Peter Castleberry knows how to interact with the Oregon criminal justice system. I made a few poor choices at a Strip Club one evening and found myself in jail. After a friend referred me, I contacted Peter Castleberry and after briefing him on the stituation retained him to represent me in this matt...er. He wasted no time engaging the necessary resources to get available evidence and began discussions with the other parties. His knowledge of how things work in criminal matters was key in securing a favorable result. He was able to talk with all parties to resolve the matter without a conviction. He followed up afterward to ensure the record was sealed. I feel that I was wel served and would recommend Peter without hesitation.

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.
