Honest and Reliable legal advice

Sara Castro provided me and my husband with very helpful legal advice and service. We briefly worked with Sara and she was knowledgeable and gave us the proper advice. I highly recommend Sara Castro, she listens and is very professional.

Sara helped me with business sale documents that proved vital

I was selling my business after 13+ years and the buyer had an attorney he insisted on using for the closing. I at least wanted to have someone go over their papers in my behalf. Sara did so for me and found multiple holes and issues, missing documents with their work that would have left me vulne...rable. She prepared the proper closing documents for me and gave me absolute peace of mind. She was awesome to work with. I will use her services again.

Best Lawyer Experience I Have Ever Had, Hands Down !

I am a State Certified Building Contractor and was involved in a dispute with a homeowner over a breach of contract and indebtedness. I hired Sara Castro with the FARR Law Firm and from the very start she was absolutely amazing. She proved to be one of the hardest working and most caring attorneys I ...have ever dealt with. Over the course of my case I had the privilege of working closely with Sara and attending hearings and depositions where I was able to observe Sara in her element. The opposing counsel was the most unprofessional and disrespectful person I have ever met in my life, however despite all his bullying tactics and lack of professional respect Sara remained the professional at all times and conducted herself with the utmost integrity which paid off in the end with the settlement of my case. I am extremely happy with how she conducted herself and I believe it's a reflection of how things are at the FARR Law Firm. She is and will always be my counsel for life ! Thank you Sara! you're the best !

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.
