About Cherry Cochrell

I have a passion for law and business. Most importantly, my greatest passion is serving others where I can utilize my knowledge, experience and skills in the legal profession.I have been a paralegal since and started off as a pro bono paralegal for the Public Defender\'s Office in Tacoma, Washington. I was assigned in the juvenile division of this Public Defender\'s Office and saw the need for legal professionals for the underprivileged who cannot afford expensive, legal fees. Subsequently, I was invited to become a probono paralegal for the Municipal Court in Federal Way, Washington. After that time, my heart was already set in motion to work in the legal field.My background encompasses working for Fortune companies both in healthcare and the legal field. My ten years of experience in healthcare became a valuable asset to law firms specializing in medical malpractice, wrongful death, personal injury (catastrophic injuries), premise liability, police brutality cases. I became the primary resource for interpreting/drafting summaries of complex medical histories of clients for briefs.MASTERS IN BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION (MBA)Core Competencies:Management, office administration and legal/contracts.
