When my son got in trouble in Portland over spring break, I was 2000 miles away. The charges against him were serious. He was a senior in college and I was scared to death the repercussions were going to ruin his future. I searched online and made several phone calls to other attorneys and read so ma...ny reviews on attorneys. In this situation, I wanted to pick the best, but I was unsure whether I could trust the reviews. Some of the attorneys made me even more scared. Peter Castleberry was so different, he calmed me down and assured me he would make everything alright. One year later, I am happy to say he did exactly what he promised. Do not hesitate to use his services if you find yourself in the unfortunate situation to need them.

I found Pete to be very knowledgeable, easy to talk to, kind and felt that he would give me the best representation that I deserve and expect. When I was looking for a attorney, Pete was the first one to actively try to help me, do to the short time element I had to work with, when I was contacting a...ttorney's for representation. I very much appreciated this, as I'd never been in this situation before and didn't know what to do. Pete was very kind and led me through all the steps that we would have to go through. Pete made it as easy on me as possible as I lived out of Town. I would whole heartidly recommend Pete to anyone and will If a friend every needs a attorney in Portland, Oregon.

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.

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.

Pete Castleberry represented me on a DUII with a Reckless Driving charge. I couldn't have hoped for a better outcome, and the piece of mind he and Emily Elison afforded me throughout the process was invaluable. Even their user-friendly website is the very best out there, offering a wealth of candid i...nformation. I can't tell you how many times I'd be searching the internet for information on Oregon's DUII laws, the diversion process, UA's, license hearings, etc., and about 80% of the time I would find myself routed back to my own attorney's website for whatever info or advice I was searching for! Pete ensured that my charges would be dropped, my license did not get suspended, and he was always available whenever I had a question or concern. Before I walked into Pete's office I was experiencing incredible shame and anxiety…when I walked out I felt as if I had a partner, a proponent and a plan. He made a very difficult and scary situation as simple and painless as it could possibly be.
