MARY COLE comes to the bench with an honest and aggressive approach and a dedication to fight for you. The former Lake County prosecutor, graduate of The John Marshall Law School, and AAIM Award winner will walk you through every part of the process to ensure you understand what is happening. “I will do everything I can to protect your rights and allow you to be heard,” says Cole, who worked in prosecution and defense for government agencies as well as prestigious firms before becoming a partner at Brady Cole Trial Lawyers LLC. Her success in DUI cases, Domestic Battery charges, and Orders of Protection make her the attorney you want on your side.
Greatest risk you have taken as a professional? Throwing my name in the ring and running for Lake County State’s Attorney. I am passionate and protective of this community. It takes a completely different kind of courage to bet on yourself and ask the rest of the world to bet on you as well. It’s not brave if you aren’t scared.
What does power mean to you? Responsibility. A duty to serve and protect those around you.
Who is your role model and why? My mother, Mimi Cole, was the first of her siblings to be born in Thailand after her family fled Communist China. She spent the next few decades working in her family’s restaurant, dreaming that one day she would have a better life, which came when my uncle made his way to America and sent her a one-way plane ticket. Shortly thereafter, she met my father, David Cole. Speaking no English, with a very limited formal education, my mother opened Mimi Cole Designers Ltd. With a mother like that, what excuse could I possibly have to not chase my life?
