Don't Hire Anyone Else!

I contacted Mr. Casey after I had been disappointed with the Attorney I had hired. I was scared and I feared what I may be facing with my Felony DUI. After two months of frustration with my previous Attorney, he did not come to one court appearance's nor did I once meet or talk to him. That...'s when I went looking for someone else and after reading all his experience on the internet, I decided to call Mr. Casey. Now I was even more scared and discouraged with the thought that maybe I would not be able to find a good Attorney. I called his office and right away I was transferred to his manager, who took the time to try to answer every question I had that she could answer. After thirty minutes of comforting me, she told me, I will have Mr. Casey call you within the hour and I thought ok, its gonna be awhile. But I was wrong and he graciously did. He was very honest and answered as many questions as he could and after another thirty minutes of the time he took to talk to me, he asked if I would like to come in to meet with him to discuss this further. Two days later I was in Mr. Casey's office being introduced to his staff. They were so caring and helpful with everything. Mr. Casey answered every question and gave an honest opinion of the Felony Dui Charges I could be facing. He said he does not make a promise of an outcome that he cannot keep. I hired him and he had personally attended every court appearance over the next 5 month period. He answered every phone call within hours and his staff answered every question right there over the phone. Mr. Casey went above and beyond to help me through the scariest time of my life. When the Mr. Casey finally settled my case he was able to take a Felony Dui and brought it down to a Misdemeanor. I honestly cried, I had never been through this kind of situation in my life. I am so very thankful today that I took my instincts and used my good intuiting to have Mr. Casey represent me. Mr. Casey and his wonderful staff were not just represent me, they actually care about you and walk you through every scary part of this most uncomfortable situation. Mr. Casey I want to thank you and your staff for providing such excellent care and service and giving my back my life.

Excellent team and the best results

In late November 2013, I was stopped at a checkpoint in downtown San Diego with a BAC of .14 then charged with a DUI. Having too much at stake (employment and security clearance) I was bewildered and worried. I researched, talked and met with several lawyers in town. I was not pleased with the la...wyers I met with since they did not seem to CARE about the outcome of my case. I felt like they worked for volume and my case would just put under a pile of cases. Then, I set up a meeting with the Cole Casey firm. From the moment I walked in I was amazed by the professionalism. They were attentive and took their time in explaining the painful DUI process. They answered all my questions and alleviated some of my worries and concerns about my job security. They made me feel like they CARE about what I had at stake. My first meeting was with Cole Casey and Alisha Woods, and then Lauren Angelos took the lead on my case Once hired, they hit the ground running. They took care of the DMV hearings and I never set foot in a court as they took care of all the legal matters. I was kept in the loop with constant updates through emails, phone calls, and face to face meetings. I had access to the legal team anytime I wanted and I got a response right away. At the end, Lauren Angelos was able to downgrade the DUI charge into a wet reckless charge. I could not be any happier on the results and I'm very thankful. Truthfully the best money I've ever spent. Also thank you to office manager Ashley Lanza and case manager Courtney Reimers. I am forever thankful for this team.

Outstanding services and assistance.

This group of people helped me so much. Words can't express how grateful I am to them all. Especially Alisha and Ashley. They kept me informed on a daily basis of all of my proceedings and requirements and took care of everything for me that they could to save me the trouble. Thank you, thank you, th...ank you! I truly can't say it enough. As rough as this whole process was, they helped make it easier and helped me through all of it every step. This team = BEST TEAM.

Incredible Attorney- Amazing Staff

Mr. Casey is nothing short of a miracle worker. I was arrested for two DUI's but with Mr. Casey's help was able to get the charges reduced to a first offense. Just speaking with Mr. Casey during my initial consultation helped ease my nerves about my impending cases. He was always willing to help and ...always had a primary and secondary plan of attack. I highly recommend Mr. Casey to anybody going through criminal charges in California. The best part was I was never made to appear in court once, he took care of everything on his end and would just let me know my options. I feel like I received the best result possible due to having him in my corner. What's more is that his staff is AMAZING (especially the office manager Ashley Linza)! She was always very eager to help and is always super friendly and professional. I owe Mr. Casey and his staff (esp. Ms. Linza) a huge debt of gratitude! I would not hesitate to hire them again or recommend them to anybody looking for an attorney

Best DUI lawyer you could ask for

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.
