Joseph D Castagno's Lawyer Endorsements
"I have had the pleasure of working with Joseph on a number of matters. His knowledge and experience is unparalleled. There is a reason his name carries such high regard in the family law community."
"Joe and I have worked as co-counsel on numerous family law cases. His experience and wisdom is invaluable."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I gladly endorse this lawyer. I have had cases in opposition with Joe and each time I found him to be a formidable opponent, yet courteous, professional and of high integrity. He is a quality attorney and a gentleman."
"I endorse this lawyer. Joseph Castagno is an experienced family law lawyer. The representation of his clients is tempered with good judgment and fairness."
"I have known Joe Castagno for over 20 years and have opposed him on a few cases during that time. It has always been a pleasure working with Joe as he is always well prepared and well versed in the law. Joe takes a reasonable approach to his cases and vigorously represents his clients. If I had a family law matter, I would not hesitate to hire Joe."
"Joseph D. Castagno is an elite family law attorney in Orange County. I had the pleasure of co-chairing two separate family law trials with Mr. Castagno. His 29 years of experience as an attorney was evident from the moment he set foot in the court rooms. He had a thorough understanding of the facts of the case, his grasp of evidentiary objections was clear, his demeanor in the court room was excellent, and he had total control over the proceeding before him. What’s more it was clear the judges respected him. Needles to say we won both trials and even obtained an order from the Court requiring the other party to repay our client's attorney fees. Joe has now become a trusted colleague and our office often turns to him when we need his family law expertise."
