Alan Castillo

Alan, Peter and Marlo over at The SoCal Law Network are a force to be reckoned with! These guys helped me through a tough time in my life. They are true professionals who are down to earth people, who get to know you as a being, rather than a case number. This was my first major encounter with the la...w and I thought this DUI would be the end of me and my career. It turns out that it is only the beginning of my matured adult life with doors of opportunity opening immediately afterwards. With The SoCal Law Network being an experienced bunch, they knew how to handle me and my concerns because they have seen these exact cases many times over. That made the process so seamless. You want to leave these matters to the professionals like Alan, Peter and Marlo. After my DUI case was put away with the most minimal infractions on my record as possible, I got a firsthand experience to see them work on my case in the courthouse when they went up to bat for me again to help me get off informal probation. I noticed they have great relationships with the legal officials/clerks in the courtrooms, which in my opinion goes a long way. Weather it be for DUI or any other criminal charge against your record, I highly recommend this group.

Alan Castillo and the attorneys of SoCal Law Network were life savers for me. I had a first time brush with the law obtaining a DUI. Not serious I thought but I was so wrong. Being an RN I had no idea that my nursing license could be affected by something that had nothing to do with my job. Alan and... his partners Peter Iocona and Marlo Cordero were a God sent to me. They helped me through the legal process. After that, they helped me in my dealings with the Ca Board of Nursing. The assisted me in working to save my career and nursing license. They spent countless hours reassuring me and my husband, something that was certainly not a requirement. Their compassion, caring and skill as attorneys literally pulled me through one of the most difficult experiences in my life. I will be eternally grateful and am happy to refer them.

I am anonymously writing this review to enlighten you on the spectacular experience I had while going through a very traumatic time last year. I unfortunately was arrested for a second DUI while coming home from a Christmas party. I am employed as a healthcare professional and having this conviction ...on my record would have heavily encroached on my ability to practice due to the proposed ramifications imposed on me by my licensing board. I was referred to Alan, Barry, and Peter from a colleague and felt immediately comforted when I walked in their office (as compared to the prior 2 attorneys I had interviewed). Alan quickly broke down my options in my case and gave me tangible potential outcomes that gave me solace from the multitude of scenarios I had created in my own mind. Over the year I was working with Alan, I was witness to the diligence Alan put forth towards not only my case but managing the collateral damage created by dealing with my licensing board. Alan and his associates were, through a collaborative effort, able to deliver the optimal result in my case. The one thing I would like to highlight is the fact that when you hire Alan, you are not only employing one attorney, you are hiring an entire team of lawyers who specialize in this specific type of scenario. During the process of dealing with my case, I by chance, came across an article written in the OC Metro rating the top law firms in Orange County and was comforted to see Alan’s firm listed in the top 5. When I finally had to appear in court, I was able to observe how respected Alan is within the judicial system. The Judge, DA, and bailiffs all referred to him by his first name and allowed him to freely navigate through the judicial process unhindered( another attorney was also present during the closure of my case and was not nearly treated in the same fashion!). After my case was closed, Alan continued with the management of correspondence with my licensing board to create closure to this extremely stressful time in my life that nearly ended my career and marriage. I am indebted to Alan’s service and will never forget his compassion in my time of need. I cannot express how imperative it is to get the right attorney during a situation like this that can change the course of your life.

Using Alan Castillo, Esq., of the Law Offices of Barry T. Simon, has been a life saving experience for me. I have been a drug addict since 17. I am now 39 years old. I have been clean since 2005, when I had a 3 month relapse that ended my marriage and landed me behind bars. Since I've been out,... I have achieved a successful career in the fitness industry that has changed my life. However, I did get into a legal situation with my motorcycle that threatened my career and success. Alan Castillo and his staff at Barry T. Simon have helped save my career by representing me to an incredible standard. I am eternally grateful to them and their services, and I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking criminal representation. They are an incredible team of legal staff. Thank you, Alan Castillo, Esq. You are a wonderfully accomplished attorney.

I was pulled over in Santa Ana, CA in September 2011 and cited for Vehicle Codes #23152 (driving under the influence of alcohol/drugs) and #23152 (b) (driving with a blood alcohol .08% or more). I was looking at jail time, huge fines and losing my job. This was my 2nd DUI as I had received one eigh...t years prior. After four months of negotiating with the DA, Alan came in at the 11th hour and reviewed my case. Alan got the DA to agree to a wet reckless charge versus a DUI charge. My wife and I are so pleased with the results. I didn't have to serve any jail time or house arrest. His hard work saved my job and the outcome was so much better than we thought. Alan's staff, specifically Connie, are very professional, very responsive to emails and phone calls and truly displayed an interest in their clients. I highly recommend their services and this law firm.
