About Andrew Gill
Andrew Gill Cochran earned his law degree from the University of Maryland - University College, receiving his J.D. in 1997. He is admitted to practice in Maryland. His training at the state university fed into a local legal career that has kept him working inside the state’s courts and bar organizations.
Cochran practices under the name Drew Cochran, Lawyer at Law. He runs his practice in Maryland and handles cases through a small, local office structure rather than a large firm. Over the years he has kept close ties to the county legal community and to statewide legal groups that focus on trial work and criminal defense.
He maintains active memberships in the Anne Arundel County Bar Association, the Maryland Trial Lawyers Association and the Maryland Criminal Defense Lawyer’s Association. Those memberships keep him connected to peers who litigate frequently and provide forums for continuing legal education, case law updates and professional discussion. He has used those networks to remain current on trial strategies and procedural developments that affect criminal and civil litigation in Maryland.
Cochran’s practice reflects that involvement. Clients find him in courtrooms and municipal settings where contested matters are resolved by motion, hearing or jury trial. He approaches those matters as a practitioner who expects contested points and prepares accordingly. He works through evidence, witness preparation and procedural hurdles. He also handles pretrial work that can shape outcomes before a trial date is reached.
Outside formal court sessions, Cochran engages with local bar activities in Anne Arundel County and participates in statewide meetings of trial and defense lawyers. He attends seminars and gatherings that focus on trial practice and the specific challenges of defending accused persons in Maryland. He has built a practice that stays rooted in the state’s procedural rules and the local legal culture.
He practices law in Maryland through his office, Drew Cochran, Lawyer at Law, and his current practice focuses on criminal defense and trial litigation in the state.
