When you ask Mr. Cochell what makes the difference and why he has been so effective and overwhelmingly successful in defending his clients against agency overreach, his answer is: "I measure the agency's conduct against the actual statute's language and history to determine if agency officials have overstepped their authority and engaged in misconduct." Mr. Cochell further stated that: "I believe that if you want a fighting chance against the FTC or Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ("CFPB"), you need a lawyer who doesn't just settle cases but has a track record for going to court, winning and holding the FTC and government agencies accountable."
