Excellent lawyer who took care of every detail

If you are looking for a personal injury lawyer who is knowledgable, empathetic, and follows through, call Cole. He is easy to talk to and easy to get a hold of when you need him. We were very pleased with the final settlement because Cole kept us informed and walked us through each step of the pr...ocess. We found Cole to be incredibly ethical and more than fair. He keeps his word. He also has a terrific assistant in Tina. She is a brilliant and kind person. Thank you, Cole and Tina, for your fine work on our case.

Highly Recommended - Used Cole for TWO Auto Accidents

Cole is amazing! I retained him as my lawyer in 2008 for my PI case, (almost 3 years after my car accident.) I was in a very serious car accident and was living in constant pain regardless of all the treatments I had done to that point. My case was incredibly complex and most lawyers didn't even wan...t to take the time to hear me out because I had pursued many medical avenues in search of getting out of pain, including some treatments that were more holistic. They didn't think it would be worth their trouble and time in the end because it wasn’t a clear cut-n-dry type of case. Cole, on the other hand, heard my case and was willing to take me on as a client, despite the difficulty of the case. He helped point me in various directions for other treatments that could help my pain because he cared more about getting me out of pain than the amount of money he could possibly receive at the end. Due to the continued medical treatment and the complexity of my case, we settled this past summer in 2012. I am so incredibly grateful for Cole’s hard work and honesty. I have never met a lawyer that shoots as straight as he does. And, I have never met a lawyer who genuinely cared for their client like he did for me. While handling my case, I was involved in another accident – which he promptly resolved on my behalf. In both of my cases, he was realistic about what kind of outcome I should expect. He answered every question I had, and kept me informed on what was going on and what would happen next. As a businessman, he is great at returning calls and emails, incredibly knowledgeable, genuine, fair, and has a wonderful staff. And, to top it all, he is the most down-to-earth lawyer I have ever encountered. My husband and I have recommended him (and continue to recommend him) to friends, family, and clients. I don’t want these words to put him on an unfair pedestal, but I truly consider myself blessed to have had him as my attorney!

Cole Sorenson review

Cole is very knowledgeable about this type of case; straight forward regarding fees. His estimate of what the case was worth was right in the middle of the range he predicted. I was not disappointed. He covered all the basics of regarding time and process.Cole would return my calls and I always got ...a quick response to questions via email/phone. Cole is diligent and prepared. I was impressed with his efficient office staff as all concerned seemed genuinely to care about me as a person and not just as a client. I would definitely recommend Cole to anyone needing an attorney.

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.”
