I am a lifelong Texan who grew up in the area. After law school I opened my own practice because I wanted to practice law according to my conscience. I am a strong conservative who believes that individual liberties are to be protected at all times. I enjoy representing individuals who need assistance in the courts; trial is one of the most enjoyable aspects of my practice. Additionally, I take great pride in helping people craft resolutions to their problems through mediating cases. I have enjoyed growing my practice to include my long-time interest in firearms. My philosophy is to represent my clients using legal knowledge and skill tempered with reason and wisdom so that at the resolution of the case my clients have understood the process, been zealously represented, and have obtained the best possible result given their individual circumstances.

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.
