PHENOMENAL

Is the best word to describe Ronnie Cole. After being charged with a DUI the previous day, I nervously approached Ronnie Cole's office with alot of uncertainty of what my future could be. Upon entering I was immediately greeted by Mr. Cole and his fantastic staff. He went over everything in my ca...se, and eased my stress with a friendly casual demeanor, as if we had known each other for years. Over the next few months I had alot of complications with my case that I was confused by, but Ronnie and his team were always quick to respond with any information I needed. A few months after the arrest, I received a call from his office explaining that they were able to get the charges dropped, and I could go get my license back. I am intensely grateful to Ronnie Cole and is staff for all of their hard work, and incredible service.

Ronnie is the best!

For DUI, Ronnie Cole literally wrote the book. He is THE expert in this field. He takes time with clients and he and his staff are extremely kind and patient with clients throughout what can be a very stressful process. After going to his office he got my license reinstated and my case was eventua...lly dismissed. I have no complaints and I know no one could have done a better job.

I was given a second chance at life with the help of Ronnie Cole

I was arrested back in July of 2012 for a DUI in Greenville County, S.C. I, like anyone else this happens to, had to deal with the shame and uncertainty that comes along with this arrest. I talked to a few people and the name Ronnie Cole came up several times as THE best DUI defense attorney in the u...pstate. So I setup a consultation with him. He was very upfront and direct with me and knowledgeable about what was to happen and what I could expect. He also assured me that whatever he could do to help me that he would. I decided to retain him that same day. It was the best decision I could have made regarding defense in the case. While he was working on this case I had the embarrassment of having to go to him to tell him I had been arrested for a second DUI. That was in October. He again was upfront with me and assured me he would do what he could for me. I thought that surely I was finished. The future seemed bleak for me. I am happy to report that he was able to get both cases resolved. I was not convicted of either DUI. I have learned my lesson. And I have much to be thankful for. I will always be indebted to Mr. Cole for what he was able to do for me. I would HIGHLY recommend this law firm for any of your defense needs. Thank You so much Ronnie, you don't know how much I appreciate you!

OUTSTANDING

Ronnie Cole and his associates are very good at representing someone like me with a DUI from an accident. The outcome of this shows how well they take care of their clients. He got my charges reduced and my life can go on without the DUI on my record. Everyone at the office kept me informed of the pr...ogress and I didn't even have to go to court one time. I will and have recommended his firm to allot of people with the need for a good lawyer in a DUI.

Worth every dollar

I'm pleased to say Mr. Cole and his staff have exceeded my expectations everytime I've had to call them for service, advice, or representation. While no one anticipates impending criminal charges, his staff have done as much to represent me in Anderson and as far as Spartanburg county. His receptioni...sts are responsive, always keeping me informed of any changes in the case as well as retrieving information from prior counseling. Most importantly, this man is a winner! Out of my four Ronnie Cole representations, I have never walked away discouraged from the results of my case or feeling jaded as to money poorly spent... And to think his specialty is DUI!
