The best lawyer on planet earth!

Dana Cole got my 3 years of supervised release (probation) terminated and I’m now a free man. Not only did he win but he had the U.S. Attorney’s Office file a brief agreeing that the 3 years of supervised release should be terminated. This never happens but Dana did the impossible. If you wind up on ...the wrong side of the law, give Dana Cole a call. Freedom is everything! - Actor and iconic con man Steve Comisar

Very Recommended, Hard Working

The kind nature of my husband put him in a criminal charge and every lawyer we hired agreed that there is no way to dissolve this charge and my husband must accept it. Till we found Mr. Dana Cole, I really don’t know what I should say, Dana is not that lawyer who shows his skills and vast experience ...but I can say that I dealt with the very smart and the most intelligent criminal lawyer. On the Trial day, he was like an eagle that find its prey. The only expressions that I heard from everyone who attended my husband trial was “WOW! How did you know this lawyer?” it was obvious for each one his genius argument to show the truth to the Judge and the Jurors and the result was the 12 jurors agreed that my husband is NOT guilty and it was another surprise for all of us and above our expectations. “an evidence beyond any reasonable doubt” I really want to tell everyone who has a criminal charge to don’t accept to plead guilty and go for Dana Cole, the lawyer who work hard for his clients in silence. Dana, I would like to take the chance to Thank you making the impossible possible. Your sense of brilliance and professionalism, I will never forget. Words alone do not express my gratitude to the expert ending of this nightmare. All my family and my husband family will always be grateful. God Bless You.

From the moment I met him, I knew Dana was the lawyer for my family member.

When you need a lawyer, you will probably be like me and go through a period of floundering. I checked Yelp and other online resources, the bar association, the basic legal plan I have at work, and friends' recommendations. You're probably going through the same process or you wouldn't be reading thi...s. You can probably stop now because you've found Dana Cole. Dana was recommended by a fried of a friend of a friend. And I will be forever grateful to them. From the second you meet Dana, you'll be impressed by two opposite characteristics. You can see in him the quick, inventive mind that would be able to do battle with serious opponents and protect your interests. And he is also amazingly empathetic, warm and compassionate at the same time. You don't find this combination in people very often. My case centered around my family member (I'm purposely trying to be vague so as not to embarrass loved ones) who was arrested and jailed overnight with a felony charge. Needless to say a felony charge gets your attention and you want to make the strongest possible statement in response. Dana Cole is that statement. When I was sitting in court with him and feeling the full possibilities of what we were facing, I was so thankful that Dana was by my side. As it turns out, my case with Dana became two cases with the addition of a temporary restraining order on top of the felony charge, but Dana took that in stride. And continued to represent us in both cases for the same fee. (A fee that I felt was more than fair considering everything that was at stake and the quality of the representation I was getting in Dana.) Nothing about these cases went quickly or easily, but Dana was there with us the whole way, holding our hands and sometimes providing tough love and a good talking to when it was required. Ultimately the restraining order was dropped, and the felony charges as well, and there were no repercussions or penalties and no black marks on anyone's records. A very happy ending for all concerned. We never went to trial so I can't speak to that aspect of working with Dana Cole. But I can say that if I'm ever facing a felony charge, I will reach into my wallet for the card that is always with me and I will call Dana Cole.

the right man for the job

Dana represented me in my defense and saved my life as well as 15 years of my freedom. He was able to communicate his points accurately and completely to an already seemingly confused jury. He walked me through a delicate trial and he was able to bring into focus the points and issues he needed the j...ury as well as the judge and prosecution to view differently in order to raise doubt. We eventually settled with a 120 day jail sentence and 3 years probation. He is a fantastic litigator and works very hard at being the best attorney in the room. He is well respected and ultimately referred to me by a retired criminal judge who was a family friend. Thank you Dana. I owe you many years of gratitude. God bless.
