also known as Jim, Castle
I am a serious lawyer who addresses serious problems for my clients. I do it with integrity, hard work, tenaciousness and perseverance. You are not a number but a person who deserves an individual defense based on your needs and the specifics of your case. A tailored defense, the object of which is to get the best result possible.
I am a family man and understand that a criminal case does not just effect just an individual, but also their family. With that in mind, I treat you as family during and after representation.
Yes, I have had great success, but that is in large part to the people I surround myself with and my work ethic. I would be honored to be your champion.

Jim is the best attorney in Denver. This man has helped with serious issues and I would absolutely never use anyone else. A compassionate and very conscientious attorney.

"Jim Castle is a legend in the criminal defense community for his relentless pursuit of justice and ability to get results that others would believe to be impossible."
"I endorse this lawyer. Jim Castle is one of the best lawyers around. Jim is not only a very skilled trial lawyer, he is a brilliant strategist. Jim takes a “leave no stone unturned” approach to his cases. His case results speak for themselves."
"I endorse this lawyer without any reservations. It is amazing that I continue to learn from him every day from his responses on Avvo even though I have been licensed for 24 years and have served as a judge, magistrate, law professor, prosecutor, and private attorney. You can not afford not to hire him."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have worked with Jim on many criminal cases that had immigration implications. He is an outstanding lawyer in the area of federal criminal defense."
"Jim Castle is without a doubt the finest attorney I have ever known. He has the most fantastic combination of incredibly high intellect, court room skill, creativity, legal knowledge and writing capacity, persuasiveness (with juries, judges and prosecutors). In addition to all of that, he has an unmatched work ethic and preparedness that is driven by a belief in defending his client with every option allowed by the Constitution. Criminal Defense is not a job for him, it is his passion. If you or a loved one are accused of a crime, you quite simply will not find a better attorney than Jim Castle."
