One-of-a-Kind

I had an amazing experience with this Firm! Jessica Castro handled my case, and she is an absolute Godsend! From the very beginning, Jessica and the team demonstrated exactly why they are so successful-excellence. The attention to detail and expertise I received was phenomenal. Also, Jessica was incr...edibly diligent to keep me informed and give timely updates as my case progresses. She is the real deal! Such a professional and patient/diligent all at the same time. She was instrumental in providing peace of mind and a far exceeded any expectation I had in my lawsuit. Could not have been more pleased to have her working on my case. So thankful for the team having taken my case! Thank you Jessica, you really are a Treasure!

Administrative Assistant

Jessica and Gabby were incredible! Their main focus was making sure I first got the best medical help I needed. They did a great job in communicating every step of the process. And the went out of their way to find people that would work with my needs. They definitely look out for their clients. Defi...nitely recommending them to more of our family and friends!!

You need her to represent you.

Jessica is a true hero. By the time I met her, I had already been told by multiple other attorney's to accept my insurance's offer, and to be happy with it. I kept looking, because something didn't feel right, and I was grateful the law office took on my case when they did. I worked with them to buil...d my case, and sure enough we eventually had to go to mediation. I was a lot nervous. I didn't know what to expect. Enter Jessica Castro, and instantly, I knew I would fine. Her energy is something else. She laid out her plan for mediation, and for a slight second, I thought she was frankly tripping, but I knew she had it, so I let it all ride. In the end, I got astronomically (!) more than the initial offer by MY insurance, the offer those other attorney's advised me to be thankful for. Jessica was/is exceptional only where it counts, because when I started to tear up, she turned into a supportive confidant. There are no exaggerations in any part of this review, I just wrote it how it happened. Thank you Jessica.

Jessica Castro is who you need on your side!

El Dabe Ritter Trial Lawyers is an excellent law firm. I was involved in two car accidents that were a month apart from each other. My case manager, Gabby, was awesome at helping me manage my medical care and explain property damage to me. Once it came to settlement, my attorney, Jessica Castro, real...ly came through. She and Gabby got me an excellent result and really maximized my settlement by reducing my medical bills afterwards. Their customer service is superb and I would highly recommend them to anyone else. The only con I would give is that this process takes a long time. It took almost two years to settle out both of my cases and I would have liked to know these things take that kind of time up front. There was a little miscommunication in Jessica making those timelines/delays clear, but in the end, it all worked out and I know that ERTL really cares about their clients. I would highly recommend

An exceptional Lawyer!

I was referred to Jessica by another lawyer and am so incredibly grateful I reached out when my handicapped uncle was hit by a car as a pedestrian. She took over our case after my attempt at dealing with the logistics of a settlement with an insurance company deemed overwhelming. She quickly handled ...our case from start to finish with a professionalism and thoroughness that made me feel like I put in zero effort and yet still reaped major rewards. The settlement that came in was double the amount we had anticipated from the start and it's no doubt it's all due to her experience and diligence. Words are inadequate in describing the magnitude of gratitude in how well we were treated and handled!

"Jessica is an incredibly passionate and creative personal injury attorney. She goes out of her way to make sure her clients are kept in the loop. Jessica has a stellar reputation in the SoCal personal injury community for obtaining max dollar outcomes for her clients. Unlike many of her peers, Jessica regularly invests in staying current with recent court decisions and trends, and her strategy on cases is always on point as a result. And speaking of strategy and how she handles a case, Jessica spends significant time and energy preparing and executing the game plan - more time preparing puts her in a strong negotiating position, and the results she gets for her clients are proof that her approach works. I turn to Jessica for a second opinion on complex cases. I recommend her without reservation."

"I strongly endorse Jessi Castro. She is an effective attorney. Her thoroughness and eye for detail in handling her cases are certainly assets.
