After having hired three other attorneys that sat in the court room with nothing to say to help me in my case. I finally hired Deno and I just wish I had done so from the very beginning. Deno is very smart and knows the laws and put a stop to the Juvenile Judge and DCS dragging me and my children through the ringer even though I did not get 100% of what I wanted Deno was able to get more done in a timely manner and did not waste my money. I have plans to appeal my case as soon as the order is signed and I plan to continue to use Deno to represent me. I highly recommend Deno to anyone who has said they need legal counsel. Deno ' s assistant is also amazing and very helpful!
I am a trial lawyer and have been one for 18 years. As such, I focus my practice on personal injury and criminal defense. When you are making a decision to hire an attorney, make sure that your attorney has the experience to take a case to trial and to the appellate level, if necessary. On average, I try about three jury trials and dozens of non-jury trials each year. I typically handle at least one appeal each year. Although most cases resolve themselves short of trial (through mediation or otherwise), you will get the best result when you are prepared to go to a trial.

Family Attorney | May 13
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
"Deno is not only a highly ethical and professional attorney, he has considerable experience zealously representing his clients.
My experience has been that he is readily available to his clients and even opposing counsel to assist in the prompt fair resolution of his cases."
Unknown Attorney | Apr 25
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
"I endorse Deno Cole. We have represented opposing parties in several family law cases over the years. Deno has always aggressively represented his clients while exhibiting the highest degree of professional courtesy. I have turned to him on several occasions with questions on bankruptcy and he has proven to be very knowledgeable in that area of the law. Anyone is well served to hire Deno."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
"Custody matters can easily turn nasty, but professional attorneys should be able to cooperate and work toward a resolution for the child's best interests, while advocating for their respective clients. Deno is a true professional. We were able to work together productively, and I respect his knowledge and attitude towards his work."
"It would be hard to find a lawyer who has more knowledge in more areas of the law than does Deno Cole. Deno is smart and efficient, and he fights hard for his clients. He has a sophisticated understanding of both legal theory and its practical application, and his ethics are unshakeable. Well before I started practicing law with Deno, he helped me get my start in my legal practice in Knoxville, after I had been practicing primarily criminal law in Kentucky. If I have any legal questions, I go to Deno, as do a number of other lawyers. If I were to need legal help, there is no one I would trust more with my case."

Relationship: Worked for lawyer
"I endorse this lawyer. Deno is a rare breed of lawyer. He's honest, smart, professional, and a genuinely good person. I've worked with and against him. It's always a pleasure and the outcomes are always fair and reasonable."
Family Attorney | Oct 25
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
"I endorse this lawyer. I've watched Deno work from the time I was a judicial clerk to having him as co-counsel to having him as an opposing. Deno gets it. He knows the law, he doesn't play games, and he gets stuff done. If more lawyers were like Deno, the bar would be a better place."
Criminal defense Attorney | Aug 17
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
"Mr. Cole represented a client of mine in a previous matter. I contacted his office to further assist our mutual client. Mr. Cole was immediately responsive in providing information to the benefit of our client and very knowledgeable in the subject matter addressed."
