Paul Castle is such a talented lawyer. I truly thank him for his help and his willingness to fight for us no matter the state of our situation. Also, his front office staff are very helpful and a delight to deal with as well!
Knowledge and level of effort that are worth worth 4x what he charges. The guy worked twice as hard as my last attorney that literally changed me a retainer 4x what Mr Castle charged me. I can't say enough good things about this group of professionals. I know some will read this glowing review and think it to be a shill or fake review, but I dont care. I wont give this review any less than Mr Castle gave me in court. I consulted with several attorneys before choosing The Castle Law firm. Mr. Castle was the only one that was willing to do the extra work and go the extra mile to get all the charges before I turned myself in. So I knew what I was facing before hand, to properly be prepared. That set the tone for the kind of service I received through out the entire case. Because of his effort he got me bail so cheap I could pay the bond without even going to the atm, then he got me a really great deal from the ADA. But I was dead set on clearing my name so we went to trial. The staff was always helpful keeping me updated and were easy to deal with. When the trial started I was able to see why Castle is known as the best damn trial lawyer in 3 county's. He stayed cool under pressure when the pretrial motions started. All the while I'm losing faith in the justice system with every motion the judge gives the prosecution. And the jury selection didnt make it look any better. By the time the ADA was done presenting the first witness I felt beaten. But not Castle. He reminded me, in not so many words, that it's not the luck of the draw the matters it's the way you play your cards, that count. Once the state rested their case, Mr Castle began to slowly present his facts. Strategically shining a light on the holes in their case. With every question he asked you started to see a whole new picture coming to light. It was not long after that, I felt the tide begin to turn in our favor. As the fact pattern developed you could see he was in total control of everyone's attention in that court room, it was like a general leading the army to battle. The closing argument brought the different pieces together the way a conductor brings together the instruments of an orchestra. He gave the jury a chance to see and hear past the smoke and mirrors presented by a prosecutor that seemed to care more about winning than he cared about truth... the only thing I remember after that is hearing the judge say "Not Guilty"
The Castle Law Firm defended me in Onslow County Family Court. Not only did we win our case, Paul Castle convinced the judge to order my ex wife to pay my legal fees. PUT the Castle Law Firm telephone number in your cellphone contacts list!
Mr. Castle is a winner. Dedicated and professional. He will give your case all his attention and will give you his honest opinion of the case. No lawyer talk, but will explain in a way that you understand. Good man and professional I endorse him fully. You will be glad you did hire his service.
I was involved in a child custody case in which I had hired 2 previous attorneys. At the time of my separation I lived in Jacksonville, but moved to Maryland with my son. Being at a disadvantage of living in another state, the 2 previous attorneys did not look out for my sons best interest It was a horrible experience until I was referred to Mr. Castle. Mr. Castle took on my case and tried to fix the mess that was made by the previous attorneys. After months of his determination and dedication it finally was settled and my son and I can now move with our lives. Mr. Castle showed me the compassion and respect that no other lawyer attempted. He used every resource possible to help me and looked at my son as a person not a possession that I was fighting for. He was my angel sent to help me through this difficult time. I would recommend him to anyone needing any legal representation. His honesty through this whole process kept me focused. There were times when I was so upset and thought the odds were against me, but he always kept me on track. He guided me every step of the way and at the very end, he put everything he had together and we finally settled the case on my terms. He is not only an excellent attorney but a wonderful person who I am so blessed to have on my side throughout this time.
I went to trial with Mr. Castle for the charge of Robbery with a dangerous weapon. He worked hard with me and helped me to get a verdict of not guilty. He's the best representation I've ever had, and he is very focused and determined to win. The odds in this case were very much against us, and i thought for sure i'd be convicted and sentenced to 6-8 years, but Mr. Castle remained calm the whole time and his advice and courtroom tactics are VERY effective. He was proactive about contacting my family about any updates and he came to see me every time I had a question or concern. Because of Mr. Castle, my innocence was proven in style. I HIGHLY recommend Mr. Castle to anyone with criminal charges. Like I said, the odds of my case were VERY much against us, but he was still able to help me win this case.
I contacted Mr. Castle on a recommendation of a friend for a speeding ticket. They explained my options and gave me all the information, I would need to make an educated decision. The process went smoothly and there were no curve balls or last minute changes. In the event that you are ever in a situation like this, get a lawyer and get this lawyer. Both Mr. Castle and Misty were extremely professional and helpful.
Mr. Castle and his very competent staff were outstanding! Mr. Castle was honest and forthright from the beginning of his handling our custody case. His staff keeps careful records and is courteous and professional at all times. No call or email ever went unanswered. Mr. Castle honored his commitment to our family. He is thorough and skillful - someone to be trusted and that's important when it comes to hiring someone to be your representative.
My husband and I were both charged with 2 felonies and after his hard work and dealing with the DA he was able to get them reduced to 1 misdemeanor Obstruction of Justice, he and his office staff were always ready to attend to our calls and questions. They are very professional and personable. They are a great Staff and Attorney. I highly recommend Castle Law Firm to anyone.
Mr. Castle represented both my husband and myself, in what can only be described as: A hard fought battle. When the outcome was finally determined in our favor, tears of joy ran down my face. His diligence, determination & all around knowledge of the law, is absolutely awe inspiring & ultimately what won our case. That's just his professionalism. As a person, Mr. Castle's compassion in taking on our appeal at no charge, is a direct showcase of his upstanding character. From start to finish; a year and a half long battle, where Mr. Castle and his team never faltered; never gave up. Adding, we were always kept informed and up to date on all relevant proceedings. We will never forget Mr. Castle and what he's done for my husband and I. He will be kept in my memory as one of those amazing people you were fortunate to have met in your lifetime. Again, an amazing attorney & even more, a wonderful, trustworthy, outstanding human being.
