David Maurice Decastro

I have been an attorney for over 34 years. During my career, I have represented both plaintiffs and defendants in various employment, real estate and business disputes. I have had tremendous success in both jury trials and arbitrations.

Because my firm is small, I can give each case the attention it deserves so that the client has the best chance of achieving victory at trial. I never forget that your case is the most important case to you.

I also know that my clients do not want to be involved in litigation because it takes away time and resources that should be devoted to running and growing a business. That is why I provide my clients day-to-day advice to ensure their compliance with state and federal laws and to develop risk management programs.

And if one of my clients is involved in litigation, I work diligently to resolve the case without compromising the client's interests and goals. Because my opponents know that I have the experience to win at trial, I can achieve excellent settlement results for my clients.

I have extensive training and experience in negotiation and settlement techniques. Not only do I use these skills to help my clients, but I also act as a private mediator, helping others settle disputes. I mediate all types of cases including real estate disputes, business disputes and personal injury case. 

I have been named to the Southern California Super Lawyers list as one of the top attorneys in Southern California every year since 2013. I was also nominated for a 2012 Trusted Advisor Award by the San Fernando Valley Business Journal. I was one of only 40 attorneys in the entire San Fernando Valley who were nominated. I have also been recognized by the Los Angeles Superior Court for my volunteer services as an Alternative Dispute Resolution Neutral. I am a member of the State Bar of California and I am also licensed to practice in the United States District Court, Central District.
