I was fortunate to find Mr Cole Casey. After consulting from one attorney to the next I quickly became overwhelmed. Lawyer after lawyer all I heard were sales pitches. Nothing but a bunch of businessmen and women making a sale. I had the book thrown at me from other lawyers with their jargon and scare tactics that made everything more hectic and confusing than it already was. I was not looking to be sold to. It felt insulting. This seemed to be the nature of the business but never for Mr Cole Casey. He was the exact opposite. He is an honest man of initiative. This is an important quality to look for in a lawyer as you never want to miss a deadline at some point in the process because they simply forgot or did not show up to your hearing. It was something as simple as him being the only lawyer to be able to schedule an in person consultation and asses my situation more closely and personally compared to the other lawyers. With honesty he stated that I did not need his services for my situation was not severe and only a misdemeanor dui. There was a lot of truth in that; however, I believed that the money is well spent towards an individual I trusted and I never regretted my reasoning. The day I retained Mr Cole Casey some of the lawyers I consulted previously were curious who I hired. As I mentioned his name, they quickly expressed exhaustion out of options and defeat. One even commented "Wow. Cole Casey is the best in the DUI business. You have a great attorney in your hands. Good luck to your case Adrian." So there you have it, even some of his colleagues can confirm his confidence. More so his confidence held true the entire time. Not once did I second guess him. Mr Cole Casey walked me through all the steps and constantly updated me on his defense. If he requires supporting documentation to formulate a compelling argument then by no means provide them. Letters of recommendations, transcripts, forms, you name it. He does not play games and neither should you. He provides a his number so you may contact him or use his online web portal if you have other dire questions. I have gained great respect for him and Lauren Angelos and I can see why they are the best in the business. I cannot imagine hiring anyone else but him. One defining moment was when he expressed that I must excel to become the best I can be especially in these hard times and allow him to handle the rest... and I did exactly just that. Both work and school fell into place with the court dates and it was oddly painless. I excelled. I built character. I felt like an autonomous individual part of society once again and this was while my case was still pending. Fast forward to several several months Mr Cole Casey was able to obtain a wet & reckless plea bargain which was the favorable outcome I had hoped for. I do not believe in miracles or luck but I do believe in hard work and Mr Cole Casey is proof of that. Make no mistake to call Mr Cole Casey if you or someone you know are in need of his services. He is my personal referral if any family or friend fall within the same situation as I have.
Back in late October of 2015, I made a really stupid decision to drive home after hours of social drinking with my colleagues at a work gathering. The get-together was held in Point Loma, an area I'm quite unfamiliar with. After getting lost trying to find the 5 freeway to get home, I ended finding myself pulled over at the guard station of Point Loma Naval Station at 3AM. Clearly under the influence, I ended up being arrested for a DUI. Embarrassed and very humiliated, I immediately worried about how this would affect my family and healthcare-related occupation. I had a pristine track record up to this point. After consulting with close friends, I made the decision to call a few attorneys to find out if the damage could at least be lessened. I knew it would be a DUI due to the BAC I blew. The first 2 attorneys I contacted heard my story and ultimately let me know, "we can represent you but please understand, this will be a DUI almost certainly...you blew a very high BAC. As for the federal court nature of the case, we need to investigate the process. This is something we haven't seen". The third call was to Cole Casey. He was the only attorney I spoke to that had the experience to explain the differences between being arrested on state vs. federal property. He promised nothing but gave me assurances that he would work to keep this from affecting my career and limit the blow as much as possible. He listened and asked the right questions about my background, occupation, and family. Fast forward 8 months and several court dates.... I got a call from Lauren. She informed me that I needed to sit down with Cole and go over the case progress. She implied "I think you will be very pleased". I met with Cole the following week and was notified of the news. NO DUI!!!!! Folks, I blew a very high BAC number. Please, please do yourself a favor. Call Cole Casey and discuss your case. He and Lauren handled everything for me. They stayed in high communication and saved my career!! I ended up having to do 12 AA classes, a Victim impact Panel, and a $500 fine. No DMV involvement, no Interlock, no DUI! Thank you Cole and Lauren!
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 conviction. 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 issues 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.
Cole really knows the DUI arena well. I hired Cole after having to fire my initial attorney, and I am so happy I did! I decided to meet with Cole to get his opinion on what my former attorney was telling me to accept. Time was of the essence in my case; I left a message in the evening and got a return call from him that very night. He offered to meet with me in person the following day at a location that was good for me. He understands how stressful the whole process of a DUI is, and does what he can to help keep that stress to an absolute minimum. His paralegals are very nice as well and a pleasure to work with. They use MyCase online system for paperwork and documents, which makes everything super easy, in comparison to other attorneys who make you email back and forth. His manner is professional and relaxed, but had a care and concern for me and the outcome of my case. I never felt stressed after talking with him, and always felt reassured. I felt very comfortable to ask questions that might have seemed silly but were bugging me and stressing me out. He always welcomes communication and any questions. He texts and calls back promptly. He had an entirely different outlook on my case from my former attorney, and treated me with the utmost respect -- respect we all deserve as people, even if we have made terrible decisions that led us to get a DUI. As my case moved forward, he had a terrific sense of who he was working with in the court--how certain judges and DA's lean. Most significantly, he had spot on guestimates for how much time I would do on house arrest based on my case, and for how much time I would be on probation. The numbers turned out exactly as he and I had talked about. The way he spoke with me about my case was not only in terms I could easily understand, it was also at a pace I could understand. This stuff can get complicated and Cole wanted to help me understand the entire picture in order to make the decision that was best for me. He used legal ease only when it was necessary to explain what was going on, but didnt rattle off lingo that was over my head. I highly reccomend Cole Casey. He is the man I would refer anyone to in a DUI situation.
Cole Casey has been an absolutely amazing resource, and attorney. He has helped me through my first DUI experience & really made a difference. His responsiveness combined with his rock solid communication takes the stress out of an amazingly stressful time. I would strongly recommend Cole to anyone in need of the very best legal counsel!
Mr. Casey has been very supportive and upfront with me throughout my case. Calmed me multiple times , helped me see pros and cons on different options in a professional manner . Mine was a second DUI with injury , he had helped me kept my job , and worked out a great deal for me. He delivered what he said he would . I’m grateful for him .
Do not hesitate to contact Mr. Cole Casey, especially if it is for a DUI case. While I was visiting San Diego, I was charged with a DUI. The second I contacted Mr. Casey he completely took over and handled everything! He worked meticulously and effectively, always keeping ahead of everything while always having my best interest in mind. He was able to make my DUI disappear within just a few weeks. I will definitely always recommend him to anyone seeking legal help.
Cole was incredible throughout the entire process. He always answered me immediately whether I reached out by call or text, and got back to me quickly regardless the seriousness of my question, I knew I was in such good hands. It was like having a friend in my corner versus an attorney. I was potentially going to need to have an interlock device in my car, have to serve community service, and was also facing the loss of my license for an additional span of time. He was able to get the charges reduced where both the community service and interlock device were not required and the additional suspension of my license was reduced. I could not be more grateful/thankful for the work he did for me (I knew he was in my corner every step of the way) and the outcome he achieved for me. He never misled me or made a promise he could not keep, he was authentic from beginning to end. Highly recommend.
I hired Mr. Casey as my lawyer for my DUI case. He was very professional and reassured me that I was in good hands! Let me say, he did not let me down. He is very thorough, patient, answered all my questions and made me feel very confident about the process. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an awesome DUI lawyer!
