Cara Marie Dames

I cannot explain into words how grateful I am for Cara and the amazing talent she has in not only law, but treating you like a human being. I unfortunately had a run in with the law where I was looking at substantial time in prison. After my interaction with police, I scrambled to find a capable atto...rney. I spoke with many different offices and all were rude, acted like they had little time for you, and seemed more worried about getting your money than anything. Down and thinking there was no hope, I was finally referred to Cindy’s office and was assigned to Cara. Cara immediately took action and began working on my case. She was able to get an extension almost immediately as I had also had some severe health issues that required surgery. Ultimately she was able work out a favorable outcome with no jail time and a minimal impact to my record. Over everything, she treated me like a human being, provided the reassurance that I needed, and walked me through literally every step of the process. Even after sentencing, she stayed with me to guide me through every step after. Thank you for everything Cara. As a side note, everyone at Cindy’s office that I interacted with (Amanda, Cindy, Cara, etc) were all so amazing and understanding as well. Thank you everyone, especially you Cara, in all that you’ve done for me. I recommend Cara if you need an attorney that cares and will fight for you.

My son moved to Arizona 10 years ago. I admit he was no angel and got himself into trouble on multiple occasions during that time. However he has been on the road to success until his most charges. He slipped up and I was afraid he'd be facing serious jail time because of his prior convictions. So, a...fter 10 years of watching my son go in and and out of the Arizona criminal system and knowing how well he was doing before this slip-up I decided it was time to hire an attorney. He needed an attorney who specialized in probation violations. And after extensive research I found the Castillo Law firm. I was originally impressed by what I read about this firm and hired them to represent my son. Our personal experience has been with Cara Dames. Considering my son's extensive criminal background Cara would need to find us a miracle, and THAT'S JUST WHAT SHE DID!! From Day 1 she made My son moved to Arizona 10 years ago.

Considering my son's extensive criminal background Cara would need to just about find us a miracle, and THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT SHE DID!! From Day 1 she made him feel comfortable by not passing judgment and listening to him. She was so good; she not only gave him the advice he needed, but most importantly the confidence knowing that she had his back. She blew us away with the plea deal she worked out with the prosecution team. A deal that was "unheard of" as the judge so eloquently put it. And when it came time for sentencing my son got everything Cara promised us and more! She even got a reduction to his fines and court costs! She remained calm and optimistic throughout his case which was contagious and put us at ease. We couldn't be more satisfied with the outcome and we are beyond grateful for all of Cara's time and expertise! We would recommend the Castillo Law Firm to anyone seeking a fair and just outcome!

Cara Marie is one of the best lawyer individual that God put in my life. I had a tough time and was going through a lot of personal things during the process of me fighting my case. There was a point where I even gave up because I thought for sure there was nothing she can do and I was going to priso...n. Cara may not know but but as tears are coming down my eyes just writing this review she fought and did everything she can do to keep me from going to jail. My children's motherPassed away. Cara did not represent her I'm just saying that to say this if you put yourself in my kids position they thought when you go to jail that you die. I promise I can't thank Cara enough because I have my freedom and she's somebody that in my eyes actually care about her clients Nowadays it's about money and that was not the issue our impression I felt about Cara. She is definitely a lifesaver and if I had it I would give Cara a bonus for the simple fact that in my eyes she fought all she can and did everything she can to keep me out of jail. I would always recommend anyone that is looking for a lawyer to go to Cara.
