Best Damn Lawyer

This is the man! I got myself into a jam in Milwaukee a while back and it was going to cost me my job and everything I worked for. Mr. White took the time to meet with me and helped me understand my rights and everything. He even took the time to talk with me after hours and stuff and always returned... my calls or texts even for stupid questions I had. It was like having a friend that also is an amazing lawyer to. Int he end he got the case against me dropped and helped me save my job. Id probably be in jail or living in a box if it weren't for him. All I can say is thank you so so much Cole. I tell anyone I know if they need a lawyer, they better call cole, like he says lol.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND

I cannot express the gratitude I have for Attorney Cole White. From the moment I met with him I knew I was in the best hands possible. He understands the law and what's more important, he makes sure you understand. Having to deal with situations concerning the law, the courts, can be a stressful, dau...nting ordeal but Cole made the process so much easier. He was straightforward and honest from the start and kept me informed every step of the way. He truly cared about my case and worked tirelessly to get it resolved with the best outcome possible. I highly recommend Atorrney Cole White, I can't imagine working with anyone else. Thank You Cole.

Attorney Cole J. White is a life saver!

I can not thank this man enough. I came to Mr. White 7 months ago with some very complicated matters. I live on the west coast but grew up in Wisconsin. Not knowing anything I contacted local attorneys who advised me to obtain counsel in Wisconsin, but before I got the chance to my wife had spoken wi...th Cole who informed her that he would be able to help. AND DID HE. After a phone conference with us he quickly went to work receiving necessary documents from me, then filing with the courts. His incite was keen as he understood the impact this could have on not only me but my wife and our 2 sons. Mr. White KNOWS HIS LAW. Throughout the process Cole was extremely patient and reassuring. He made my wife and I feel like he cared and that my cases were a priority for him. He tactfully went to bat for me while being mindful of the court's process. In the end attorney Cole J. White got dismissals of both charges for me. If you're looking for counsel in Wisconsin and you come across Mr. White please do not hesitate to hire Cole for he is intelligent, talented, inspired and very personable.

Civil Rights, Due Process

Great understanding of Civil Rights Laws, will take on the tough cases, will not back down from big Government cases. Understand the U.S. Constitution laws that protect all citizens.
