Toni Castaneda is the best family law attorney

Toni helped our family with a very difficult child custody case. We were very comfortable with her the minute we met her. She was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and efficient. She presented our side very well and won our case.

Aggressive, knowledgeable attorney with a heart

I was referred to Toni by the Bar Association, when I was utterly frustrated by the previous three - supposedly some of the best in town - attorneys, losing custody of my son, and completely broke. Toni picked up my case in the middle of a very messy divorce and custody battle. That's when my case t...urned around. She was the first one to competently and firmly stand up to the opposing attorney whom everyone in the Seattle judicial system knows as an unscrupulous bully. Toni brought a personal touch to my case, and I felt protected and stronger for the first time. I could tell she was thinking of me as a person and truly took my situation to heart, trying to help any way she could. To top it all off, she charged a truly reasonable fee, taking into account my dire situation. In the end, the divorce and custody settlement gave me everything I needed. There were other factors that helped my case, but I couldn't have done it without Toni. Thanks, Toni!

If your looking for a family law attorney who cares about you and your case stop looking. Toni is the best in Seattle!!!

Toni has been my attorney since 10-2001. I had a very complicated divorce with children. My ex-husband did everything he could to make me out to be an unfit mother. In that year, my ex went through 3 lawyers. Toni was my one and only. She was fabulous!!! My divorce was final in 10-2002. About ...5 years later, my ex tried to get custody of my children by making false accusations. In the end, after 1 1/2 years, 11 day trial, dealing with police detectives in two counties, polygraph tests and numerous witnesses. The lyes didin't work and Toni did her magic again. She is very devoted, straight forward and more importantly, honest. She will not waste your time or hers. It is not about the money for her, rather the justice. I would recommend her (and often do) to anyone who is in need of a family law attorney. You will never find a more hard working attorney who is working for you. I don't know what more to say. She has been my attorney for 6 1/2 years and I plan on keeping her!!
