Our Legacy — Gill Cochran, Founding Partner (1970)

Cochran & Chhabra was built on the foundation laid by Gill Cochran, who first opened the firm’s doors in Annapolis in 1970. For over 45 years, Gill served the Annapolis community with integrity, dedication, and an unwavering commitment to justice. His legacy lives in every case we take, every client we serve, and every principle we uphold.

In lasting memory of Gill Cochran — advocate, mentor, and founder.
