Intelligent, Kind, and Patient - All the Makings of a Great Attorney!

If you are looking for an attorney who only represents tenants -- and represents them WELL -- you HAVE to go with Mr. Castellanet. He is extremely well versed in UD/eviction matters and is great at negotiating favorable settlements for his clients. He helped me through a tough situation and did so wi...th kindness and patience. He explains things extremely well, making this difficult process more digestible. If I could give 10 stars, I would. Thank you, Mr. Castellanet and team!

Great experience with the attorney & office

I had kind of a complex UD case. I kept looking for the right law office to take it on. I saw Mark S. Martinez In Santa Ana CA. It has a lot of good reviews. I was paired up with attorney Mark J. Castellanet. During the case > Opposing counsel played a lot of phone tag with my attorney and it was ve...ry bothersome and stressful as weeks went by. With my efforts as a client & Mark J. Castellanet we prevailed through and he worked out my case with the *best outcome possible and the apartment complex was able to AVOID a possible 250k lawsuit filed against them for discrimination and favoritism. If in case they tried to file a UD against me for unjust reasons and false police reporting. I highly recommend attorney Mark J. Castellanet he's on point gets things done right and his office is proactive with clients. But you as a client yourself also have to put in your part to make everything happen as well !! I will now put at the *top of my list to *refer to my large Network this office and this attorney Thank you so much for *ALL your efforts Mark J. Castellanet and your office. By the way on a side note I have no idea what that bad review from that *James is cause he put the review on the wrong attorney and that's not fair so please understand when people make mistakes like he did putting bad reviews on the wrong people. I'm in level 6 Google Maps review critic (id PEOPLES VOICE ) and I see that happens sometimes. Not cool.

Very patient and well-reasoned

Attorney Castellanett is extremely patient. He answers questions, discusses details, and explains the complex legal world in a way that is reassuring and avoids adding stress and pressure to already challenging situations. He does not promise outlandish outcomes, but helps you to understand the situa...tion and choose the best possible course of action. Truly an advocate in the best possible sense.

Special Thank You

I would like to thank you for all of your help in my case. The consultation was great and perfect for what I needed. Here I thought I was prepared, but you took the time to explain in detail what I was up against. Every question I had was responded with great explanation. I left this consultation ...with clear understanding and for that I am thankful Mark.

Unqualified and Clueless

What a waste of time and energy. I should have known better when I saw this guy's "law office" was next to a nail salon. It was unbelievably unprofessional. I felt like I was in an episode of "Better Call Saul" when I searched for an employment lawyer in the area. After meeting with this "lawyer" I l...eft more confused about what he could or couldn't do for me in my pending employment case. My "consultation" felt like nothing more than a shake down in desperation to get me to hire him. The entire meeting he was constantly bringing up new angles not even relevant to my case to see what I might agree to in order to make him sound hirable but never explained what he would actually do for my case, he only said that I needed representation, and for that representation to be him. I already knew I needed representation which is why I called a lawyer. I only called him because he's close to my home. The best thing he did provide was the contrast between a competent and knowledgable attorney and someone trying to fake it until they make it. When I left I actually went on the State Bar website to check to see if he was an actual lawyer or was I being tricked on a hidden video show. Don't even waste your time.

I am sorry you cannot recommend my services. However I have never had a physical law office of my own so I am not certain how you met me at my law office. Further at the time of your review I had never actually met a client in person as the firms I worked for were completely virtual. Is it possible you have confused me with another attorney?
