Outstanding lawyer

In our property and leasing dispute, Sara was outstanding! 1. Most impressive was her thorough and detailed knowledge not only of the law but of our church, its case and its detailed long term history. She was able to speak with such knowledge during an important phone call that our opponent asked ...her if she was a member of our church. 2. Our lawsuit was settled without going to court, which was our desire. 3. Additionally, we are now friendly with those with whom we had a dispute which is also at least partially due to Sara's efforts and demeanor. 4. My family has had a long term relation with Farr Law firm which I still consider an outstanding law firm, and yet when the officers at our church had to vote on continuing with Farr or with Sara as she was leaving them to start on her own, we unanimously voted to stay with Sara, we counted her the better out of two excellent choices.

P & C Ultimate Lawn Care Owner

Attorney Castro has completed several matters for me, including creating an LLC for my rental properties and creating a business entity for my lawn care business. She always responded to me and was reasonably price. Explained everything clearly. Great experience. Thanks so much!

Posted by Angela | August 26, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Business

Highly Recommended

I highly recommend Sara Castro for your legal needs. She has represented me on several occasions in relation to my business as well as personal matters, including separation from my prior business relationship, launching my own business, drafting numerous contracts, advising me when I do and do not... need a contract, and advising regarding disputes with business associates. I have gone through several transitions with Sara, including most recently taking my business virtual, and her legal advice always takes into account practical non-legal concerns as well (rather than just pushing for the most in depth legal route every time). Sara is time efficient and clear in her communication and offers practical, well-rounded advice. She is a lawyer that genuinely cares for her clients wellbeing and it is felt in the work that she does. Every time I have worked with her I have felt heard and secure that her service will provide the results that I need and I couldn't recommend her enough.

Great!

She's represented me in several legal matters over the years, and always given good advice and achieved good results. Very professional and really cares about her client's needs. Would definitely recommend!

Posted by Diana | August 20, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Landlord & Tenant

Business owner

I could not have been more pleased with the professional services of Sara Castro. She helped me deal with a very difficult landlord who had a very restricting lease. I was very pleased with the outcome. I did not think anyone could get my landlord to compromise, but Sara Castro did. I also consulte...d with Sara Castro concerning marital conflicts that need her professional Mitigation talents. I have to say that Sara Castro is one of the most kind hearted understanding people I have ever met. You can tell when you are speaking with her that she genuinely cares about you. You know that you are not just a number to her. Sara Castro will definitely fight for you. I highly recommend having Sara Castro as your legal representative. Trust me, you will not regret it.
