Thank You Cole Casey

Using Cole Casey is the best decision you can make if you receive a DUI. I’m highly educated, successful and yet I made a very bad decision to get behind the wheel of my car following a heated argument with a loved one who was being abusive and left after our argument. Finding myself alone and in ...jail, my car totaled, my loved one wasn’t there to help me, my best friend was there. In a state of panic, we quickly rented a car and contacted a referral from the bail bond company. The attorney assigned to me seemed competent at the beginning as he tried to understand my case. That attorney represented me at the DMV, misrepresented the facts of the case and didn’t provide any updates on next steps. I took the required classes and didn’t drive as I worked my way through the DMV process. About 10 days prior to the anniversary of the incident, I received a mailing indicating an upcoming court date as a felony charge. We went to court, and it was clear the attorney was not prepared and he did not represent me very well. I left the court room with an order to wear an ankle bracelet until the next hearing date in the middle of the summer. After a couple weeks of hiding the ankle bracelet at work (in meetings), and from my children, I contacted another attorney to ask for a referral – she said Cole Casey was the best. Upon contacting Cole’s office, they collected some basic information from me, answered my questions, and set up time for me to meet with Cole. We met at the office and Cole asked for details, reviewed my paperwork, and luckily, Cole was willing to take on my case. Within days and while I was on a beach vacation with my children in Orange County, Cole made arrangements for he and I to meet with a judge to make a case for the ankle bracelet to be removed immediately. Cole won it for me. Following the meeting with the judge, I drove to San Diego, had the bracelet removed, and returned to Orange County to enjoy the remainder of my vacation with my children. The next challenge would be the felony and seeing if we could have the charge reduced to a misdemeanor. A few weeks later, Cole represented me and was able to have the charge reduced. Throughout the entire process, Cole was available, honest, concerned, and dedicated to achieving the best possible outcome. Cole and his team are absolutely amazing. If I had started with Cole it’s likely he would have been able to resolve my case much quicker than the 14 very scary, uncomfortable, unpleasant months I endured. Cole Casey is the best, and I am thankful and appreciative of his expertise, relationships, honesty, and sense of urgency.

I hired Mr. Casey for a serious felony charge

Last year my world was turned upside down. I'd never been in trouble before, not even a parking ticket. Professionally employed - white collar, honorable military service and by all account a good family man, friend and law abiding citizen. I hired Mr. Casey and his firm to represent me for a seri...ous felony charge and it was the right move. Never experiencing something like this before I had all sorts of thoughts running through my head. From the beginning I felt I was innocent, but at the least my only stipulation was not serving time. From the start Mr. Casey advised me there are no guarantees, but felt there was a good chance we could resolve this with no time served. I found Mr. Casey trustworthy, flexible, but firm and most of all supportive. He kept me abreast of the situation along the way, looked at all possibilities and communicated them effectively with both positive and negative repercussions and he took the time to meet with me on a regular basis to help me pause and reset when I would get anxious. Mr. Casey was very knowledgeable about my case and briefed me what he felt the prosecutors were after, would accept and won't accept. Besides the prosecution, Mr. Casey was very accustomed with the courts and judges we appeared before and at every turn what he surmised is pretty much what transpired. Mr. Casey guided me and directed me to actions I could take to support and strengthen my position regarding services I could attend. Mr. Casey fought my case for almost a year and by the end he got me exactly what I asked for. I ended up pleading out my case to lesser charges and no time served. I highly recommend G. Cole Casey Esq. and his team for their expertise, trustworthiness, support, understanding and knowledge of law, the prosecution, courts and judges in San Diego County.

Best Money I Ever Spent

Cole Casey came highly recommended to me by just about anyone I asked. I sure see why. When you first meet him, you feel the confidence he has, but he is so incredibly nice and fun to talk to. I did my homework anyway, and instead of giving me a bunch of scare tactics and nonsense about how great... he was, which seemed to be the common approach of the other lawyers I spoke with, Cole was the first guy to tell me that I probably didn't even need a lawyer. I was too scared to try to go to court alone, and was tired of hearing sales pitch after sales pitch from literally every single lawyer I spoke with. Mr. Casey was truly a breath of fresh air. Well, he obtained a result for me that he said was possible but, in all honesty, unlikely. He pulled it off. I am a very VERY happy client. If you make the mistake of getting arrested for DUI, you owe it to yourself to at least call Cole. If you don't need the kind of firepower he brings, he will be the first to tell you. And he is a true pleasure to work with. Instead of making me come to his office, he would set meetings with me when ever I wanted, and many times offered to meet at places closer to my home to lessen my inconvenience. He is the real deal. I honestly expected a guy with his credentials, experience and all the awards he has been given to be demanding and arrogant. Cole was just a really nice, cool guy, who exudes a sort of quiet and intense strength - you just know that if the need to fight arose, he would be the first one to jump in.

Cole Casey et al

I was cited for a DUI in Sept. of 2014. After more than cursory research, I chose Cole Casey to represent me. I expected the best representation. Mr Casey and his very capable team more than lived up to my very high expectations. He is frank and to the point with just the right amount of humor befit...ting a very serious situation. Many thanks to his skilled team. While very capable, they exhibit a high degree of empathy for their clients. I give them my highest recommendation! .

Mr Casey and his team changed the possibilities for my daughters life.

I have a 22 year old daughter who found herself in unusual circumstances and in court due to an accident. She tried another law firm and was about to either go to court or have to serve time. We turned to Cole Casey and Alisha Wood and now my daughter basically has probation for 5 years with a stin...t in there for drug rehab. Although she isn't completely in the clear she has options now to put her life back together again and do good in the world and for others. This law firm was there for her when she needed them and supported her in the worst of circumstances. I can't say enough about the dedication and loyalty they have for their clients, not to mention the results they manage to get in each case!
