Simply the Best

When I was arrested on a DUI charge, I was in a panic. This was my first DUI, but it was going to do severe damage to my career. I met with Cole to discuss the case. He reviewed the details and assured me he could help. Sure enough, with his experience and expertise in DUI cases he was able to negoti...ate my charge down to a reckless driving. I owe my career and future earning potential to this man. He saved me, and I owe him a huge debt of gratitude. If you need an attorney, I highly recommend you talk to Cole Casey first. Cole will work things out in the most favorable way possible for you.

SAVED MY LIFE & CAREER

I was arrested in Oct. of 2011 for my 3rd DUI in 10 years in CA and for those of you familiar with the penalty it carries a minimum of 120 days in jail. I interviewed 4 attorneys that specialize in DUIs. The first told me to rush a guilty plea through and do the time asap and get it over with and th...at there was no point in fighting it, I would lose. The second and third attorneys both gave me an elaborate story on how they would use expert toxicologists to prove what I ate and my current stress level because of work caused my BAC to rise. When i met with Cole he said I had to do go above and beyond to not go to jail so he suggested I voluntarily be put on SCRAM (alcohol monitor), enroll in and intensive out patient drug and alcohol rehab program and that i start seeing a one on one drug and alcohol therapist. I did it all and ended up wearing the SCRAM bracelet for 9 months but now just signed a change of plea to do 5 months of Electronic Monitoring (house arrest) which allows me to go to and from work and sleep in my bed and night. Thank God for Cole Casey, Chris Sohovich, and Vivian Ruelas!

Caring, Professional Lawyer at the highest level

A little over a year ago, I was involved in a DUI accident that had me thinking there was no way to move forward from. While incarcerated with little to no hope in my life, I met Matt from Cole's office. Matt immediatly gave me the feeling that I was in great hands and that Cole and team would do eve...rything in their power to work at getting the best possible result out of my case. When I was released and met Cole, Vivian and Matt, I was overwhelmed with the care that Cole and staff expressed while working in my case. My family and I always felt like we were in the best hands that we could have hired in San Diego. While working with Cole in my case, he and his staff always kept me informed while working through things as the case went on. I feel that throughout the case, Cole did the best possible job one could do, and I have never once had any regret of hiring Cole Casey. Cole always gave me the most information that he could give me to make the best possible decision for myself and my family. Cole gave me great advice throughout my case while always leaving the final decision up to me. If you get into a situation where you are looking for a lawyer like Cole, I wouldn't think twice about hiring Cole Casey. If you can be honost, listen to his suggestions, and will do anything to move forward from the situation that you are in, there is no better lawyer to hire than Cole Casey and staff. My family and I are forever grateful to Cole and his staff and could not even come close to repay them. Cole, Matt and Vivian did a great job in working in my case and always gave me the impression that they sincerely cared about me and my future. Do not hesitate to hire Cole if you need a DUI lawyer.

A second chance

I am eternally grateful to Cole Casey, Vivian, Matt and all of the professionals in their practice. I made a very significant error in judgment one evening. As a result of some actions that I am not proud of I impacted not just my life, but the lives of others as well. In the days following my accide...nt and arrest I did not think there was a path forward. I was very converned for the individual that I injured in my accident and depressed and remorseful over my actions. In sitting down in Cole Casey’s office with Matt for the first time, something immediately felt different. This was not just a case for them, not just another client to charge fees, they were interested in the background, the circumstances, the events not only of that night but of the circumstances that lead up to that night. I met Cole shortly thereafter and I was struck by the fact that not only did he want to help, but he was genuinely concerned about the well being of the injured party as well as my family. This was a consistent pattern, Cole always had not only my best interests in mind, but genuine care for the victim I involved. He wanted a solution that allowed all parties to move forward. Cole was very patient and honest with me. He operates on very simple principles actually. Be open and honest with him, accept responsibility for your part, listen to him and he will do everything possible to get the best outcome for you and your family. My case was very public and Cole also did a great job of keeping me grounded, reminding me that good people can make terrible mistakes and what matters is what we do next. He never pressured me, always kept me informed, always let me know that when it came to settling the case, it was always my decision. He would provide counsel, but the ultimate decision would be mine. I experienced every range of emotion possible during the case (and still do to this day) and Cole and team helped me maintain my dignity throughout each stage. Calling Cole Casey my attorney does not do him justice. He is an advocate, he is a mentor, he is a friend and my life would not be the same if I had not retained his services. He has given me the opportunity for a second chance and there simply is no greater gift. And you can’t put a price on that. I truly believe that. Cole and team are the best and my family and I will never be able to repay them for what they have done for us.

The most proficient Dui Attorney in San Diego

Mr. Casey and his team are not only professional, diligent and polite but provide the fastest client focused results possible. Their tenacity and expertise is unsurpassed by anyone. This was my first DUI and unfortunately prior to working with Mr. Casey, I retained a not only incompetent attorney b...ut malicious. “She” (not to mention names) kept approximately $2000 providing absolutely nothing for my case. I was under a great amount of stress with the addition of threating emails and calls from this attorney. From my first interaction with Mr. Casey and his staff, all that anxiety was put to rest. They handled all communication with my previous attorney as well as my case allowing me to focus on my life and career. I have worked with many lawyers in the past and Cole Casey runs an amazing practice. There is not enough words to describe what a great experience I had working with him.
