Best Lawyer around

I was facing a really bad situation and a lot of time behind bars. I had a public defender that kept telling me that i just had to take a plea and that there was nothing they could really do to help. A friend of mine told me to call his lawyer. It was the best decision i could have made. Cole is so ...smart and knows the law inside and out. He gave it to me straight and immediatly put me at ease. I didn't have much money and cole was really great about working with me and taking payments. He went to work on my case and got half of the charges dismissed right away and worked hard to get the others reduced and he did. From being told i had no choice but to take a bad deal and go to prison, cole got it so that i only had to do a little county time and got put on the bracellet. he was worth every penny hiring cole was the best decision i could have made and if i ever get in trouble again i will totally call cole!

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.

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.
