Ronnie M. Cole

When I first met Ronnie my thoughts were, "Do I know this guy from somewhere?" Because he sure acts as if he knows me, like the next door neighbor. He is up front and knows the law, (had a big hand in writing it). He and his team were outstanding relieving the stress and pain of the process. The fina...l disposition was a not guilty verdict and expungement and reinstatement of my license.

The most logical place to start is with my utter stupidity and lack of judgment, this was ever apparent when I found myself sitting in a cell charged with DUI and unlawful carry of a firearm. The facts are these: I was pulled over after having a day that needed forgetting. I was in no mood to deal ...with the police ( only those having a father that is a retired police officer understand this). My demeanor and attitude during the field sobriety tests was embarrassing; I was a jerk. That was probably enough to put me in jail for a night but of course I had been drinking, had a pistol without a concealed weapon permit, and I refused to blow. My asinine performance continued until the point when the cell door shut and I was left to contemplate how in the world I was going to fix this. (Side-note: I had already accepted my dream job in another state, this of course was about to be in the crapper, along with my life.) I got out on a personal recognizance bond and went to get my car. This is where it gets interesting; I had not even began to think of who to hire or how to go about dealing with the legal process when the tow truck driver told me "... if you didn't blow and want to get out of a DUI, then call Ronnie Cole." Of course I took that with a grain of salt and did not believe much of what he said. However, I had to make a move so I called Mr. Cole's later that day and set up a time to go by his office. Mr. Cole is a straight-shooter, he's not a smoke-blowing kind of person. He'll let you know that right away. I could tell that he is a man that has an innate ability to read people within about five minutes of meeting them, and that's the kind of person I wanted on my side. I retained Mr. Cole and his team for my case and it was the best decision I have ever made. I was able to move and take the job while the case played out; I DO NOT have a DUI on my record nor an unlawful carry. Due to Mr. Cole's respect among his peers, I never had to drive back to South Carolina for a court appearance--he had my best interest always in mind. I will forever be indebted to Mr. Cole and his associates. He knows the law and has the experience to back it up.

Having been charged and convicted of DUI over a decade ago, I was aware of the terrible consequences. I lost my drivers license, had to attend ADSAP and pay huge fines for SR22 insurance and reinstatement fees. When I was charged again I felt completely depressed and hopeless. This is when I decid...ed to call Cole Law Firm. After my initial consultation with Ronnie and his staff, I knew I was doing the right thing. Ronnie Cole does not just know the DUI laws, he helped write them. I never had to attend one day in court and he was able to have my DUI charge completely dismissed. His entire staff was very professional, compassionate and understanding throughout. My only regret is not hiring Cole Law Firm when I was in trouble a decade ago …

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.
