Robert Cochran Law, LLC – Columbus, OH

Elite Defense for White Collar and Serious Crimes

Robert Cochran Law, LLC is a premier criminal defense firm located in German Village, Columbus, Ohio. Founded in 2018 by Robert "Bob" Cochran, the firm brings decades of high-level government and private practice experience to the defense of individuals and businesses. Bob Cochran is not your average defense attorney; he is a former Assistant County Prosecutor, former Assistant Ohio Attorney General, and former Assistant Chief of Ohio’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit. He also served as a Special Assistant U.S. Attorney. This extensive background in prosecution gives him a unique tactical advantage-he knows exactly how the government builds its cases and where their weaknesses lie. If you are the target of a federal investigation or facing serious charges, you need to find a lawyer with the firepower to match the prosecution.

Healthcare Fraud and White Collar Defense

The firm is a recognized leader in defending against complex financial crimes, particularly in the healthcare sector. Bob represents doctors, pharmacists, and medical business owners accused of:

• Health Care Fraud: Defending against allegations of Medicare/Medicaid fraud, kickbacks, and billing irregularities.
• White Collar Crime: Handling cases of embezzlement, money laundering, wire fraud, and public corruption.
• Regulatory Law: Advising professionals on compliance to prevent criminal charges from being filed in the first place.
• Drug Crime Defense Lawyers: defending against high-level trafficking and conspiracy charges.
• Violent Crime Defense: representing clients accused of serious offenses including homicide and assault.

A Reputation for Excellence

Bob Cochran’s expertise has been recognized by the legal community’s most prestigious organizations. He has been named an Ohio Super Lawyer for over a decade and holds a BV Distinguished rating from Martindale-Hubbell. Before opening his own firm, he spent 16 years as a partner at a large multi-state law firm. Now, he offers that same "big firm" expertise with the personal attention and agility of a boutique practice. He is often the only thing standing between his clients and the loss of their professional licenses, freedom, and reputation.

Located in German Village

The firm operates out of a converted historic building on West Whittier Street, providing a discreet and comfortable setting for sensitive legal discussions. Unlike the intimidating atmosphere of a downtown high-rise, Bob’s office is welcoming and accessible. He offers a level of responsiveness that is rare in the industry, understanding that criminal investigations do not adhere to business hours. When you hire a lawyer at Robert Cochran Law, you are hiring a veteran strategist who has spent his entire career in the trenches of the criminal justice system.
