G. Cole Casey

As a result of a moment of extremely poor judgment during a difficult time, I made the worst mistake of my life. I was arrested for a felony DUI with bodily injury and was facing severe consequences to include incarceration. I had never had any driving violations, encounters with police, or legal iss...ues of any kind in the past. I was feeling desperate, terrified, alone, and hopeless. At a moment in my life when I was overwhelmed with guilt and shame, Cole Casey treated me with dignity and offered the support and guidance I needed to regain my sense of self-worth. From my first meeting with Cole Casey, I walked away feeling confident I had hired the right defense team and was in good hands. Cole was honest and realistic, thoroughly explained the legal process, and set clear expectations from the beginning. He also explained the increased sense of confusion and delays related to COVID's impact on standard legal procedures. He and his team never over-simplified the case, made false promises, or steered me in the wrong direction. They were readily available to answer my phone calls or meet with me and offer me support and reassurance when I needed it. Cole provided solid legal counsel throughout the entire process leading to and after my final court hearing. Throughout the entire 16-month process, I felt well informed and represented. In addition to the professional handling of my case, I came to see that Cole Casey is highly respected within the San Diego County legal community, a benefit that I had not prior considered but for which I am so grateful. He and his team effectively highlighted my strengths, prior personal accomplishments, and contributions so that they would be considered at the time of sentencing. Having a lawyer that is well respected by his peers, judges, and courthouse staff standing by my side was essential in asking for careful consideration of my case. In the end, Cole and his team helped me avoid time in jail and house arrest, which, as the judge stated, is very rare in cases such as mine. I could not ask for a better outcome. Post-sentencing, I continue to receive support from Cole in dealing with the terms of my probation and establishing a plan for eventual expungement to clear my record. I highly recommend Cole Casey and his legal team. I honestly do not think I would be continuing to live my life as I am today if I had not had his expert representation.

I hired Cole for a first Offense DUI with enhancement.(I refused the breath test) I never had to set foot in a courtroom and he even plea bargained for no community service.He was patient with my case and struck a good deal for me. He was honest and forthright about what he could do and what the fe...es would be.Best of all he promised to have my record expunged once I completed the 5 yrs Informal probation.( As part of my case fees included)Sure enough 5 years later he took care of the Expungement..no questions asked or additional fees..Good Guy with a professional team.Call him if you need a good DUI..attorney..he is a specialist and honest.

Having a DUI and the looming consequences weighing on your mind is horribly stressful. It was my first DUI and I had no idea what to expect, what the process is and what punishments I would face. I met with several lawyers around sd and was unimpressed to say the least, but to be honest I didn't know... what to expect, I had never been in this position before. I booked a meeting with cole and he came in to meet me on a Saturday. I explained my unique circumstances and he listened intently and gave his opinion. He was the only lawyer I felt who was not only listening but trying to find a way to get me out of this. No detail was too small, he was engaged and passionate and made me feel confident that if there was a way to get me off he would find it. My unique DUI involved prescription drugs and alcohol and not only did Cole have experience defending people in my situation but he wanted to know if I was having troubles with it or if I had a problem. It was a small thing but it felt like he wanted to know I was in a good place mentally and emotionally even before he took a dollar. I was slightly hesitant about the price until I realized what it included. DMV court, criminal court, all meetings, coordinating Experts for trial, expungement, insurance reference and the list goes on. When I compared the costs to other lawyers, each of these were billed separately and so would add up to the same if not more than Cole. Best of all is he was hungry to defend me, the other lawyers were all thinking pleading guilty, Cole was ready to go to trial and ready to win. He knew my arresting officer, the prosecutor of my trial, more importantly her boss, the judge and just about everybody throughout the process. His team was in constant communication with me through every step. While his staff handled different aspects of my case ( they were great as well) it was cole meeting with me, calling me and more importantly standing by me in court. I saw one of the other lawyers I almost went with while in court and the disparity between their professionalism, confidence and even suit just reminded me what a great decision I had made. We were set to go to trial when my expert fell through (at no fault of cole). Cole had another top notch expert ready to go to bat the next day. We ended up settling for a reckless driving ( no other lawyer even thought that was possible). Cole called and made sure that was what I wanted and then made the deal. I am not exaggerating when I say Coles influence and connections directly resulted in the settlement of this case. Cole offered to cover the expert witness trial prep fees because he knew I was in financial straits at the time. I couldn't be happier with the out come and am waiting to get this expunged off my record ( another feature included in the initial price.) if I just wanted to plead guilty I might have gone with another cheaper lawyer. Cole explained the law to me and showed me I had a fighting chance and looking back on the trial and setup I am so relieved I did not tighten my wallet because this was a huge crossroad in my life and with the money I saved from my reduced charge I ended up paying less than if I went with a cheaper lawyer and plead guilty. I still recommend talking to other lawyers, but if you aren't visiting and seriously considering Cole Casey then you will seriously regret it.

Cole was there for me during one of the most demeaning and traumatic times in my life. He handled the situation professionally and helped me work through it. I can't thank Cole and his team enough for all the support they have given me and still continue to give. With Cole and team, they treat you... with respect and they take each case personally. The great thing about their team is that they are dedicated to helping you through the ENTIRE experience and not simply out to exploit your situation for their benefit as many lawyers who pray on people facing DUI charges often do.. In my case, the time finally came for the charges to be expunged and Cole was there for me again. As fate would have it, instead of expunging the charges from my record, a clerical error caused by a typo (literally the difference of a single period) resulted in a felony firearm related charge being put on my DMV record! Of course I was beside myself and anxious to get the error corrected. Cole's team (Mary & Chris) consoled me and went to the court to negotiate with the commissioner 4 times over several weeks to correct the situation! Every time, they said it was fixed but when I contacted the DMV, they said it was still there. I called their office often bugging them about the situation but they were always courtious. Finally they were actually able to get one of the senior counsel representatives from the DMV to call and apologize for the situation. Just yesterday the DMV confirmed that it has been completely removed from the record. YAY!! :D If you are in a situation where you need legal counsel in a DUI case, don't hesitate to retain Cole and team! You will not regret it.
