I hired Castellanos & Associates to defend against a false claim of domestic violence in an effort to get custody for our children. We had a full hearing where the Court heard many witnesses. At the end my Attorney, Edwin Castellanos, was able to show that all the allegation were false. The Court gave me back my children. Without Mr. Castellanos and his staff protecting my interests I would not have been able to get my children. Mr. Castellanos is an excellent Attorney. Without reservation, I completely recommend Castellanos & Associates for any family law needs.

I retained Castellanos & Associates in 2013. I was married for over 24 years. I had thought the case would be simple as we did not have any minor children. My husband had a good job and a pension. However, I was wrong. The case became very toxic. My ex hired a lawyer and wanted to fight about everything we owned, including not wanting to pay support. At one point, he told me that he wanted to leave me with nothing.
Thank god for attorney Edwin Castellanos and his staff. They fought for me and made sure I received everything I was legally entitled to. My case lasted five years because my Husband would not settle and wanted to litigate everything. Mr. Castellanos has a very busy practice and is often in Court, but he explained that to me when I first hired him. I could have gone with another lawyer, but Mr. Castellanos was very patient with me and explained the entire process to me. I never felt that he had something else to do when he was with me.
Even though my husband hired a very aggressive lawyer to intimidate me. I would say his lawyer was a loudmouth. Mr. Castellano's knowledge of family law won over the Judge. I found out through this case that it's not who is louder but smarter. I won my case because of the excellent work and preparation of Castellanos & Associates.
Since my case ended, I have referred Edwin Castellanos to various friends and family, and I heard that they had received the same level of representation that I got.
I wanted to write this review because I want other people going through the same thing I went through to get the best possible legal representation I got. I recommend entirely Castellanos & Associates.

Castellanos and Associates, APLC is a dedicated family law firm. Attorney, Edwin Castellanos, is skilled, hardworking and very caring. Mr. Castellanos helped me through the darkest times of my divorce. He fought very hard for me and I always felt like he had my back through the divorce process. Mr. Castellanos is extremely knowledgeable in family law and he pursued my case with tremendous skill and expertise. Even after my divorce, Mr. Castellanos continues to represent me in several post-dissolution matters. He remains dedicated, honest, patient, and always takes time out to help me understand the issues in my case. Mr. Castellanos will not only be there for you during your divorce, but he will continue to help you with issues that arise after your divorce is completed. I have so much faith in Mr. Castellanos. Thank you so much, Edwin! I would highly recommend Mr. Castellanos and this firm to anyone in need of caring, genuine and skilled legal representation.

Castellanos & Associates represented me in my divorce case. I worked primarily with Edwin Castellanos. His calm and empathetic demeanor throughout the entire process made him a pleasure to work with. I found Edwin to be easily accessible, and he would always respond to me as soon as possible. When he was in Court, I could always count on speaking with another member of his staff that was equally knowledgeable about my case. Castellanos & Associates were professional yet sensitive to the emotions surrounding my divorce. I am thankful to Edwin and his team and appreciate their work, and will certainly recommend his legal services without reservation.

(Translated by Google) My inexperience made me that the lawyer Edwin Castellanos represented me in the family court my situation in the court did not help me in custody of my son in Los Angeles but what he did is take the check x the amount $ 2,600 I feel cheated

Castellanos & Associates is a very professional and knowledgeable family law office. My divorce ended a few years ago, and he still answers my calls whenever I have questions about my case. I never feel like I am imposing. I have referred a few friends, and they have all thanked me for the referral. I am glad to have worked with Mr. Castellanos and his team. I highly recommend Mr. Castellanos as he helped me get the best possible outcome for my case.

I reached out to Castellanos & Associates regarding my divorce. He did helped me at the beginning. Unfortunately, my divorce isn't finalized yet! Issues has been with my ex. Last time I spoke to the office I explained my concerns with my case. I've called and left 3 messages for Mr. Castellanos and Ms. Moreno and no one has returned my calls! If I email I will get charged. Seems like I have to contact the State Bar and have them reach the office directly!

I called Castellanos & Associates for advice on a family law matter that I was going through. I had a lawyer, but he was not providing the level of service that I thought I should get. At first, I thought this firm is different. When I initially called, I was surprised that I got to speak with an attorney right away. It turns out that I was speaking with Mr. Castellanos, and he was very pleasant. I had just called, and he spent at least 20 minutes with me explaining my case and what could be done to fix the issues that I was experiencing.
I was not his client yet, and he devoted a lot of time with me, that impressed me. I decided to schedule a consultation, and I was very impressed with his command of family law. I fired my attorney and hired Castellanos & Associates to handle my case.
I cannot thank Mr. Castellanos and his wonderful staff. I regret every minute that I didn’t hire Mr. Castellanos in the first place. He was patient and provided guidance on how to handle certain situations. The entire staff went above and beyond what any other law firm would do. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs an excellent attorney.

I Highly recommend Castellanos & Associates. They are very professional. Excellent in Court. and I was properly advised on how to handle my case. I live in Colorado and had little guidance on which Law Firm to select for my Family Law case. Castellanos & Associates rose to the task. I would rate 10 stars if I could.

Edwin Castellanos and his staff were great. Mr. Castellanos took over our case under difficult circumstances. Our original attorney did not represent me properly, and it affected the case. I made the difficult decision to switch family law attorneys. From the start of Mr. Castellanos’s representation, I could see the difference. I speak English but am more comfortable in my native language, Spanish. Being able to speak with my attorney in Spanish I think made the difference. In Court, I could explain what I wanted quickly and have my attorney take my concerns into account as he was speaking with the Judge. Mr. Castellanos had integrity and accomplished more in a matter of months than the previous attorney had accomplished in three years. He was professional, honest and direct. Based on how other attorney’s and court staff treated Mr. Castellanos, I knew he was highly respected in the field of divorce law. The change in lawyers resulted in a highly satisfactory outcome. I recommend Castellanos & Associates for any issues involving divorce or child custody.

Unhelpful. Very professional enviornment, however, we felt as racially discriminated. Looked at us as if we couldn't afford a lawyer. He seemed as if he was just bored & didn't even want to take our case. If you are black or hispanic, I don't reccomend this place.!

(Translated by Google) Mr. Edwin Castellanos, I am very grateful for all your legal assistance regarding my case. Thank you for helping me with all my expectations and for the professionalism. Due to his excellent work, the rights of my son and I were protected. His experience in custody and maintenance law allowed him to win my case. Notably, you made a great positive and favorable change in the custody changes in the economic aspect. As a single mother at this time in my life, I give you a thousand thanks for all your excellent help. God bless you.

Edwin Castellanos is very compassionate yet an aggressive attorney during litigation. There was domestic violence in my case and Mr. Castellanos treated me as if I was his only client. I felt that he understood what I had gone through, and wanted to help. The advice and guidance were both excellent and reassuring through this process. My daughter and I appreciate all his hard work and dedication he gave my case. I would definitely recommend Castellanos & Associates. They did excellent work for me and I would definitely come back if I need family law work again. Thanks for everything!

Jeannie, my wife and I want to thank you and the legal team that supports you. You assisting us in this long distance endeavor. It certainly eased the stress of handling this matter ourselves because as you could see we were getting nowhere. Once again we appreciate your time and work to bring this situation to a close. Thank you very much and our best wishes to you and the law firm after handling our case successfully. It took a minute but it was well worth it. The Castellanos and Associates team are number 1 and will be referred to many people. Thank you once again Jeannie. The Craig Family

Castellanos & Associates was very dedicated in helping me with my divorce. I would highly recommend this law firm to anyone in need of a family law attorney. Edwin Castellanos handled my difficult divorce with great skill and tremendous knowledge. Edwin negotiated a wonderful settlement for me, and he made sure he protected all my rights.

I would highly recommend Castellans & Associates APLC to anyone, a very professional team of individuals. I was well represented in a custody case between my daughters mother. Ms. Jeannie Moreno was my attorney and she is definitely an asset to the Castellans & Associates team. They work very diligently to get their customers the desired results!

Super rude people, don't know why anyone would go here. I don't think they undertand the Hispanic community as they are not looking to help them, travesty that they would cater to this group yet not even hear them out.

Castellanos & Associates did an excellent job in my case. Mr. Castellanos and his staff were very responsive and professional at all times. Being able to speak with my attorney in my native language was also a plus since I was able to communicate my concerns and wishes directly to him. I interviewed many other attorneys before I hired Mr. Castellanos. I realized that even though other attorney’s advertise Spanish speaking assistance, I quickly understood that I would only be able to communicate with an assistant or paralegal not the attorney. The outcome of my case was very good, and I was very pleased with the representation. I highly recommend Castellanos & Associates for any family law issues.

I would like to voice my positive experience with my family law attorneys at Castellanos & Associates. Words cannot explain how grateful and satisfied I am with their legal services. It took me three years to realize I was going nowhere with my previous divorce lawyer. I asked a dear friend to recommend a good attorney to take over my divorce case, and he gave me, Castellanos & Associates.

From the minute I walked into their office, and had an initial consultation with Mr. Castellanos, I knew I was in good hands. The family law process is long, stressful, and draining but with help of the experienced attorneys from Castellanos & Associates, the outcome was exactly what I had hoped for. The case was finished without the need for trial, as my attorney’s successfully negotiated a great deal for me. My kids and I are very happy with the results of the case. Family is a priority for me, and the excellent help I was given makes me forever grateful to Edwin Castellanos and his team.

Edwin handled our step-parent adoption case. Edwin was very straight forward and easily accessible. Edwin responded to all of our call and questions. The office is professionally staffed and very helpful. Edwin assisted us through a complex, but joyous time for our family. Our son was aware of the process and we are happy with the entire process. We would definitely recommend his services to anyone needing expert and legal advice.

I hired the law office of Castellanos & Associates, APLC in connection with a divorce. At the time, I was emotionally and legally raw. My first contact at the law firm was with Jackie, a legal assistant, who is friendly, prompt, and reassuring.

Shortly thereafter, I met Attorney, Edwin Castellanos. I immediately found him to be honest and direct about the legal aspects of my case. When it came to discussing legal fees, Mr. Castellanos was fair and quite reasonable about what he would and would not charge me when handling my divorce.

From the beginning, I immediately felt I came to the right place.

Mr. Castellanos was extremely knowledgeable about the law and knew right away what action he needed to take. Mr. Castellanos and his staff kept me informed about the important details of my case and there was no charge for the extra time it took to inform me on the status of my case.

Mr. Castellanos was always straightforward with me about the legal aspects of my case and all of my options. I found Mr. Castellanos to be patient, understanding and reassuring. More importantly, I believe Mr. Castellanos always did what was right to successfully resolve my case.

Dealing with divorce, especially the mediation process was upsetting. However, Mr. Castellanos always kept me calm and focused during the mediation process. In the end, I was pleased with the results and the way that Mr. Castellanos fought for me.

Mr. Castellanos showed me kindness and empathy during a difficult period. When I was concerned about the costs involved with legal representation, Mr. Castellanos was not only reasonable but provided me with options and I am grateful.

If you want a no nonsense approach to successfully resolving your divorce, I would highly recommend Attorney, Edwin Castellanos from the law firm of Castellanos & Associate, APLC.

I hired Castellanos & Associates for my divorce after reading many of the reviews online for this law practice. From the start, Mr. Castellanos was professional and I credit him with helping me finally move on with my life. My divorce case was complicated because it involved dividing property among family members who co-owned property with my wife and I. At times, emotions ran high and prevented the case from settling. Mr. Castellanos was great at helping me through the divorce process. He kept me on tract in spite of the emotions involved even when I was not in the right state of mind to deal with the complex issues involved.
Every time I called the office, Mr. Castellanos or a member of his staff readily answered my questions. This is true even though I would sometimes ask the same question several times. Not once did Mr. Castellanos or his staff make me feel like I was imposing. Because of his legal knowledge and preparation of my case, Mr. Castellanos settled my divorce avoiding the expense of a lengthy trial. While Mr. Castellanos was tough with the other divorce attorney, he was able to achieve a favorable outcome while showing compassion and understanding to me during this very difficult time in my life.

I hired Castellanos & Associates to help me with my divorce. Edwin Castellanos and his staff were very professional and knowledgeable. After nearly two years in litigation, I just finished my case, and I am very happy with the outcome. Mr. Castellanos helped resolve very difficult issues involving visitations and property rights. Whenever I had a question, either Mrs. Castellanos or one of his staff always found time to answer my questions. At times, I felt that I could not get a fair outcome in Court, but Mr. Castellanos fought for my rights. At the conclusion of my case I got what I believe was a fair result. I believe my son will be the beneficiary of the hard work that Mr. Castellanos and his staff put into my case. If you have a family law or divorce case, I wholeheartedly recommend Castellanos & Associate.

Mr. Edwin Castellanos is the only lawyer to produce results on my divorce case after more than 12 years of trying to get my ex-husband to Court and 6 lawyers trying to get payments for myself and my disabled daughter. I am now getting my money from my ex-husband and I am so happy. Mr. Castellanos was very patient and understanding to my plight. Even when I had to go back home, which is thousands of miles from California, he always managed to work hard for me and we continuously communicated via email. Not once did he drop my case because of the distance. Edwin Castellanos is my lawyer in California and I never intend to change him for another lawyer.

I had the pleasure of working with Los Angeles divorce lawyer, Edwin Castellanos and the family attorneys at Castellanos & Associates, APLC.

I was facing a difficult child custody dispute involving my spouse during our divorce. In an effort to gain what he thought would be a more favorable custody decision, my spouse and his divorce attorney fought hard to move our divorce from Los Angeles to Orange County. They tried to do this even though we were living in the Los Angeles area. This was a stressful and terrible situation, and Mr. Castellanos provided me with straight forward, reasonable advice on how to go forward with my family law case. Mr. Castellanos was not only able to keep my case in Los Angeles, but my spouse’s attempt at gaining custody failed. I am delighted and grateful to Mr. Castellanos and his family law attorneys for the results they were able to achieve on my behalf.

I can wholeheartedly recommend Edwin for any serious family law issue you may be facing. His staff is equally competent and compassionate. Thank you again Mr. Castellanos!

My experience with the Law office of Castellanos Family Law, was professional and beyond exceptional.
I made the mistake of defending myself..then needed legal help to bail me out ( never make this mistake ).
Attorney Edwin Castellanos knowledge of the law and legal proceedings was profound and led to a satisfactory divorce settlement without him I'm sure the court would have stripped me to the bone.

If you are considering legal representation, I strongly recommend the Law firm of Castellanos Family Law!
Divorce was finalized 7/11/2013

Wonderful team. Edwin was there to answer any questions in regards to my adoption. If he wasn't available Jackie would make sure my message was sent to Edwin or she helped answer it. Adoption was finalized 04/24/13 and Edwin was there to help with everything. We never felt like we were going through the adoption process alone. Great Family law firm would highly recommend.
