroughly explained everything to me, whether I wanted to hear it or not,in a way that made feel comfortable and put me at ease. He worked very hard for me and in the court room he was extremely professional and in control. Gill was able to prove that I had nothing in my system that wouldhave caused me to crash. I was completely cleared of the all charges.
