Darrell Cochran, Kevin Hastings their associates and staff are simply amazing. They have treated me with the utmost respect and looked after my best interest from the start. I feel like obviously when you are dealing with lawyers and lawsuits you enter the situation guarded and nervous. When you have been a victim of sexual abuse, you are not just guarded, you trust no one. Since our first meeting Darrell and Kevin were kind and caring. They earned my trust by regularly reinforcing that they would fight for me and protect me.
My case was lucky enough to start right at the beginning of COVID, and all the courts came to a complete halt. Which added a few years to my case but even then Darrell and Kevin continued to push things forward as much as they could. During my case the opposing party attempted to discredit me like many do but Darrell and Kevin stood their ground, helped me stay strong and fought for me. Their unwavering support was incredible.
They helped me grow from a victim to the strong woman I have become. They helped me get my power back!! They taught me not only how to advocate for myself but also how to advocate for others. I highly recommend Darrel and Kevin and their entire staff at PFAU Cochran Vertetis Amala. They have become like family to me and I will forever be grateful for their dedication and hard work helping me seek the justice I deserved.

I am indebted to Kevin Hastings and the firm of PCVA for impeccable service handling my matter. From the moment I engaged the firm, I felt completely supported and as if a huge weight had been lifted from my shoulders. I was told to focus on healing and moving forward with my life while they took care of the details, and that is exactly what happened from beginning to end.
Kevin Hastings is everything you hope for in an attorney - smart, efficient, straightforward, very easy to talk to, and empathetic. I was completely able to set aside my legal concerns and focus on my recovery, as promised. The support staff was responsive and very helpful throughout. I am truly very grateful for their help and give Kevin and PCVA the highest possible rating!
