Excellent estate planning attorney
Mr. Castillo did a great job on explaining to us our estate plan. We wanted to ensure our old trust was up to date and we also wanted to make certain changes. We liked that he advised us himself and not by another assistant. It was great working with him and I would refer him to my friends.
