An incredibly effective DUI attorney. He helped us with a seemingly hopeless case, NEVER gave up, appealed every which way and finally got the case over turned. We thank god every day for him!!

Mr. Genis went above and beyond in my defense during trial. His passion and dedication was always present. He went as far as to file an appeal for free simply because he believed it was the right thing to do.
Occassionally he goes a bit far in his commentary during trial due to his passion, and there was some lack of communication during the course of my case. That being said, he and his entire office know what they are doing and will fight for you!

In December I was pulled over turning into my community for "expired registration" even though it wasn't but because I am from Nevada our registration sticker is different and the cop thought it was expired. Long story short, because I am under 21 the cop gave me a DUI for .02%. I was freaking out because I didn't want my parents to find out and I just wanted to take care of everything myself. I researched all lawyers in Santa Barbara, and Mr. Genis was the ONLY one that wanted to meet me in person. As soon as I met him and we talked, I knew he was the one. He was so caring and generous , he let me know that nothing is 100% but he will do everything he can to help me not loose my license. Through out the whole process Mr. Genis and his assistance have been keeping me informed with everything that is happening with my case. They always reply so quickly, and I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer. In the end three months later, Mr. Genis won my case, and I was found not guilty.

cole casey once may have been a decent dui attorney but he now turns over cases to junior associates and has no interest in the little guy. after he takes your money you rarely see him again. if you do it is an unpleasant experience. he is only concerned with the dui's of judges, doctor and attorneys which he admitted that he asks the DA favors for. he uses alot of money to get his name out in the public but he is not worth your money in which he quickly graps. he does not do even the basics like interviewing witnesses, retesting the blood, motions, unless you force him too. he has been enormous waste of money and someone to avoid. he also blabs all over the court house and tried to influence other attorneys not to take over our case. when you see his face all over the internet realize that he can make those things up. avoid this unethic , uncaring lawyer unless your one of the leite. he is very sensitive when persoanlly criticized and brags openly about his financial state.

Mr. Casey put out no effort in my case and now I'm out over 5 grand not including my fines. I wish I had chosen someone else to take my case.

A sincere thank you for the post below. It allows us an opportunity to publicly proclaim that we do not have a SINGLE client in prison. We would ask lawyerratingz to maintain its credibility and investigate the veracity of the post. If it were legitimate, they would be able to provide a case number to substantiate the claim, privately or publicly . Allow me to cast a pearl to swine: spend more time mastering your craft & less time playing on the internet.

I have known Atty. Cole Casey for over 15 yrs. He was and still is a good friend, prior to ever needing his legal help. I have referred many of my closest friends and family to Cole, knowing that he and his staff would take the best care of them. Because of never needing his particular legal help in DUI defense, I was only able to verify the level of his legal services by those friends I referred to him. Each and everyone, I sent to his office, felt very fortunate to have Mr. Casey represent them.
Cole Casey and his staff are very well respected on both sides of the law.
I had a personal need for Cole and his staff to represent me, last year. I felt they were all confident and knowledgeable and always offered good advice. I never felt I would ever have the need for his representation, but, once I did, the way my case was handled, was impeccable. Without a doubt, if I or someone I know needs representation,I would ever hesitate to refer them to The Law Office of Mr. Cole Casey,Esq.

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.

My son had gone to Tijuana, for the first (and last) time in his early 20's to go nightclubbing. On his way back to the U.S. he was stopped at the U.S. check point because he had been drinking. His car was impounded and he was cited. I have never had to deal with anything like that before.
I was so inexperienced about it all that I thought he'd be fine if he were to handled it on his own without good representation. At the time, I thought "This will teach him."
A friend of ours strongly insisted that I get him legal counsel.
I am very glad I listened to her. And I'm extremely grateful to have found Cole Casey. He handled my son's case with confidence and compassion, and it turned out we surely needed his skills and experience after all, for many reasons.
Looking back I shudder to think what could have happened if it were not for Cole. Thank you, Cole, for the service you provide, for caring about what you do and for taking good care of my son.

I hired Cole Casey the 2nd time I was arested for DUI. What I would recommend about Cole Casey is that he actually takes cases to trial. I found out later that the 1st lawyer I hired had never actually done a jury trial. I prepared for trial with Cole's firm but I was offered a dry reckless that morning. I took the deal, but I bet Cole woulda won the case. Anyway, after all my research on lawyers I realized how important it is to find out whether they have actually taken cases to trial or if they just get plea bargains. Also, I liked that he didn't charge me anything to go to trial. My first lawyer charged so much for trial I just couldn't afford it. I recommend this lawyer highly.

I hired Cassey for my case and the lab results didn;t match and the case took a long time. At the end the prosecuter finally gave in. My license wasn't suspended because it was a cocaine driving case. The lab tests saved me

Cole Casey pormised to do many things to invistigate my case and gurantee the law was followed. Once he got my money he did none of the investigation he promised and advised me to pleed guilty. The lawyer handeling the DVM case never returned phone calls once they had my money. Do not hire this lawyer! He has too many cases and will want you to take a deal or pleed guilty so he doesn't have to spend time on your case.

There is no doubt that this lawyer has a good knowledge of the legal system and provided some good advice relating to my case. However, his knowledge was only applied prior to entering a contract and paying the fees. After the fees were paid, I found for the most part that I was on my own with respect to almost every decision and detail of the case except to actually have a lawyer show up and speak in court proceedings. I would guess that a public defender would have provided more assistance than is provided by this lawyer. The same applies to others in his office. Once the fees were paid, there was minimal assistance, and phonecalls and e-mails are not returned. I cannot recommend this lawyer based on my experience.

Attorney Casey was worth his fee. He had a great rapport with the judge. I hired him and he won my case. I wish he would take my personal injury case but he only does DUI, which is probably why he's so good at it. I actually sent him a thank you card because he really worked tenaciously to defend me.

I hired Mr. Casey to defend my DUI because my job was at stake. I am so appreciative of how sensitive he was and discrete. One thing I really admired was that the DA really respected him and sort of seemed to not want to take my case to jury trial. It ended up dismissed and I kept my position without having to tell my employer. His entire staff was really knowledgeable and efficient. Very professional servioe that I felt was well worth the fees.

Legal matters were a completely foreign thing to me when I first contacted Mr. Casey. He calmed me down and explained my options to me thoroughly. Having an understanding of what was going on during each step of the process allowed me to live my life while my case was still active. Additionally, Mr. Casey was able to get much better results than I ever imagined. He also showed great care and compassion throughout the duration of my case. He took away all of my fear and nervouseness of being in a courtroom. I've since then recommended him to several friends and will continue to recommend him.

In a very difficult personal and professional time, Cole Casey and the professionals in his firm assisted me with my DUI case. My expectations were high; however, Mr. Casey went above and beyond anything I could have hoped for. For every phone call I made to him, he would return my call rapidly and with the information requested. Not only did he act professionally and represent me to a degree far above standard, he treated me as an individual that made a mistake, not just another person to make money off of. I do not believe it is possible to provide a more professional, quality, and personalized service to those in need of an attorney. I have had several experiences where I was in need of an attorney(thankfully not criminal law), and Mr. Casey is without a doubt second to none. I recommend Mr. Casey to anyone in need of legal representation, and I assure you that you will have no regrets, only positive results.

This is Cole Casey. If you will note, each post here by a member of my firm identifies the post as such. We gladly put our name on the post, unlike a couple of local DUI lawyers who masquerade as clients of mine and post negative comments. Professional jealousy is in full swing. Note that NONE of the negatives are by "registered" users, nor do the writers leave their name. In other words, the COWARDS that do this don't have the courage to actually stand behind their comments. Moreover, this site (lawyerratingz) is the subject of much discussion on several websites, including the "ripoff report". I urge readers to view those sites before assigning much credibility to this site. As for my "personal" relationships, if thats at all relevant, I am proud of the friendships I have developed with the MAJORITY of my clients. There will always be those we cannot please, but we strive to run a very honorable, very reputable (ask around) and very professional practice. Thanks for reading this.

I don't have many words to explain how badly this lawyer burned me leaving me with a criminal record and charging high fees. People, I am a regular user and please listen to my advise, don't go with this lawyer. He is just interested in taking your money and has no "connections" with the court personnel (if he tells you that). It will be hard to even speak to him once you have paid your money.

My complete and total thank you to Cole. I called around, met with lawyers all over town, and heard every sales pitch imaginable. Old friend refers me to Cole Casey, decided to trust his judgment... met with Cole, and finally met someone who didn't give me a sales pitch. Underpromised and overdelivered.... I have no criminal record to date. Thank you, Mr. Casey.

Cole's firm is awesome. I hired Cole for my second DUI - and I wish I had him for my first. That guy, who will remain un-named, was real convincing until we got to court - the wolf in the office became the scared little kitten in court. Cole, on the other hand, is a true courtroom brawler. Absolutely un-intimidated. And his staff is young, energetic and sharp. I can't say enough about those guys. ...Not sure about the comments below - sounds more like ex-girlfriends... I heard he's had a few.

I hired casey to handle my daughter's second drunk driving arrest, and he was excellent. We thought it was going to trial but turned out we didn't have to because he got her first offense removed. He was out of the office with a health problem for awhile, but once he came back everything was good..very good.A great lawyer,in my opinion
