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!

Definitely recommend, five star service and better than expected results - definitely recommend as a DUI defense 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.

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. .

AlanCastillo

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.

Aggressive & Impressive

Great Result. The First time saw him in action in court I knew I wanted this guy to handle my case. He walked the talk. From the start he made no guarantees, no promises and gave it to me straight. A real professional.
