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.

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.

Review for Cole White of While Law Offices

After first contacting Cole, I was able to quickly set up an initial review meeting where he was able to look over the paperwork for my Unemployment case. After a brief consultation, I retained Cole for the Appeal hearing I would face in the short future. He was up front, professional, and extremely ...knowledgeable. After my appeal hearing, the initial verdict was reversed in my favor. I was very confident I was being properly represented, and my trust was rewarded. Thanks Cole!

Attorney Cole J. White Knows His Stuff!!!!

I called Mr. White on a case in which I felt I had been violated by Police in the West Bend, Wi Area and I found him to be very knowledgeable. He was extremely helpful in knowing the laws and practices of Wisconcin. He was very kind and Understanding and Have a very Aggressive spirit with a genuine... desire to help me to know end. Mr. White may be young and may only have a couple years experience, but don't be fooled because he definitely has the knowledge, drive and Compassion to represent anyone in serious matters. Thank you Mr. White, and May God Bless you.

THOROUGH, TRUSTWORTHY AND PROFESSIONAL. NO SECOND GUESSING THIS LAWYER.

I hired Mr. White to defend my son who was facing some pretty serious drug charges. I was overwhelmed with what he was facing and suffice it say, coming undone. From my first meeting with Mr. White, my anxiety subsided. He spent a rather sufficient amount of time with me explaining just exactly what... my son was facing and laid it out in language I could understand. He quelled my fears and gave me some rock solid advice on which direction to go. My sons anxiety level came down several notches after speaking to Mr. White and has been able to get focused and make some very positive changes in his life. Attorney White looked at every angle imaginable and has been fighting for my sons civil rights from the beginning. I have complete trust in his work and not for one second have I second guessed his strategy. If you want a fighter for your rights, I would highly recommend Mr. White to defend you or your loved one.
