DUI San Diego

Worse attorney I ever used. Very misleading. A waste of money using this guy.
I wish he would have just told me the truth.

Buyer beware… He will take your money, and take the first plea. WILL NOT FIGHT FOR YOU!!! Shop around, you don’t always get what you pay for.

1^st take Lyft or Sidecar. 2^nd if you dont you will be pulled over. Its just a matter of time.
If that unfortunate day happens, know that Cole, Lauren and the entire team at Casey & Woods will be their to take care of you. They have gone over and above their call of duty and the outcome was even better than one could expect.
They treat you like family knowing you are in a pinch. They went to the DMV hearing that know one wins, and won it for me! They are true blue and will do EVERYTHING they can so you can put this behind you and move forward.
HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

I think I would really like for this review to be 3.5 stars.
It took me some time to finally get around to writing this review in that this is one of those things I didn’t want anyone to know about me other than the people involved, but it is what it is. Mistakes are made, and sometimes you pay dearly for those mistakes.
Cole Casey is the person that I worked on with my case, and he really knows his sh*t. I was really glad to find him because once I turned my case over to him his office walked me through every step of the process (including have someone work on the DMV hearing and attend it for me while I was working!), although I am starting to be of the belief that you really can not get out of being in trouble with the DMV side of things.
The sad thing in my case was that the arresting officer is known throughout the city as the number one DUI cop in San Diego and now I know one. He’s a liar. Long story short — I had an altercation (rolling stop at a stop sign) like a month before the DUI incident and while I did not get a ticket for the altercation with the stop sign, he took everything that we talked about on that occasion and incorporated it into his story about what happened the night of the DUI. The things that we talked about helped his position, and made me look like a drunken teenager joy riding or whatever. Cole’s advice to me was that I can not argue in court against the «Number 1 DUI cop in the city» as he had gone up against this guy before (and won mind you) and the trial would be his word against mine. So in the end, I paid my fines, went to the driving school and learned many lessons.
Additionally, about 2 years ago my case was up for expungement and Cole’s office handled all of the paperwork and court appearances and such just like before and got this cleared from my record completely. So that was a bonus. I also recently had to go and drudge up the past to get into Canada for work (they are super strict about these past offenses. Even if it happened 30 years ago Id have had to go through the same process). The office was really helpful in answering my questions up to a point. Apparently there is a hefty fine for US lawyers giving advice on Law matters in Canada. So they referred me to a law office that they have done work with before.
So the negatives here which I have or haven’t touched on up to this point:
1. when I called the office after they had been helping me so much with the Canada stuff, and i asked about copies of ALL past transgressions in my history, they told me that they could not get any paperwork that didn’t have to do with their work on the case. The San Diego County Clerk said this was a crock because this person I was speaking with was in their office almost everyday and he could certainly pick up the information (it is free) and email it to me. I ended up having to drive to California to get it (that’s 5 hours that this person could have saved me but because they weren’t on retainer for me at the time they would not do this for me.)
2. The Canada lawyer they referred me to, basically charged me ALOT of money to put some paperwork together for a TRP application that ended up not being necessary (wasted 1500 dollars) and if they had actually done some due diligence that the Canadian Border people did in like 3 hours while I was sitting in the waiting room of the customs area; it might have been worth the initial 750 for them putting the effort in to see I didn’t need a TRP. I qualified for entry with a few pieces of paper proving it. Canadian Customs indicated that most of the Canadian Lawyers are a racket to make money and he was sorry that I had paid so much for something I didn’t need. He was the ONLY one that was. So that’s a strike against Cole’s office for referring someone who really isn’t that detail oriented or even has the same sort of code of ethics that his own office ‘should’ have.

Best in San Diego!!! If your looking the best defense attorney then look no further cole Casey is your man… I highly recommend them

We all know how San Diego cops can be… After being pulled over and forced to perform a breathalizer test, I blew a 0.06. The officer still charged me with a DUI and I had never been more angry and upset. I knew I had to find a lawyer and fight this. Thankfully, I found Cole Casey which was like a blessing from the sky. Probably one of the most reputable DUI lawyers out in the San Diego area. A true expert in his field who is determined to deliver the results you want. I was extremely stressed out about the entire situation, but Casey and his team walked me through every step of the process and had me feeling at ease. In the end, I was more than happy with the results and can’t be any more grateful. I highly recommend G. Cole Casey to anyone going through a DUI case.

Mr. Casey’s knowledge of the way the court system works helped me understand what was really expected of me as a client. Mr. Casey immediately put the paperwork in motion for my case. He also advised me and guided me to the programs that would be required to complete my case in a timely manner. I was able to start my treatment program months before it became a court requirement. Because of this, I was ahead of the way the court system works. It was such a relief to not worry about missing more time from work or family at a later date. The service provided regarding my case exceeded my expectations and I would refer Mr. Casey to anyone needing a D.U.I. attorney. I was well satisfied with the ending results. Mr. Casey has my total respect and trust and in my opinion, is the consummate legal counsel.

Cole Casey is the person to get the job done. I was referred to him from a great friend & could not have asked for anything better — from professionalism to efficiency, bottom line is he is the best in San Diego. I have also referred him to other friends who were more than satisfied with his services and help with other legal issues.

My son had one drink 2 weeks before his 21^st birthday and was caught at a sobriety check point. He was not legally drunk, but in CA you can’t have anything and drive before your 21. It was a scary time for us because there was a possibility of my son going to jail for a week or so, losing his license for a year, and losing his job because of all this. When we reached out to Cole, he took it over immediately, got his license back and the charges reduced to such a minor degree that they haven’t affected my son at all, even with his insurance rates.
Cole did everything. We didn’t even have to go to court. Thank you Cole. You made it seem so easy. We are truly grateful to you.
