I have gone through hell in the family court system in Texas against the father of my children, who is an attorney in our community with abundant legal resources. After years of fighting for my children, I was unjustly put in criminal contempt for not bringing my daughter to soccer practice despite following the custody agreement and the advice of my attorneys at the time. I asked about appeal options, and while the attorneys felt my case was justified, they said it would be a waste of my time and money and that only two percent of cases win on appeal. However, as a mother and a teacher, I wanted to clear my reputation and fight for what’s right. I hired a law firm to file a mandamus with the Court of Appeals, but the court denied our petition. Not wanting to give up, I decided to go to the Texas Supreme Court. After consulting with a few attorneys who were very discouraging and didn’t want to take my case, one referred me to Attorney Sam Cole. Sam told me my case was a long shot but agreed I was right and would fight for me if I wanted to proceed. He worked with me on my case and on a payment plan that worked for my situation. He always explained everything and answered questions with patience and understanding. He thoroughly researched all that had happened and the law that surrounded the issue. Sam treated me as a person and not just a paycheck, and had I lost in the Supreme Court, I would still be writing this review. However, the Supreme Court did rule in our favor, and after more than 2.5 years of this hanging over my head, I am completely vindicated. I hope the outcome of my case will help prevent this from happening to others in the future.Pamela J.

In 2021, I was hit by an 18-wheeler, suffered a head injury, and was taken to a nearby trauma ER. As soon as I could do so, I contacted Jim Cole. Jim, supported by Will, Evan, Chuck, Luther, and all of Cole, Cole, Easley, and Sciba, provided unparalleled legal expertise, which resulted in a very favorable outcome for me. I've worked with trial lawyers on both sides of the bar, civil and criminal, all my working life. There are many good personal injury lawyers and law firms, but none finer than those at Cole, Cole, Easley, and Sciba.John R.
