The Best!

I was fired from my job after about eight months due to discrimination. I spoke to a few other attorneys and I felt like no one really cared about what I was going through. I was referred to Mr. White by a friend who had hired Cole on a different type of case and he was very impressed by him. From th...e minute I sat down in his office I felt like Cole really cared about helping ME. He took a lot of time to listen and to explain things to me about the law and was very informed about the law. He took my case and I immediately felt like things were going to be ok. He was available to take my calls, texts and emails and was always quick to get back to me. He always gave me the info I needed to be informed about my case. Eventually, he was able to secure a settlement from my former boss that was many times over what I would have made if I stayed at the job. By the end of the case I felt like Cole wasn't just my lawyer but a good friend. I'd recommend Cole to any one. If you want a lawyer that really cares and fights hard and gets results, this is the guy!

Home with my kids because of cole

Cole took on my case after other lawyers told me I just needed to take the deal the DA was offering, which was five years in prison. He took his time to understand the case and the facts and to make sure I understood what the law was. He was available to me all the time and got back to me really qui...ck when I had some questions. He faught for me and that was important and he was right there with me. When we went to trial he was prepared he asked awesome questions and really showed the cops were lying about things. I went home to my kids and girlfriend that day. This man is awesome.

Very friendly, and helpful. Willing to go the extra mile!

Cole White was very helpful in every aspect that I needed from him. Always tried to have time for me, and if he didn't he was back to me in a hurry. I had no question go unanswered and learned a lot from the man. I trust Cole with any kind of problem I may have. Always willing to help and go even fu...rther into the problem to help more. He knows his laws and follows them to the T. Look no further he's the attorney for you. Thanks Cole.

Excellent, Professional Lawyer

Cole White is intelligent, caring and well informed. He grasps complex situations quickly and delivers advice in a concise and understandable way. I know he always has his clients welfare in mind. Mr. White is representing a local group of businesses that are fighting a "big box" store from movin...g into our "main street program" district. He is using television, newspaper and social media to sway public opinion on our behalf and we all have the utmost confidence in his ability to speak publicly for us.
