Excellence in multiple disciplines

Justin has served us in purchasing our hime, as well as managing my late mother’s estate. In both cases he was extremely responsive with any questions we had which gave us great peace of mind. He helped us navigate two stressful circumstances with great knowledge and competence. We strongly recommend... Justin for any and all legal services one may be seeking.

Would highly recommend

Justin recently took care of my estate planning. He’s also handled the purchasing and selling of our houses. The experiences were enjoyable and insightful. Justin is very professional and took the time to answer my questions in detail and in a manner that was easy to comprehend. I’ve recommended h...im to friends and family and will continue doing so with the upmost confidence that he will handle their needs with equal precision.

Cents 4 sense.

Justin, Carlos and Jason are amazing attorneys whom all helped me by making a defined parenting plan and child support order in the most fair and professional manner. Great teamwork at the Castlebrook Law Firm. I wish you all the best New Year ever!

Best in the Fox Valley Area

Justin Hastings and his entire Castlebrook Law firm represent what you would want in your corner for any case. I hired Justin on a parenting time case that no one else would take. He assured me he could get it done. He did just that. Justin also took care of my child support concerns. Justin a...nd his team are not a show up and do the bare minimum operation. Justin, his partner Bryan, and the rest of the group are passionate about their clients rights, quality of life, and most of all, litigation. Without hesitation, hire Justin or one of the other great attorneys at his firm.

Effective

Justin handled a real estate transaction for me. He got through all the back and forth, and ensured that closing happened on time. At closing, everything was covered in the manner needed.

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.
