Criminal Defense

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.

Terrific, hard-working and knowledgeable criminal defense attorney

Mr. Castillo did a brilliant job dealing with a difficult DUI-related case. This was a misdemeanor situation that had gotten blown out of proportion due to an egotistical judge. Mr. Castillo developed a great strategy and used his knowledge of the Superior Court operations to get the case handled f...airly. All the while he kept us informed and showed concern. His advice was comforting and he was realistic in making us understand possible outcomes. His assessments were accurate and his skill and knowledge of the law resulted in a very favorable conclusion. I strongly recommend Mr. Castillo to others in need of a criminal defense attorney.

A life saver

Alan was a beacon of hope in what was, potentially, a very dark situation. Though not his area of expertise, we were so impressed with his attitude, skill and professionalism, that we asked him to take our case anyway. Alan did not disappoint. He was a champion of justice for us, in what was a ver...y unjust situation. His communication was excellent, he made us feel protected and ultimately, vindicated. He always had time to answer our questions and was patient with us, when we got anxious about our situation. We ended up winning our case and were only required to show up to court on one day. Alan represented us several times in our absence. We liked Alan so much, that even when having an issue in Georgia with our automobile Title, we called Alan. Again, he showed his versatility and overall knowledge of the law and was prepared to assist us again. Luckily, we caught a break and did not need to go to court. In short, Alan is a hero in our book. He's just the right mix of gentle, understanding advocate and no BS, hard nosed butt kicker. I would recommend Alan for any legal issues you might have. Thanks Alan!

My experience with Alan Castillo

Allan Castillo is more than just a lawyer. I hired Alan as my lawyer because I made a huge mistake and drove after drinking , resulting in an accident. Going through one of the hardest times of my life, I cant even imagine having anyone else defend me and would only recommend him to anyone else if th...ey were ever in that situation. Alan not only worked relentlessly on getting me the best results in my case, but also helped with my sobriety, pointing me in the direction that would help me as a man. Having Alan as my lawyer was more like having a family member or best friend defending me. There was not one time during my case that I ever doubted his ability to get the best results. During my case Alan went through his own trials with a very serious illness that would have caused almost anyone to quit and put their health above others. Alan did not do that, after getting out of the hospital when he should have been home resting, he was back in the court room fighting for me. Alan is much more than a lawyer, he a remarkable man who has helped to get me a second chance at life. Alan is more of a role model not just for lawyers but for all of us, if we all fought as hard for each other as Alan did for me, in and out of the court room, this world would be a much better place. Thank You Alan for giving me a second chance in life. .

I have delt with other attornys.Alan is by far the most professional, comitted and supportive I've ever met. The case he handled for us was very difficult. He was able to get the charges reduced to a level that no one would ever believe. He spent countless hours working this case and making sure he g...ot the best deal possible. During the process he kept us informed and updated regularly. There was never a time where we doubted what Alan was doing. He had a clear objective and made sure it was met. During this process Alan became very ill and was in intensive care. Most people would have given up and handed the case over to an associate. Not Alan!! He got some help but when he was able to he came back strong. I am so happy we had Alan on our side. I think it is also important to point out that Alan had several other cases he was handling in addition to ours. He was still able to work a miracle for us. I would refer him to anyone in need of help.
