    “Honorable Law Firm”
    My family has used the firm since 2005. As a small business owner, they have helped us deal with many different matters. Among other attorneys, we have dealt with Chuck Cole most often. All the staff has been courteous and professional. We have found them to be an honorable law firm that offers sound advice.

    “There are many good personal injury lawyers and law firms, but none finer than those at Cole, Cole, Easley, and Sciba.”
    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.
