      Review Cole Sherard

      DUI CASE

      Posted by

      Above all else, to me a good lawyer is someone who will go above and beyond to represent his client. Cole N. Sherard is not a good lawyer. He's GREAT ONE! Throughout the process of my case it was almost as if he was once step ahead and continuously using all of his knowledge, expertise, and resources to see my case through. He always kept me informed and tirelessly worked around the clock to fight for me. The upmost professional, yet down to earth lawyer I know. He broke down all the formalities clearly and concise so that even I could understand what was going on. If you need a lawyer that is worth every cent you put into your case then Cole N. Sherard is the lawyer for you. Thank you, Cole N. Sherard, for fitting me into your busy schedule and seeing my case through. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

      Cole was my legal representation during a lengthy process for a DUI. He was extremely knowledgeable about the process and the specific laws in Wyoming. Cole was thorough and kept me updated at every step of the way. Everything worked out in the end in my favor and it wouldn't have happened if I didn't hire Cole Sherard. Highly recommended ten times over.

      Excellent lawyer! Hands down the best around!

      Posted by

      Cole's representation was outstanding. He was very professional and extremely helpful. Especially, when it came to walking me through things I did not understand. He explained every possible scenario, but always gave me peace of mind that he was doing everything thing in his power to get the best outcome. The biggest thing that made me hire Cole, was the fact that he truly cares. After our first conversation he asked me how I was holding up. He then continued to make sure I was doing ok through the whole process. He always made sure I was informed about my case and was prompt to return all my phone calls. He is very personable and easy to talk to! Cole is passionate about what he does. I would recommend Cole for anyone who needs help regarding a case with criminal law. Thank you so much Cole for all you have done for me!

      Quick, resourceful, professional. Given a difficult situation Cole got my case dismissed!

      Posted by

      I had the pleasure and good fortune to come across Cole and his defense network. I had a pending case from 2014 in Wyoming and I’m from California. I found Cole online and set up a consultation with him to go over my case. From the first phone call Cole showed extreme professionalism and was familiar with the type of case I was dealing with. Cole had a direct plan of attack and played out all my possible options and extended his hand out far beyond what was necessary during a phone consultation. This is why I decided to hire Cole to represent me. He guided me through everything and set really good expectations. On top of everything I had an sensitive case given my legal status and he connected me with his colleague who was able to answer all my concerns. After all was said and done Cole dissected the evidence against me and all charges were dropped. It turned out to be the best case scenario. I will always be specifically careful in the state of Wyoming but I also know that I have a great attorney there. Thanks a million Cole!

      Best lawyer to hire

      Posted by

      Best lawyer for dui. I first called Mr. Cole with my case and explained my whole situation he was the only lawyer that would answer and actually cooperate with me. I’m working here in Wyoming so Mr. Cole could only contact me over the phone. He got my case dropped effortlessly. The man is great at his job. I will no doubt hire him again.

      Justice for all

      Posted by

      Mr. Sherard is an outstanding attorney. I was in a really tough situation with the court system and the evidence against me was overwhelming. Mr. Sherard is relentless at looking at the evidence and finding mistakes and blunders, he was able to beat the system on a technicality in my case. If you are in a jam, go see Cole now. DM
