Excellent Job

I was pleasingly and pleasantly satisfied with Kelly. She was professional at all times yet she didnt make me feel like I was "just a client". She spoke in a "language" that I could understand step by step what was going on and at times when I felt tensed and never voiced it, she pickup on it and p...ut my mind at ease. Would I hire her again (and Katherine and Tom) should the need arise, ABSOLUTELY, without a shadow of a doubt. She represented herself and her firm very well and they should be very proud to have her among them.

A knowledgeable and compassionate attorney

Kelly was very professional, informative, and immediately responsive to any questions or concerns I had. I was going through a very emotional phase in dealing with such a bitter custody/support case. Yet, she helped me remain humble during the process. She was very sympathetic and kept me knowledgeab...le of the situation and my legal rights every step of the way. I would highly recommend her.

Diligent and Passionate

Kelly Castor is an extremely knowledgable and diligent attorney. My experience with her has been nothing but positive. She is not easily intimidated and her degree of discernment pending the circumstances is always on point. She is passionate about her clients and absolutely passionate about her work.... I intend on using her again for future business.

Superb!

Ms. Castor was most helpful and responsive in reviewing my auto insurance language. She presented me with multiple options to pursue my case and I ultimately came out on top. I would definitely recommend her services.

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.
