Above and beyond service!!!

Kelly and her staff are absolutely phenomenal!!! They're all on top of their game in that office. Kelly is very hands-on and they are great communicators, never leave you hanging on anything. When they know anything, you'll know straight away. If they can't reach you by phone call, she will text ...and email too just to make sure she reaches you. Work ethics and moral compasses run very high in her establishment. I would recommend her for all needs she handles, mine was personal injury from an auto accident, but I will likely be using her for other needs that she specializes in. I'm very confident that she excels in all. She also guides you every step of the way and happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have about your case. Guarantee you will not be disappointed in Castor Law services and all that it entails.

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.

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.
