I was charged with menacing because of a confrontation I had with a cyclist (non-physical) who was threatening me. I threatened him back by pulling out a knife that I kept in my car for precisely such incidents. He called the cops and it was his word vs. mine. Because I had brandished the knife I was... charged and he was not. After I was processed, the next day I called Mr Castleberry. He was very professional and well-informed on case law for menacing in Oregon for first time offenders like myself. he laid out how he thought the process would go. Basically, I would probably have to settle with the victim for a agreed-upon amount of money and the charges would likely be dismissed without a trial. After the settlement was completed, that is exactly what happened and I was very satisfied with the result. I am now working with him to get my records sealed and expunged. This was a very agonizing process for me as I had never been arrested or charged with anything before this. Mr. Castleberry and his partner Emily Elison made this process a LOT easier by being very reassuring and informative about what needed to happen and when. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone facing a menacing charge or other criminal charges.

I have worked with many different lawyers in my day and I have to say Pete stands out as the best. He went WAY above and beyond for me, was very responsive and most importantly resolved my issue painlessly. This guy is worth his weight in gold. If you are in need of a lawyer in his practice areas HIR...E THIS GUY, HE IS THE BEST.

Pete handled my case with utmost care and professionalism. From my initial retaining of him, he was diligently on the case and maintained constant contact throughout. He explained every word of legalese in all documents and told me exactly what to expect at my court hearings so that there would be no... curve balls. Above all, Pete is compassionate and listened to everything I had to say; he was reassuring while being realistic. While I hope I don't have to be in a situation to recommend Pete's legal services, I would do so readily. He is a thorough, communicative and caring attorney.

Better than any court appointed attorney. He set me up for success, and helped any way possible. I retained him a month or so into the trial process, and it made a huge difference. He helped me get into treatment, and made a huge difference in the outcome of the sentence. He kept me out of trouble, d...uring the ordeal, as well as in any future incidences with just a little advice. Amazing results to say the least. I was looking at 4 felonies and several misdemeanors. I emerged with probation, treatment, and none of the felonies are going to be on my record. Definitely worth having in your arsenal in any case.

My case didn't seem so involved when Pete and I started. I had been dealing with incapable legal represenatation prior. Pete stepped in and my case turned into a large bundle of emotions, fear, and legal ups and downs, it was a very complicated situation. Pete remained constant, supportive and a stro...nghold during this case. To make matters worse I was in custody for the first time. The best possible results came of my case but whatever would've happened I still would feel the same way and will always most highly recommend Mr. Pete Castleberry.
