Mr. Castro is an attorney who prides himself on advocating aggressively on behalf of all clients. Having been recognized as a top tier attorney by Super Lawyers (Rising Star, 2019-2020) and Lawyers of Distinction, Mr. Castro started his own practice to represent members of communities with poor access to critical services. To that end, it is Mr. Castro's chief goal to effect change for his clients in the areas of business litigation, personal injury, family law, and trust and estates law. In those personal injury cases, he has extensive experience in matters involving catastrophic injury, wrongful death, auto accidents, pedestrian/bicycle accidents, dog bites, dangerous property condition, premises liability, slip and fall, trip and fall, insurance bad faith, government tort claims, construction site accidents, on the water injuries, and defective products/products liability claims. In matters of business litigation, Mr. Castro has experience with matters involving breach of contract, tortious interference with contracts or business relationships, business partner disputes, real estate disputes (including both residential or commercial real estate), business entity formation, contract review, breach of fiduciary duty, and other matters arising from the day-to-day operations of running a business. As for matters involving family law, Mr. Castro handles matters requiring financial and property division concerns, child custody disputes, child support, modifications of family law orders, enforcement of family law orders, and document preparation/review. Mr. Castro also helps his clients plan for the efficient and effective transfer of assets to spouses, to younger generation family members, to other persons clients wish to benefit, and to charities. Mr. Castro's trust and estate practice involves the preparation of trust agreements, wills, powers of attorney, medical directives, and closely held business structures, including partnerships, limited liability companies, and corporations. Mr. Castro graduated from Florida Coastal School of Law in 2013 and he is admitted to practice before all the courts in the State of California including the Eastern, Northern, Southern, and Central Districts of the United States District Courts of California. Mr. Castro firmly believes the key to securing a favorable result for all his clients is by exercising the highest degree of diligence and perseverance. Mr. Castro takes each case personally and always strives to obtain the best possible results for each client. During his spare time, Mr. Castro enjoys spending time with his family, traveling, wine tasting, and volunteering in any activity that benefits children. He served as a Guardian Ad Litem for the Florida Guardian Ad Litem Program in Jacksonville, Florida. He also coaches youth sports and most recently coached his son's baseball team in Rocklin Little League.
