Cole made the whole process easy for me,from the moment I inquired all the way up until the end.I was injured in the accident and suffered from whiplash,burns to my arms.He handled everything,all I had to do was sign some paperwork and keep in touch with him,he handled the rest of it.I definitely fee...l like I've been compensated for my totalled car and pain and suffering.I highly recommend hiring Cole as your lawyer if you want to things to be easy and fair.He has alot of great advice,quite the humor,and I'm just overall pleased.

Cream of the crop right here!

Cole was hired as my attorney two years ago after being in a roll over motor vehicle accident. I had broken my back and fractured my shoulder. I met Cole after being referred to him by my sister, because he also greatly helped her multiple times. Meeting Cole and talking to him the very first time I ...knew he was he lawyer for us. He isn’t like most other lawyers out there. He’s a straight shooter-no bullshit kind of guy. He doesn’t hide things from you and communicated with me every step of the way. Our journey together was long and took a great deal of patience from Cole and I. He never once gave up or told me to give up. He was ready to fight any battle that came our way. I would recommend Cole to ANYBODY that needed legal help. He is a self-less guy that wants to help people in anyway he can and he sure knows his stuff.

Cole Sorenson was very professional. The insurance company only want to pay a minimum. It was not enough to cover the medical bills. After exhausting his abilities with the insurance Company. Cole made a call to the Doctor for additional information. With this extra information from the docto...r, the insurance company was more then willing to settle. He also worked his magic with the insurance company by getting more money for my truck.

Honest and Direct

Cole represented me in a pedestrian/vehicle accident. I was the pedestrian. My case was not stellar [bad accident report and low insurance limits]; however, Cole was straight forward with me regarding my case and my odds of any monetary recovery. Cole worked the system and obtained the maximum monies... available. He negotiated with the companies who had a valid claim to the recovered monies fairly and always with my best interest as the focal point. He limited the out of pocket expenses tremendously. I received a settlement beyond Cole's estimation and more than I ever expected. I appreciated his honest approach with his handling of my case. I appreciated his direct and pointed discussions of my case. I was kept well informed, as Cole processed each step of my case. This made the whole process understandable and gave me peace of mind. Most attorney's would not have taken my case, but Cole at least was willing to step up to the plate and take a swing at it. He exceeded my expectations through his representation of me. In addition, I always appreciate a person who keeps perspective and never loses the ability to see humor in any situation. Cole's attributes of being a honest, direct, professional, and personable made my experience exceptional. It was a pleasure working with Cole to the successful outcome achieved.

Believe the 5 star reviews!

I was fortunate enough to have Cole Sorenson represent me for the first time in 1992 in an accident that was not my fault, but had the other driver was suing me. I was absolutely sick with worry about my case but Cole took the time to answers all of my questions thoroughly, and told me to let him ha...ndle the details. He went above and beyond, always either taking my calls or getting back to me quickly, AND the case was won in my favor. I have since had Cole represent me in two other times and he still gave the same outstanding care. I have recommended Cole to many people, something I wouldn't do unless I was completely confident in him.

Cole’s comment:

“I admit that I made mistakes in my past. But the very mistakes that I made have made me a better lawyer, father and overall person.The issues I had that lead to those mistakes were in the late 90's. Those days are long since past. Ask me what i did wrong and I will be happy to tell you. I do not hide from my past, because that "past" has made me who i am today.”
