Posted by anonymous | April 15, 2025 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

Gave Cole White $2500 and he never contacted me again.

Several years ago before his suspension, I hired Cole on an DUI case which we ended up losing. I asked Cole White to pursue an appeal and I gave him another $2500 with receipts to prove it. He never contacted me again afterwards. I sent certified letters, called the office, texted his phone and absol...utely no answers, no call backs. Please google this man and his violations before you decide to do any type of business with him. I contacted the OLR said they can’t pursue him cause at this time he’s not practicing due to suspension.

A great lawyer and a great man

I'm an older man that has never been in trouble before in my life. So when I got charged with a bunch of lies, I had no idea what to do or how to deal with it. It was a nightmare. A friend of mine that's a judge i\ told me that if he was ever in any kind of trouble the lawyer he would hire was Cole W...hite. That was good enough for me. I called Mr. White and he was able to get me in to talk to him really quickly and right away I felt so much better about my situation. Mr. White knows his stuff. He's a very impressive young man. He took the time to talk to me, understand my situation and answered all of my questions before I even asked that -- that's how good he is, he just understood what kinds of questions and concerns I would have right away. He walked me through the process, was always available to talk. The only thing I didn't like as much was that he really prefers texting over phone calls, and I don't like texting. But it was a small inconvenience for such high-quality representation. At the end of the day, Mr. White talked with the DA and the judge and got everything thrown out. It was very important for me to clear my name and Mr. White delivered that. I can't imagine what might have happened if I hadn't hired Mr. White. I cannot recommend this outstanding lawyer more highly.

Amazing Attorney

Cole is awesome! I came to him after getting charged with serious stuff along with my boyfriend. I thought my life was basically over. Cole took a lot of his time talking to me and explaining everything in a way that really made sense to me . He is so nice and funny and talks like a real person not l...ike a lot of these other lawyers that are really stiff and act like they are better then you. He was understanding that my case had cost me my job and worked with me on payments to help me out. I never thought lawyers would be like that, like you see on tv where they are jerks and just about money but Cole seemed like he really wanted to help me and he did. he busted his butt and got the whole case basically thrown out. I hope I never have to see the inside of a court or jail again but if I do I will definetly call Cole just like I tell anyone I know that get in trouble.

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.
