Worst attorney I have ever worked with
He didn't even know the details of the case when we went to court. Apparently didn't take notes or if he did he didn't refer to them before showing up. Did not do his job and then he slandered me

Our legal go to guy
My boss and my family all think of Roy Cole when we need legal advice and representation. He has handled it all for us. Criminal and accident/injury. He is fluent in Spanish and that has been good for some of our workers.

Today I reached a settlement and avoided jail thanks to Mr. Cole helping me. I have been around the legal sy...

What Plea Deal?
After paying Mr. Cole over $9000, he did not communicate a plea deal offered to me by the state. He made a decision not to accept the plea without even talking to me.

“This was a part of three cases I handled as a young attorney under direction of a more senior attorney and I got caught up in a situation he knew was unethical and I believed him. It was my own fault.”
Public Reprimand issued in UT, 2008
updated on 03/05/2015This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
Roy’s comment:
“This was a part of three cases I handled as a young attorney under the direction of a more senior attorney and I got caught up in the situation he knew was unethical and I believed him. It was own fault for being more vigilant, after he died I aided the bar in the investigation and we found that he had taken lots of money from clients and that I had not received anything I should not have.”
Reciprocal - Public Reprimand issued in UT, 2007
updated on 10/24/2016This means that the attorney's misconduct in another state, or jurisdiction, also violated the rules for practicing law in Utah.
Roy’s comment:
“This was the first of three cases I got caught up in as a young attorney back in 2002 where I was acting under a senior attorney who knew he was being unethical but did not case and I believed him without doing any research into the matter. I should have looked into it, my fault for not looking into it.”
