Solid as a rock, reassuring and above all knowledgeable in all things DUI

Mr. Casey was kind yet direct and gave no B.S. He was reassuring and incredibly knowledgeable in all things DUI . His calm demener and direct way of dealing with things was refreshing . He did everything he promised and closed the case successfully! He made a very diffacult time quite bareable and th...e outcome was exactly as he said it would be! THANK YOU MR. COLE!!!!!

Cole Casey has mastered his craft. I highly recommend him!

I hired Cole after I already had a different attorney who basically sat on my case and did nothing for almost two years. Cole took over my case a week or two before trial, and wasted no time getting ready for war in the courtroom. From the moment I hired Cole, I knew I was dealing with something... else entirely. He was a professional of the highest order, and his firm was a tight operation. As an attorney myself, I hope that I can one day have my own firm running with such efficiency. Which brings me to his staff of clerks, associates, receptionists-- they were all incredible. They didn't just take care of my legal matter, but they took care of me as a person, understanding that I was in a very stressful position. As for his legal acumen, Cole knew the process inside and out. He practices in one area, and he is simply an expert in it. In my view, he has mastered his craft. This isn't even debatable. At trial, Cole was brilliant. He chopped the expert witness into dust, and made her testimony seem silly and farcical. His style of cross-examining was so precise and balanced, that other attorneys in the building were coming in to watch him perform. It was pretty cool to see. Mr. Casey is a great trial attorney, and an absolute expert in his field. I will continue to send him clients whenever the situation presents itself because I know that clients are in good hands when he is representing them. If it sounds like I'm gushing, it's because I'm forever grateful for his efforts on my behalf, and he deserves nothing less than high praise.

This is the team you are looking for...

Mr. Casey and his team are without a doubt the best. From the moment I walked through the doors of their office until my case was finally resolved, I felt I was in excellent hands. They handled every detail of my case, and they did it with professionalism and attention to detail. Throughout all t...he filings, hearings, and court appearances, they made sure my time and schedule were minimally impacted, and I was able to enjoy my life while my case was being handled. Not only knowledgeable and tough in the court room, they are also very personable and accessible. I always felt like I was heard, understood, and cared about. I was constantly given accurate updates, and they patiently answered all of my questions. While being very positive and supportive, they are also very realistic with their advice, possible outcomes, and strategies. From the beginning, I knew they were familiar with the San Diego county legal-scape because they clearly laid out all the possible pitfalls and their contingency plans for these possibilities. At no point did I feel matters were not foreseen, and that I was not in very capable hands. With Mr. Casey and team at the helm, my case ended very favorably, and I hope they will work out for you too.

A Team worthy of a Medal

Having Cole represent me was easily the best decision I made in 2012. I always received fast responses and overall great communication! From day 1, Mr. Casey and his team put me at ease and took away my worries, so that I could focus on supporting my familly and not let this eat me alive inside.... A DUI or wet-reckless would have possibly caused me to lose my career and the only way to support my family. My expectations were definitely exceeded as I was not convicted of either of those charges. Nothing less than sheer confidence exudes from this agressive BULL of an attorney, which is exactly what you need on your side when facing any type of criminal charge. I am confident in this as I have dealt with many attorneys over the last 15 years, and he is sitting at the top! This is one fighter you do not want to be up against! Another sincere THANKS to The Glenn Cole Casey Team!

Cole's Team is TOUGH!

I was recently charged with my second DUI while on probation and was facing harsher penalties. The circumstances around my arrest was highly questionable and I have no doubt that I was going to fight it as my career was on the line. I looked around all of San Diego for highly experienced attorney's a...nd all of them basically gave up knowing second DUI's are difficult to fight. I called Cole Casey's office and he told me that I should speak to him in person. Note that Cole is really popular and has a reputation further research on this will confirm my statements. I quickly went to his office and was greeted by his staff whom made me feel at ease. I had previously worked with an attorney for my first DUI charge who did not do anything for me and basically played the Bait and Switch tactic and found out that he did not even represent me in trial and had others doing his work for him. So having this prior experience I found it difficult to trust Cole in the beginning. Once I explained the story to him he quickly said he would represent me and take the case I worked with a team of people from Ashley, Chris, Mary, Alisha and Cole himself I was updated every time I had questions and they always were happy to make sure I was at ease. Very important they made sure to keep me calm during this whole process. Everything is professional in this firm to the emails, fact findings, evidence gathering to simply being treated as with respect.. My case was probably one of their highlighted cases as it was very interesting as I was told by many of the attorneys. Although we put a lot of fight my case it had to go to trial being scared that I was Cole and his team assured me that they were confident. My whole life was on the line and I had lost the DMV hearing and this was the last straw and knowing stiffer penalties I was needless to say terrified. During trial I would like to say it is understatement to say that Cole and his team were a OUTSTANDING!. When Cole is in the court room you can feel and understand how much of a tough attorney he is. I have read similar reviews on him and was skeptical at first to know how tough Cole is and let me tell you by my experience. Cole is a force to reckon with. His reputation in the court room is in my experience at high standards. He is a fighter and will fight. When all was said they jury deliberated and came out with a Not Guilty! This meant it also overturned my DMV hearing that I lost. I have my life back thanks to Cole and his Elite Team! Thank you Chris, Mary, Alisha, Ashley and to Cole himself! Well respected law-firm and I will highly recommend them! I cannot thank you all enough!

"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."

"I have been a DUI attorney in San Diego since 1985. As of 2010, San Diego has a good number of simply outstanding DUI lawyers. 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. The last time I saw one of Cole's trials, the police officer rushed out of courtroom with tears in his eyes."
