"Right Man for the Job"

Mr Casey handled my case in a very professional and admirable manner, ultimately leading to a dismissal of my case. Having my first experience with a lawyer been with Cole was an enjoyable experience. Mr. Casey's office staff was also very informative and always relayed messages or dealt with issue...s in a timely fashion. I would highly recommend this law office for any individual who might find themselves in a difficult position with the law like I did.

Cole Casey is Brilliant!!

Mr. Casey, hands down is the best defense DUI lawyer in Southern California. Cole is a true "fighter" and he never gave up on my case. My DUI case was incomprehensible demoralizing and complicated, yet Cole took my case with confidence, determination and professionalism. In addition, Cole's staf...f was always helpful and very supportive. I highly recommend this law firm to anybody who wants a NOT GUILTY verdict. The end results of my trial were: 1. Not guilty to driving under in influence. 2. Not guilty of having a BAC over 8%. 3. Not guilty of having a BAC over 1.5 Yes, Cole Casey is Brilliant!!

My experience with Mr. Cole Casey's Law Practice

I cannot express my gratitude for the services of Mr. Casey's law firm and practice. I had an extremely involved and complicated case, due to the knowledge, skill and expertise of Mr. Cole Casey he immediately knew from the beginning how to handle the situation. I had previously been retained two... former attorney's prior to retaining Mr. Casey and it was not only a waste of time, but a waste of my money and resources. After being totally humiliated by Dan Smith at the United trial group, I was exhausted and Mr. Cole Casey was my absolute last resource. I wish I would have come across his service from the beginning, as it would have saved me valuable time and peace of mind. Mr. Casey's entire team is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and kind. Every time I appeared in their office, they made it a point to ensure that I was comfortable and never did I feel any negative judgement from anyone about my situation. They have a very highly confidential practice and even the communications amongst the staff was extremely positive. The entire team has a synergy, that was definitely lacking at the two previous attorney's I had retained prior to retaining Mr. Casey. Not once did I get the feeling that they were trying to "Sell" me or "make a quick buck". Mr. Casey's calm demeanor, patience and knowledge is unmatched in comparison by far. It was such a relief and pleasure to work with a professional team who all seemed to enjoy their roles and support of their clients. If ever I had to refer an attorney & practice, it would be Mr. Glenn Cole Casey. Don't waste your time not knowing if the team you're retaining will be worth the "savings" or "time", its your life and future, entrust it to someone who has the skill, ability, resources, proven track record, and not to mention proper & appropriate connections and professional affiliations like, Mr. Casey, to ensure you the highest level of protection, validity and best outcome for your case. If it weren't for the services of Mr. Casey, my situation would have not been successfully handled at all. I am confident that Mr. Casey & his team are more than prepared to handle ANY situation involving DUI components. Like previously mentioned, my situation was extremely complicated and sensitive in that it crossed several jurisdictions, and after several failed attorney retention attempts, I finally found Mr. Casey and wished I had found him first. Mr. Casey made me feel very comfortable and reassured me through out the entire process that everything would be OK. The team never got tired of me calling and asking questions. They were very prompt with following up and even checking up to make sure I understood everything and to answer any questions I may have had. Mr. Casey's Open Door policy gave me the reassurance that they weren't hiding anything or taking advantage of people. No matter how upset or afraid I got with my case, Mr. Casey & his team, never once made me feel insignificant or small for my lack of knowledge or understanding, they were very diligent in explaining the various processes to me over and over until I got it, and understood. Another thing, Mr. Casey's confidence never came off as arrogance and he gave plenty of room for me to ask questions and address any concerns I had by validating my point of view and informing me of correct procedures. Mr. Casey was very kind, and extremely helpful because he is an Expert in his field and truly knows what he is doing. Absolutely positively retain Mr. Cole Casey, he is not only the best, but has ability to prove it, not only that, your future is worth having the best with such a serious matter. I am more than pleased with the services I received from Mr. Casey and his team!

Miracle Worker

I was arrested on a second DUI during the probationary period of my first DUI. Needless to say, I was terrified of the consequences. Mr. Casey was able to plea to a wet reckless for me, which I've been told is a very difficult task under these circumstances. Not only does it make a difference with th...e state of CA, classes, service and fines, but it's also a major reduction in my overall level of stress. I can't thank him enough for his hard work and attention to my case. If I had listened to everyone else, and gotten a "cheap" lawyer, I guarantee that lawyer would not have gone to bat for me the way Mr. Casey did, and thus, I would not have had the outcome that I was awarded. The old adage is true--you get what you pay for. Mr. Casey was the best investment I've made in long time.

Everyone in the Law Office of G. Cole Casey was professional, polite and helpful. Matt Terry did an outstanding job looking at every aspect of my DMV hearing and I am very satisfied with the peace of mind I was given by knowing I could trust my representation.

"I endorse this lawyer. He does one thing and he does it better than anybody else-- Cole Casey is a master of DUI Defense. His aggressive courtroom demeanor and his vast wealth of knowledge and experience in the field make him a daunting opponent for any Prosecutor (they would rather capitulate and settle the case then proceed against him in court). Furthermore, Cole Casey gets fantastic results for his clients. Quite often, he turns a hopeless situation into a victory and is able to give his clients both a future and some peace of mind. If you are in need of DUI Defense, there is only one answer: Cole Casey. He is an absolutely outstanding attorney."

"I met Cole Casey many years ago at the National College for DUI Defense Summer Session at Harvard Law School, where I attended a workshop on opening statements he was teaching. Being asked by the NCDD to teach a "breakout session" is an honor reservered for those the National College considers the best. I agree with that assessment. Cole Casey is not only one of Southern California's best DUI lawyers, but he is also one of the best in the country."

"Cole Casey is the "go to" lawyer on DUI. His approach to his cases are the same as his approach to life - 100% or its not worth doing. He is a pit bull - intimidating to those who don't know him, a fierce guardian to those he protects, and a lethal opponent to those who cross him. It is no wonder why he has earned the reputation of being one of the finest DUI lawyers in the country."

"I've had the good fortune to know Cole for quite a while now through the National College for DUI Defense, and it is a true pleasure to take this brief time to endorse his work. A fighter by nature and by choice, Cole leaves no stone unturned and takes no prisoners when acting as his clients' champion. Very few lawyers have taken the time or given the level of effort to master his craft as has Cole, and that he applies this same focus to each case in his office is what sets him apart from the crowd. I would confidently entrust my family members or friends to his capable hands."

Out of all of those incredibly dedicated, top shelf attorneys, Cole Casey gets my nod for tied for first place of them all - a very rare accolade - the best of the best.
