Best DUI attorney in California

I was referred to Cole Casey years ago and in the 10 plus years I have known him, he has been nothing short of amazing. He is a hard nosed attorney that will fight for you til the end, but also has a very understanding and supportive attitude when it comes to his clients. I am a 2nd offender and did ...not make my defense easy for Cole. However, he went above and beyond any expectation I had and got me a ruling nothing short of a miracle. If you get a DUI and you live in Southern California, you are crazy to trust anyone else.

DON'T HIRE A DUI ATTORNEY UNTIL YOU TALK TO COLE !

Cole Casey is the real deal. I talked to and met with several DUI Attorneys before hiring Cole. A family member got his second DUI in 10 years, a serious offense with potentially devastating consequences, in our case. I reached out to one more Attorney before making a decision and I am forever gratef...ul that person was Cole. Hands down, he is the BEST of the BEST. He asked the questions the others did not and he really cared! After meeting him in person, we retained him on the spot. Cole did absolutely everything he said he would and more. I am one million percent convinced that his extensive knowledge, guidance & expertise were crucial to my brother getting the absolute “best possible outcome”. Thanks Cole & Staff!

Did Everything He Said that he Would

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.

A Man Who Has Perfected His Craft

I was fortunate to find Mr Cole Casey. After consulting from one attorney to the next I quickly became overwhelmed. Lawyer after lawyer all I heard were sales pitches. Nothing but a bunch of businessmen and women making a sale. I had the book thrown at me from other lawyers with their jargon and scar...e tactics that made everything more hectic and confusing than it already was. I was not looking to be sold to. It felt insulting. This seemed to be the nature of the business but never for Mr Cole Casey. He was the exact opposite. He is an honest man of initiative. This is an important quality to look for in a lawyer as you never want to miss a deadline at some point in the process because they simply forgot or did not show up to your hearing. It was something as simple as him being the only lawyer to be able to schedule an in person consultation and asses my situation more closely and personally compared to the other lawyers. With honesty he stated that I did not need his services for my situation was not severe and only a misdemeanor dui. There was a lot of truth in that; however, I believed that the money is well spent towards an individual I trusted and I never regretted my reasoning. The day I retained Mr Cole Casey some of the lawyers I consulted previously were curious who I hired. As I mentioned his name, they quickly expressed exhaustion out of options and defeat. One even commented "Wow. Cole Casey is the best in the DUI business. You have a great attorney in your hands. Good luck to your case Adrian." So there you have it, even some of his colleagues can confirm his confidence. More so his confidence held true the entire time. Not once did I second guess him. Mr Cole Casey walked me through all the steps and constantly updated me on his defense. If he requires supporting documentation to formulate a compelling argument then by no means provide them. Letters of recommendations, transcripts, forms, you name it. He does not play games and neither should you. He provides a his number so you may contact him or use his online web portal if you have other dire questions. I have gained great respect for him and Lauren Angelos and I can see why they are the best in the business. I cannot imagine hiring anyone else but him. One defining moment was when he expressed that I must excel to become the best I can be especially in these hard times and allow him to handle the rest... and I did exactly just that. Both work and school fell into place with the court dates and it was oddly painless. I excelled. I built character. I felt like an autonomous individual part of society once again and this was while my case was still pending. Fast forward to several several months Mr Cole Casey was able to obtain a wet & reckless plea bargain which was the favorable outcome I had hoped for. I do not believe in miracles or luck but I do believe in hard work and Mr Cole Casey is proof of that. Make no mistake to call Mr Cole Casey if you or someone you know are in need of his services. He is my personal referral if any family or friend fall within the same situation as I have.

1st Time DUI

My son received a DUI 5 days ago (1st offense) and after numerous calls to other SD attorneys, we were very skeptical about the information that the lawyers were telling us and the information we were reading online about DUI cases. I can not tell you how BLESSED we were to find Mr. Casey's name on ...AVVO. Although you will see many lawyers that are also listed with over 100 reviews and 5 stars, but Mr. Casey stood out above the others because of the detail in the Reviews that we read. I wasn't sure what to expect since we had already been given such conflicting information from the other attorneys that we contacted. We had been told over and over that the only way to handle the DUI is to higher a lawyer, someone who knows the system and will do all of these things for you (fees ranged from $4000. to $10,000) and will make false promises to get your money. Mr. Casey personally took my call and was the 1st lawyer to give me the "Real Truth" about what will happen. He did not try to get money out of me to pay him to do something that we didn't need to do. Instead, he took the time to explain the process step by step and gave me very specific information regarding when to take care of these things. I did not need to hire him or any other attorney because the circumstances surrounding the DUI charge were going to be the same whether I hired an attorney or went with the FREE Public Defender. He said "why pay him or any other lawyer if I don't need to." I am sure there may be some 1st time offenders that have a situation that might warrant a lawyer, but don't fall into the traps that will be waiting for you. Call Mr. Casey and you can rest assured that he will be Honest with you. In my eyes, this man represents what every Lawyer should be. The simple fact that Mr. Casey took my call, took the time to explain what needed to be done, gave me the timeline to do those things and DID NOT try to take my money unnecessarily was the 1st sense of relief that I have had for the past week. I almost wish there was a need to utilize Mr. Casey because I believe he truly is the man that will fight for your life if needed and is the person that I would want representing me. He is absolutely 100% genuine and should be used as a model for other lawyers. Call Mr. Casey and you will see for yourself that this is truly a lawyer that is doing what should be done and will TELL YOU THE TRUTH!!!!
