Posted by Jeremie | May 27, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Domestic Violence

He saved me

My name is jeremie I was resent represented by Attorney Gary cole of the cole law Firm here in Fort Lauderdale Florida. I was in a bad situation where I was falsely accused of unsubstantiated allegations and a temporary injunction was imposed against me for a pending restraining order which took away... my ability to have contact with my 7 year old son. I am also on probation here in Florida therefore I was also in serious danger of a probation violation if the petition against me was deem credible by the judge. At my may 2nd, 2016 hearing I faced my accuser and the judge with supreme confidence know that I had Gary Cole as my lawyer. Within half an hour into my hearing Gary cole was finished questioning my accuser and proved that there was no credible evidence to enforce an order of protection against me. The judge then ruled in our favor and dismissed the petition against me. I was amazed with how Gary Cole dominated the situation in court on my behalf and I was astonished with how fast Attorney Gary Cole Convinced the Judge to rule in our favor and dismiss the petition against me. Because of Attorney Gary Coles outstanding representation I avoided a probation violation and I am able to remain a free man a be a good father to my 7 year old son. I highly recommend Attorney Gary Cole to anyone is a bad situation. When the criminal justice system has you stuck between a rock and a hard place pick up the phone and Call Gary Cole it will probably be one of the best desions of your life. Jeremie Smith.
