Professional and patient
When I met Cole Douglas for the first time, I was nervous and embarrassed to tell my story, but I knew I needed to if I wanted to be heard. My case was of a very personal and sensitive nature, and it was very uncomfortable for me to even talk about it. Cole listened to my story without rushing me, as...
"Mr. Douglas is an amazing advocate, and highly educated on matters concerning civil rights and sexual harassment cases. He fights for his clients and he is a pillar in our local bar. I highly recommend him."
"Nicholas is an energetic, passionate, and effective attorney with an excellent reputation in the local legal community. I highly endorse him with no reservation."
"Cole is an excellent attorney and tireless advocate for his clients. He is smart and diligent. And as an active member of the local legal community, Cole has developed great relationships with attorneys and judges."
"Cole is everything you want in a lawyer. He's motivated, determined and ethical. I highly endorse him."
"I highly recommend Cole. He is a strong advocate and dedicated to helping his clients navigate their incredibly sensitive and complex personal injury cases. His experience and passion shines through in his work and he definitely has what it takes to get the results his clients deserve."
"Cole has the reputation for being the smartest guy in the room, which as a fellow attorney, I can say it is annoying being in the same room as him. While he is by far the smartest person in the room, he is also the kindest. His grace and humor put clients at ease, and his intelligence makes him a fierce opponent. I would highly recommend Cole, as I know any client I send his way will be in good hands."
"I know Nicholas as "Cole," and I am thoroughly impressed by the energy that he brings to his law practice in service to clients. Cole is an astute lawyer, and a passionate and innovative professional. Once you meet him, I am sure you will agree that he is an altogether great guy."
"Cole (or Nicholas as his bar license reads) is awesome. He is a dedicated attorney, a passionate advocate, and a lot of fun to work with. Do you want a lawyer you can talk to? A lawyer who understands what your going through and will fight to protect you like he would his own family? Then Cole is your man. Whatever your problem, I'd suggest giving Cole a call."
