Alan Castillo is an absolutely an amazing attorney! I had an extremely difficult case. I was devastated about my DUI arrest and was thinking of the worst out come. I am a self employed professional and knew I needed to do what ever it takes to save my career, my family and my life. When I first met Alan he assured my that he would fight hard to keep what I worked so hard for and not let this incident ruin the rest of my life. His expertise in knowing the law and the legal system is second to none. He is a master in the court room. He is tireless and always exhausts every possible opportunity to get best possible result for his client. Of course I had to do my part with his instruction and gained my trust as we navigated the way though the legal system. He did more than I ever could have hoped and always assured me, through his experience, that I would make it through this difficult time. He always does what he says and he delivered extremely incredible results, even more than I expected. He literally saved my livelihood and life. Thank you Alan.

Great Result. The First time saw him in action in court I knew I wanted this guy to handle my case. He walked the talk. From the start he made no guarantees, no promises and gave it to me straight. A real professional.

Alan, Peter and Marlo over at The SoCal Law Network are a force to be reckoned with! These guys helped me through a tough time in my life. They are true professionals who are down to earth people, who get to know you as a being, rather than a case number. This was my first major encounter with the law and I thought this DUI would be the end of me and my career. It turns out that it is only the beginning of my matured adult life with doors of opportunity opening immediately afterwards. With The SoCal Law Network being an experienced bunch, they knew how to handle me and my concerns because they have seen these exact cases many times over. That made the process so seamless. You want to leave these matters to the professionals like Alan, Peter and Marlo. After my DUI case was put away with the most minimal infractions on my record as possible, I got a firsthand experience to see them work on my case in the courthouse when they went up to bat for me again to help me get off informal probation. I noticed they have great relationships with the legal officials/clerks in the courtrooms, which in my opinion goes a long way. Weather it be for DUI or any other criminal charge against your record, I highly recommend this group.

Alan Castillo is a confident council. He‘s intelligent and unconventional in his ways. He’s direct and to the point which is precisely the reason why I hired him since I tend to be the same way. He has the ability to look at your case and determine right then and there what he‘s capable of doing with it to suit your best outcome. Once he’s hired it’s just best to let him go to work and let him do what he does. I was charged with a felony child endangerment case Against my almost 18 year old son. Since being a father was one of the only things in my life I was ever proud of, the case weighed heavily on me. I went through all the emotions, I just wanted the court to realize that this was a mistake. I only wanted them to know the truth. I hired Alan and today on my birthday which was also my court date I am now able to see my son again after 7 months of mind altering pain. I thank you Alan for the hard work, the immediate responses to my inquires, and the listening ears.

Alan provided great counsel and did an excellent job resolving my case. I was facing very stiff consequences. He knew exactly what to do and how to approach the situation in order to get me the best possible outcome. He told me what the best possible scenario was and then he did even better than that! He was very responsive through out and genuinely showed concern and care for my situation. He even came and visited me to discuss the case and check on me while I was in custody which I really appreciated. I highly recommend him and his team.

Alan Castillo and the attorneys of SoCal Law Network were life savers for me. I had a first time brush with the law obtaining a DUI. Not serious I thought but I was so wrong. Being an RN I had no idea that my nursing license could be affected by something that had nothing to do with my job. Alan and his partners Peter Iocona and Marlo Cordero were a God sent to me. They helped me through the legal process. After that, they helped me in my dealings with the Ca Board of Nursing. The assisted me in working to save my career and nursing license. They spent countless hours reassuring me and my husband, something that was certainly not a requirement. Their compassion, caring and skill as attorneys literally pulled me through one of the most difficult experiences in my life. I will be eternally grateful and am happy to refer them.

I owe Alan Castillo a huge thank you for settling my case involving firearms and an ugly auto accident. He listened to every detail and thought outside the box and was able to to make a horrible case turn into a slap on the wrist in comparison to my charges. Originally started as a felony, dropped to a misdemeanor, and was thankfully brought down to a simple infraction. His firm Socal law network is outstanding in every way possible. My sincere thanks

Alan Castillo was wonderful, he is a very capable attorney he communicated with me personally and always responded timely to any questions I had. He took the time to understand my personal situation and communicate that to the court. Ultimately Alan settled my 20 year old DUI case he helped me get me into the mandatory class I needed to lift my suspension and was able to have the court drop one of the required courses. He was able to convince the court to let me pay the outstanding fine and recall the warrant. All this and I didn’t have to appear in court once! Alan is fantastic he will fight for you and take the time to present your case and get the best possible outcome.

I highly recommend Alan Castillo at The SoCal Law Network in Laguna Hills as I hired him for my 2 recent DUI's and the outcome highly exceeded my expectations! He went up and beyond any other Attorney. Alan is amazing, highly intelligent, knows the laws inside and out, honest, reliable, accountable, sincere and takes control of your case as if it were his own life on the line and answered my calls whenever I needed him. He has an impeccable reputation with the court system and is highly respected by all. Alan walked me through all of the many processes and legal steps until I understood, as there can be so many various options, details and processes imposed by the court system. He is aggressive and achieved the best possible outcome for me. He follows up with clear and concise verbal explanations as well as step by step emails so there was never a question in my mind on what was going to transpire next or what I should expect to happen. I actually had peace of mind and slept very well at night because Alan was handling my case. Thank you so much Alan for all your hard work and dedication as you literally saved my life!
