Mark Cochran | Arlington Family Lawyer

Mark S. Cochran exclusively practices Family Law, which includes divorce, visitation establishment and enforcement, child support establishment and enforcement, modification, custody, paternity, contempt, pre-marital agreements, step-parent adoption, and other child and family-related matters.

Mr. Cochran has extensive litigation experience, and is qualified and capable of the trial of complex or large estates.  We believe it is essential that a client be fully informed of his or her options and the progress of the case.  We zealously represent our clients' interests while frankly advising as to the reality of the clients' expectations, given the specific circumstances of the case.

Although Mr. Cochran is a trial attorney, we acknowledge that most family law matters are best settled and resolved prior to trial.  Settlement, when fairly done, can save a client significant time and money.  Settlement also allows the parties to have total control over the decision-making involving their children and property.  Each attorney, therefore, has extensive experience in alternate dispute resolution, including mediation, settlement conferences, access facilitation and old-fashioned negotiation between lawyers.  While encouraging alternate dispute resolution, we recognized that certain cases and issues must be tried by a Judge or jury, and are prepared to do so.

Most importantly, we believe that an effective family law attorney must work to resolve problems, not create conflict and escalate hostilities.
