Welcome to my Avvo profile. I was licensed to practice law in New Jersey for nearly 30 years, and I've been actively licensed in Florida for about 25 years. I was born and raised in the Philadelphia area, and am a 1987 graduate of the Temple University Beasley School of Law in Philadelphia. Before that, I earned a BA in psychology and an MBA in economics/finance, both from Temple University. Following law school, I was a New Jersey State Criminal Prosecutor (Financial Crimes Unit) and Florida Assistant Attorney General (Tampa Economic Crime Unit). I am licensed to practice law in all of Florida's state and Federal courts.

Eugene P. Castagliuolo is one of only a handful of folks nationwide who belong to the prestigious National Association of Consumer Advocates (NACA). I often sit in amazement when I listen to him talk about consumer protection. He's a dedicated advocate. Loves his job and does a great job at it! Whether you are in the Tampa Bay area or anywhere else in FL that Mr. Castabliuolo practices, you could not find a harder working, more concerned attorney to be on your side.

I endorse Mr. Castagliuolo without hesitation. Mr. Castagliuolo has been practicing law for over 25 years and it is obvious that he has gathered a great deal of legal expertise during this time. Mr. Castagliuolo maintains an active consumer practice where he aggressively fights for the rights of individual consumers against well funded and well staffed large corporations. Mr. Castagliuolo is also an active member of Avvo, where he takes significant time from his busy schedule to respond to legal questions posted by the community free of charge; his answers are always accurate and well thought out. Additionally, Mr. Castagliuolo belongs to the National Association of Consumer Advocates where he is an active member providing advice to other attorneys practicing in the consumer law field. Consumers across the state of Florida and in New Jersey are very fortunate to have him available should they need legal advice or representation in a consumer matter.
