Carina Castaneda

I was wrongly charged for a felony and two misdemeanors leaving me bewildered, scared and confused. The power of the government is overwhelming. I was referred to Ms. Castaneda by a close friend. She immediately found time in her busy schedule to accommodate a meeting with me. I felt comfortable wi...th her the moment she greeted me. Not once did I feel anxious again regarding my case after our initial consultation. Ms. Castaneda insisted that we develop a comprehensive mitigation packet to be sent to the prosecutors BEFORE the judge even read my case. The extra work before my plea date, made all the difference in the world to keep my record clean. I have retained attorneys in the past and wondered how they could justify the fees they were charging. Not so with Ms. Castaneda. It was very evident early that her value is in her professionalism, cordial and down-to-earth personality and her experience with the various courts in the community. She is also a mother which makes her seem much more human. I would recommend Carina and her team to my own family. She is a force to be reckoned with!

Carina Castaneda is a very skilled, professional, and experienced attorney. She patiently takes her time to work on cases and puts a lot of effort to guarantee satisfactory results to her clients. In my year long divorce case which ended up being tried, Carina was exceptional in her organizationa...l and presentation skills. She stayed in touch with me on an almost daily basis and informed me of what was happening in a timely manner. She offered expert legal advice and calmed me down when matters got rough. Not only is she knowledgeable about family law, but she is also well aware of business law and criminal law. After a serious battle over child custody, I got primary physical custody of my daughter with an acceptable amount of child and spousal support. I was truly lucky to hire a lawyer like her and I would never forget how high she lifted me up when I was down. I would describe her as a woman of steel with just the right amount of warmth and compassion! Thanks Carina!

My case is something I want to remain confidential. Working with Atty. Castaneda made me feel like it was all going to work out and it did. My criminal case was dismissed. In my first appointment with her, she wanted to know about me and my family. She told me that the police report was not going to ...show the good things about me and that she needed to represent me accordingly. She asked about my job, my kids, community service, etc. I really feel you can tell her anything--she is not intimidating, in fact, she is so down to earth that you can not believe she has done so much. I would let everyone know who has a case to call her. I have recommended her to friends and if it is not her area, she is so nice, she will take the time to call you back and try to give you a referral to another attorney. I was very lucky to find her.
