Did a Great Job

I was charged with a felony, and Gary got my charges dropped to a misdemeanor. He came very highly recommend by a friend. Very thorough and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Gary if you need legal representation.

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.

I appreciate what he did for me

I had a problem with my mother in laws neighbor and got arrested and charged in two different cases. they also got an injunction against me saying that I was doing all kind of stuff I did'nt do. I got to Gary Cole after my first attorney didnt do nothin on my case. Gary Cole got me probation on one o...f the cases and got the other dropped. I appreciate what he did for me.

Gentleman and a scholar

This man has helped me incredibly. Whenever the law and the piggies want to ruin your life, this is the man to fight for you. Im not padding this feedback like all the other reviews these crook attorneys have. This man is the truth! He is humble but stern and knows both ends of the law. Much respect....
