At the end of the day, "family" is the most important aspect of life. Cole was the BEST attorney to defend my son!

The phone rang and time stood still. My son, who is so talented and capable of being a major contributor to society, had lost his battle to remain sober and was arrested for a 4th DUI. The stakes were more than a lost job, likely jail time and a felony record; his life was at risk! Cole quickly... assessed all the facts and realized a rehab experience was required immediately. The case was highly complex as to medical diagnosis of illness and treatment medications prior to the DUI. Perhaps another great DUI attorney could have done as well in handling the case, but NONE I know could better focus on the key facts of defense and then leverage his/her personal standing with the Court and the DA's Office. Cole's efforts produced the best possible results that i had hoped for my son and the best chance for society that a repeat DUI offense will not occur.

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.

Mr. Casey's Firm Saved My Career!

The circumstances of my DUI arrest were not particularly damning or out of the ordinary. But my profession is such that a DUI would abruptly end my career. In my mind, I wanted the best lawyer possible, regardless of cost, because no retainer fee would compare to the potential amount of money lost du...e to me being fired from an occupation that I’ve devoted my life to. After careful research and a few other meetings with SD lawyers, I absolutely knew Mr. Casey was my most viable choice. I also solicited the help of a reputable DUI lawyer from my homestate- some 2000 miles away- for a recommendation and he came back with Casey’s name. Impressive. (In all fairness, a LA lawyer came just as highly recommendeda but I strongly discourage anyone from retaining a lawyer outside the city of arrest as the lawyer’s working relationship with the city attorney’s office could be the difference in your case). I must say I initially found Mr. Casey’s confidence in beating the charges a bit unfounded in only our first meeting, but I figured if your lawyer isn’t motivated, then you’ve lost before you even stepped onto the field. And I was dead wrong- his confidence is completely founded. Mr. Casey and co. fought tooth and nail for over a year to get the charge reduced to a reckless. The city attorney kept telling them “no” after “no” but he wasn’t deterred, even when I was. It was an emotional rollercoaster but his calm demeanor eased my worries after every talk. You might hear from other DUI arrestees that a lawyer is futile, as SD law guarantees a conviction, regardless of the evidence. Lord knows I heard that at every class at my DUI program. This is simply false. These testimonies show you there is hope; don’t let the system convince you otherwise. Mr. Casey’s firm saved my career and I am confident that no other SD lawyer could have accomplished what he did.

Awesome DUI Attorney

As CEO of a major corporation I have worked with a large number of lawyers of the years and the results have been mixed to say the least. Cole Casey and his staff performed flawlessly! Mr. Casey is an absolute professional and I am very pleased that I decided to engage him. He navigated a very dif...ficult case with precision and skillful persuasion. I wouldn't consider using anyone else. EVER! Thank you Mr. Casey. It is my pleasure to be associated with you.

A fighter for my best interest!

Cole Casey, Vivian and team Casey from the start have been nothing short of professional. Cole gave me very good advise and after following his advise, everything has worked out well. Cole answered all of my questions completely. He took personal interest in my welfare and I never felt like just a nu...mber. His invaluable knowledge of the system and his relationships with the people in the system create a path to give you the best deal with the court system. Cole is a straight shooter, he will tell you were you are at and what to expect. This is an attorney I would highly recommend.
