This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

This guy is awesome

He did not represent me in court although I would have loved to hire him. Spent an hour with me, full of energy, very honest, pointed me in right direction and really cares about his clients. I almost want to get. Arrived again just to get divorced just to hire him

superb

James Castronova is as versed as they come when it comes to family law. In working with him, he kept me well informed of every action he planned on introducing, he is the ultimate professional, and made me feel comfortable going into court. I highly recommend Mr. Castronova, I was pleasantly satisfie...d and gracious to have him represent me.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
