A No fuss settlement.

Kelly and her team exceeded my expectations with assisting me with my legal matter. The team was accessible and the response times were greatly appreciated. I did not feel like my matter was small, I actually felt like a priority. If I had any questions or concerns about any matter, it was explained ...to me so I could fully understand the situation. If I should ever be in need of legal services, I would definitely retain the services of Ms. Castor. I'm so happy with my outcome and I highly recommend their legal services!

ETERNALLY GRATEFUL!!!

3 years ago I found myself needing legal representation for a family estate dispute in NJ, though I'm down here in FL. I randomly Googled and landed on Kelly, who was working at a law firm at the time. My case was slow goings and in the midst Kelly struck out on her own (and I was glad to leave her o...ld firm and support her new venture as her direct client). My case has been deeply frustrating, with numerous delays (due to opposing counsel), but recently we've made significant headway! Kelly; you've literally saved and changed my life with your expertise and diligence! I truly appreciate your flexibility, transparency, patience, and willingness to educate me, as this was my first time ever needing a lawyer for anything. You've been incredible legal counsel, and you've guided me every step of this lengthy process. You're brilliant, approachable, and I've always felt that you've had my best interest at heart. Not to mention you're stunning (has nothing to do with anything but it's worth noting). Thank you, thank you, thank you! I will always recommend your services to friends and family! I hope to meet you in person when I'm back in NY/NJ to thank you with a huge hug as well.

Family law

Kelly Castor gave me really excellent advice & consulted me regarding family law in reference to marital protection and health proxy information. She took the time to go over the different options that I have in estate planning and how to protect yourself in a marriage before getting married. I reall...y appreciate her time and her expertise that I would not have received otherwise. Ms. Castor is definitely in her career to help others and I really appreciate that. Thank you Ms. Castor for the consultation. I recommend this attorney for your marriage, health and estate planning questions.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
