Excellent lawyer in my divorce

I had a consultation with Catherine 6 months before I finally made the decision to file for divorce. When I called her back, she had all notes from the consultation and was ready to move on filing quickly. She was so helpful throughout the long process of my divorce. She asked me questions about what... I wanted for me and my child and even realized the things I didn’t know I needed (but glad I have now). Our case ended up in court and she was amazing. Thankfully we came to an agreement before the second court date. One of my deciding factors to hiring Catherine was that she is a working mom and understands the hard-to-explain balance of loving your child and wanting the best for your child while also working hard to provide for your child. All billing was clear to understand and she and Erin answered all questions quickly.

A wonderful experience

My case I brought to Catherine Casto was unique because I only had 5 days to complete my divorce due to tight travel constraints. I retained her on a monday and my wife and I were there signing the papers on friday of the same week. This was unbelievable. Thank you Catherine and thanks to her extr...aordinary para legal, Erin.

I don’t recommend using Catherine Cast for your divorce case.

I hired Catherine to help with my divorce and child custody case. She did not contact me with updates for weeks at a time. She did not send me bills unless asked and did not include the amount left in my retainer on the bills. She was not proactive and empathetic around my concerns regarding my husba...nds mental health issues. She recommended I get a restraining order against my husband and then when the judge would not sign it she emailed “ you can do it yourself” ( putting myself and my sons safety in danger).

Replied last March 11, 2020

Any other case initiated by the client pro se (on their own) is outside the scope of my representation. Please refer to the attorney-client engagement letter you signed. In no way did I ever put you, or any other person in danger. That statement is completely false and impossible. With regards to updates, I make it a practice to update our clients via emails of anything received in or going out of our office. If a client does not hear from us, then there is nothing new to report. We are also mindful to return calls right away. I understand that some clients will never be 100% satisfied with the outcome of his/her case, and it’s easier to blame the attorney for their unhappiness. I hope that when others read your review, they will consider the reviews of the majority of my other clients who express their content and appreciation. Best of luck to you.

Fabulous lawyer!

Catherine handled my divorce case with care and efficiency. I felt that my case was a priority to her and she fought for things I didn’t even know I needed! She responded quickly to any questions I had and ensured that I was happy every step of the way.

Exceptional representation

Catherine Casto represented me in my recent divorce. She was immediately accommodating for the consultation and I hired her on the spot. She had my kids' and mine best interests at all times. The divorce process was intimidating and traumatic, but she was a true captain on a stormy sea. Within th...ree months my divorce was final. I could not ask for better, more professional, and compassionate representation. I'd like to mention the support staff she has was just as valuable as she was.
