Seek Appropriate Counsel to Fight your DUI Case, I'm glad I did!

I am very pleased and appreciative of how my DUI case was handled by Mr. Casey’s firm. Since day one when I made the initial phone call to seek a consultation, and throughout the entire process, the administration staff was always professional and maintained constant communication with me about the p...rogress of my case. On several occasions when we had to review certain details about my case, I opted to meet with Ms. Angelos & Mr. Casey in person, which they always accommodated without limitation of time and were very helpful in keeping me informed about the legal avenues and strategies that would be exercised in resolving my case against California DMV and the San Diego City Attorney’s Office. I was particularly pleased about how tenacious and determined Ms. Angelos was in standing up to California DMV with legal grounds to have the DMV judgment suspended. I highly recommend Mr. Casey’s firm to anyone that may need DUI representation. You will be in good hands.

Teen age drama

My 19 year old daughter was sited for driving a motor vehicle under 21 years of age with a blood-alcohol concentration of 0.01 percent or greater. Her license was immediately suspended for one year. We contacted the office of Glenn Cole Casey for his assistance. His office represented us on require...d court appearances and communicated with the DMV on our behalf. They were able to reduce the charge to an infraction and process the application to the DMV that approved a Critical Need License for our daughter to drive to and from work and school during her license suspension period.

Charged and arrested for DUI in Oceanside July 2012

Facts: Cole is a straight up GANGSTER. I say that not to get your attention but to let you know this is a very authentic review, free of any political correctness. I was a manager in a very high profile job and was charged with a DUI and I needed the best. I had a couple options either to use my frat... brother whom was working from home and taking any case that came his way, or go to the first DUI attorney that pops up on Google ( MR. DUI)- sweet Guy but after I heard his sales pitch he pulled out a menu of his prices without hearing my case ( sorry but that was a Red Flag), or sit in a court room and observe attorneys in their backyard. I chose the latter. After sitting in court all day I almost gave up because all I saw was overworked under payed and horribly dressed scared to death ROOKIES. Until Cole walked in of course. The guy walked in with a swagger and confidence of what you think a real attorney should have. Italian suite with a hanky (lol) and a relationship with the Judge whom got excited to see Cole. Long story short I approached Cole and said this is what happen I need you to represent me. He gave me his card and I called his office later that day and his office was prepared for me before I called it was amazing. His team that included the lovely Ms. Woods and gorgeous staff worked diligently on my case . Ms. Woods lead the DMV case which went all the way to the State Supreme court, and Cole worked on the criminal case. Oside PD claimed my blood was 0.08 and that I failed the sobriety check. Well what I can tell you is that my DL was never suspended, Cole sued the DMV on my behalf and they folded, my blood was re tested and it showed 0.07 . I never stepped in court. DUI was dropped. If your serious about getting results then Cole in my opinion is your only option. He tells you the way it is on day one. No sugar on top just to the point. When the DMV or the prosecution hear or see your being represented by his office I assure you things change. Thats why I refer to him as Gangster because he is feared by the prosecution period. Why.. because he knows the law and he is very resourceful, tactful, motivated to bat .1000 not .900 0r .350 but .1000! Cole has motivated me to get into Law, I am now preparing for my LSAT go figure.

COLE AND ALISHA WON AN "UNWINNABLE" DMV HEARING

3 October 2012: Cole's associate, Alisha Wood, Esq., prevailed in my Administrative Per Se ("APS") DMV hearing, preventing me from having my license suspended while I fight a charge of DUI. I am aware that the DMV administrative hearing process is a very difficult forum for the driver ('respondent").... I had therefore assumed that the DMV hearing was "unwinnable". I could not be happier with the representation I have received to date from Mr. Casey and his firm.

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. The last time I saw one of Cole's trials, the police officer rushed out of courtroom with tears in his eyes."
