As a result of a moment of extremely poor judgment, I made the worst mistake of my life. I was arrested for a felony DUI with bodily injury and was facing severe consequences leaving me feeling terrified, hopeless and alone. I reached out to another attorney friend out of state to ask for some advice... and they referred me to Cole, saying “He’s the guy other attorneys go to if they have a problem”. From my first meeting with Cole, I knew he was the guy for the job and I walked away feeling like a weight had been lifted off my back. Cole treated me with dignity and was a great support throughout the legal process. Through the 7 month process from citation to the case being settled, Cole and his team provided stellar legal council. For the entire duration I felt well informed as to the progress in my case and he and his team counseled me in the process and we’re always realistic with managing expectations. It is easy to see why Cole is so respected in his field. In the end, Cole was able to get my charges reduced and avoid any issues with my professional license. I truly cannot express how highly I would recommend Cole and his team. They truly went above and beyond to ensure we received the best possible results and I will forever be grateful for his expert representation.

Cole Casey is simply the best DUI attorney you could ever imagine! Without mentioning names, another DUI attorney heard of my unique case through a mutual doctor we both had. That DUI attorney said, "If you really need the best there is, given your'e in a sensitive job position, then without a do...ubt, Cole Casey is who even I and other attorneys would turn to ourselves if needed." That should tell you all you need to know. I had a previous attorney that was not performing in my best interest. I made the decision to switch attorneys and to go with Cole. That was the best decision I ever made. Also, it must be said that Cole is incredibly responsive and accessible by phone. He has an amazing presence in the courtroom, is widely respected for his knowledge of the subject matter across the entire legal community, and most importantly he delivers results. I cannot say enough to thank Mr. Cole Casey for his representation of me and I will work hard going forward to make sure others needing his professional services hear of my positive experience.

At our first meeting I knew Cole was the attorney I could trust and had to hire him. He was the only attorney I talked to who actually offered to meet me in person at a convenient location for me so I met with him at Starbucks up the street. Cole is a straight shooter, absolutely no bs kind of guy wh...o genuinely cares about his clients and hand picks which cases he takes. I knew right away by his excellent rapport and much deserved respect that he had excellent relationships with the judges, DA’s, bailiffs, etc. I was a nurse who had a terrible lapse in judgement and was facing felony dui with injury charges and a high BAC. Cole said he would get me a simple misdemeanor and that is exactly what he did. He never gave up, carried through with his word and was able to get the charges reduced with only a minimal fine and 3 months of dui school. I will be forever grateful for getting the least possible charges for my circumstances with the best possible outcome. If you are looking for an attorney to give it to you straight, mean what he says and follow through with his word then Cole is your guy.

I was facing serious felony DUI charges with the possibility of a great bodily injury enhancement. (an even worse felony). There was the great potential of a felony conviction with a lengthy jail sentence, and my professional licenses and career were on the line. I simply could not afford a felony co...nviction. I sought out the best, did extensive research, and hired a well known attorney based in Vista with a great reputation for handling DUI’s. He did the best he could, but in the end, the best deal he got me was felony DUI with a 1 year jail sentence. Desperate, and extremely concerned that my case was being mishandled, I reached out to my brother, an attorney in Northern California, and he put me in touch with some of San Diego’s best lawyers for advice. Cole Casey came highly recommended from some very reputable attorneys. I met with Mr. Casey and hired him almost immediately, it was clear he was the right man for the job. He was asking the right questions, and genuinely seemed to care about my situation, and he treated me with dignity. It was refreshing to feel comfortable for the first time since this horrible situation occurred. Cole took the reins and met with me in person on several occasions, thoroughly reviewing the entire situation, and briefing me every step of the way. Mr. Casey’s straightforward approach of “tearing off the bandaid” and addressing the facts of the case head on, led to the discovery that my previous lawyer's deal was based on the wrong medical record. Not only did my first lawyer's “negotiations” result in a felony offer with jail time, but it was based on the wrong information! He even tried to rush my decision, assuring me if I didn’t take the deal fast, I would almost certainly face an additional GBI felony. Mr. Casey’s strategy included the assembly of a package comprised of character letters, my resume, accomplishments, treatment, therapy, and contributions to the community, which helped to humanize me in the eye’s of the court. Cole also made clear the serious repercussions my career would suffer beyond just the court’s sentencing. Mr. Casey’s attention to details, along with his relentless approach to negotiating, led to a delayed sentencing for a year, and a reduction to a misdemeanor upon successful completion of the SCRAM alcohol monitoring program during that time. I’m blown away by his performance, this man is on top of his game! Bottom line, if your case is as important to you as mine was, Mr.Casey is hands down the best possible choice. I would refer him to friends or family without hesitation. His fee is literally the best money I’ve spent in my entire life. Thanks Cole!

As a result of a moment of extremely poor judgment during a difficult time, I made the worst mistake of my life. I was arrested for a felony DUI with bodily injury and was facing severe consequences to include incarceration. I had never had any driving violations, encounters with police, or legal iss...ues of any kind in the past. I was feeling desperate, terrified, alone, and hopeless. At a moment in my life when I was overwhelmed with guilt and shame, Cole Casey treated me with dignity and offered the support and guidance I needed to regain my sense of self-worth. From my first meeting with Cole Casey, I walked away feeling confident I had hired the right defense team and was in good hands. Cole was honest and realistic, thoroughly explained the legal process, and set clear expectations from the beginning. He also explained the increased sense of confusion and delays related to COVID's impact on standard legal procedures. He and his team never over-simplified the case, made false promises, or steered me in the wrong direction. They were readily available to answer my phone calls or meet with me and offer me support and reassurance when I needed it. Cole provided solid legal counsel throughout the entire process leading to and after my final court hearing. Throughout the entire 16-month process, I felt well informed and represented. In addition to the professional handling of my case, I came to see that Cole Casey is highly respected within the San Diego County legal community, a benefit that I had not prior considered but for which I am so grateful. He and his team effectively highlighted my strengths, prior personal accomplishments, and contributions so that they would be considered at the time of sentencing. Having a lawyer that is well respected by his peers, judges, and courthouse staff standing by my side was essential in asking for careful consideration of my case. In the end, Cole and his team helped me avoid time in jail and house arrest, which, as the judge stated, is very rare in cases such as mine. I could not ask for a better outcome. Post-sentencing, I continue to receive support from Cole in dealing with the terms of my probation and establishing a plan for eventual expungement to clear my record. I highly recommend Cole Casey and his legal team. I honestly do not think I would be continuing to live my life as I am today if I had not had his expert representation.
