Attorney Loren Cochran

1 00:00:03.757 --> 00:00:05.443 I'm a natural storyteller. 2 00:00:05.486 --> 00:00:07.814 And I like to hear what people say 3 00:00:07.928 --> 00:00:10.520 and then try and tell that story to an audience. 4 00:00:10.550 --> 00:00:13.360 And that's what trial law allows me to do. 5 00:00:13.390 --> 00:00:16.114 Because I get to hear what happens to people 6 00:00:16.115 --> 00:00:20.022 and then really put it in terms that everyone can understand, 7 00:00:20.023 --> 00:00:22.520 and specifically a jury can understand. 8 00:00:22.550 --> 00:00:27.014 And then they can evaluate the facts and then decide what justice is. 9 00:00:27.150 --> 00:00:29.629 I enjoy being a lawyer most 10 00:00:29.630 --> 00:00:32.470 because I really feel like I get to help people. 11 00:00:32.471 --> 00:00:35.157 That's the most important thing for me. 12 00:00:36.686 --> 00:00:39.360 I'm an individual that cares about people. 13 00:00:39.390 --> 00:00:41.086 I'm empathetic towards them. 14 00:00:41.087 --> 00:00:44.943 And the idea that I can actually do something that makes their lives better, 15 00:00:44.944 --> 00:00:48.029 hopefully, is really important to me. 16 00:00:48.150 --> 00:00:53.400 The most important thing for me is that people feel like they're hurt. 17 00:00:53.571 --> 00:00:58.741 So I think that makes so much difference in anybody's individual case 18 00:00:58.742 --> 00:01:02.571 because it's so foreign for folks to have an attorney, 19 00:01:02.814 --> 00:01:04.443 to hire an attorney. 20 00:01:04.630 --> 00:01:07.000 Most of the time, people are scared. 21 00:01:07.257 --> 00:01:10.080 They've been through a traumatic incident of some sort. 22 00:01:10.110 --> 00:01:12.290 And so it's really important for me 23 00:01:12.291 --> 00:01:15.086 to understand where that person is coming from 24 00:01:15.087 --> 00:01:17.440 and then try and guide them through 25 00:01:17.470 --> 00:01:23.800 what otherwise is a really scary and unfriendly feeling. 26 00:01:24.171 --> 00:01:27.929 The types of cases that we primarily work on 27 00:01:27.930 --> 00:01:30.880 are plaintiff's personal injury cases. 28 00:01:30.910 --> 00:01:33.151 It's anytime somebody's been injured. 29 00:01:33.152 --> 00:01:35.929 It can be something as simple as a car crash, 30 00:01:36.043 --> 00:01:41.240 or it can be something as complex as an interaction with law enforcement. 31 00:01:41.270 --> 00:01:45.443 Anything that is harmed an individual and they need help with, 32 00:01:45.444 --> 00:01:47.760 that's what Cochran Douglas is here for. 33 00:01:47.790 --> 00:01:51.128 A client can expect when they come to Cochran Douglas, 34 00:01:51.129 --> 00:01:54.473 that they're going to be treated with dignity first and foremost. 35 00:01:54.673 --> 00:01:57.814 We're going to listen to what happened, we're going to investigate. 36 00:01:57.815 --> 00:01:59.600 But we're always going to do that, 37 00:01:59.630 --> 00:02:05.080 remembering that this is more than just a case that's filed in a courthouse. 38 00:02:05.110 --> 00:02:07.585 But this is an actual individual 39 00:02:07.586 --> 00:02:10.614 who's gone through whatever the traumatic experience is, 40 00:02:10.615 --> 00:02:12.314 and we need to respect that.
