Breath of Fresh AIR

I found myself out of town in franklin county facing a simple possession case. With this being my first offense ever my mind was all over the place. I received a citation that night and received a court date in Williamson county court. I didnt know anyone in this area so of course i went to the inter...net.I quickly found out that this County was really strick on even a small case such as this.After looking and talking to several attorneys i came across Mr Cauley.I called his number and he picked up right away.I must tell you after we talked and i explained my case,he put my mind at ease .He explained to me the pros and cons and what he possibly do for me.I retained his services immediately .He went to the first court date for me and got it kicked out till after the holidays. By me being from out of town this was a plus. I arrived for court on Jan 10th 2017 and we met for the first time.Mr Cauley got to court early and spoke to the prosecutor before court and a deal was made on my behalf.By the time i went before the judge i was granted diversion and probation and court fines which was ok with me.I must tell you 3 people b4 me was given jail time for the same charge.So when i tell you Mr Cauley was the best money i ever spent is no lie. So even with something as small as simple possession in Williamson County i would recommend you giving Mr Cauley a call. He Truly Is A Breath Of Fresh Air..Thanks Again Mr Cauley For All You Did.

Consultation put my fears to rest.

After an unfortunate but minor first incident on the night of New Years Eve, I was nervous about what to expect on my court date. Being new to this whole situation, I wanted a professional opinion, and John was honest, candid, and very knowledgeable of the court procedure I was soon to experience. He... put my mind at ease with his confident explanation of what to expect and how to handle my situation. If I ever need representation, I know I can count on John's vast experience and timely responsiveness.

Calmness and entrusting him was easy

This man I will now consider for any future issues with hopes there aren't any. He will be considered my friend also. He has an way in this field that I was able to let go and give that trust and fear to him. He was more than perfect. Best decision ever and will recommend to anyone. Well almost. Ha. ...

Beyond Expectations

I have retained many attorneys over the years and have never have one go above and beyond all expectations such as John Cauley. I would highly recommend that anyone needing legal counsel stop searching after speaking with Mr. Cauley .

What's best for you.

I recently spoke with Mr. Cauley about an upcoming case and asked some pertinent questions as to what directions he felt would be best for my particular situation. He was honest without hesitation and put me on the path to success with no regard to his wallet. He also took time out of his busy day ...to research a totally different concern and never asked for a dime., actually he refused it! Mr. Cauley is a fine lawyer and any of his colleagues will tell you that. But more importantly, he's not just about his money. He has real concern for your best interest. This man is a wise choice!
