My response to Erick. If you guys are only taking current cases then you could have at least let me know from the beginning when i first reached out month November. Let me also be clear, I've reached out since last week with multiple calls. cYesterday was my 4th attempt for a follow up with no return calls til i made that last attempt. Don't make it seem like i'm lying. It is so frustrating that you could have at least be honest from the get go and not feed your clients with false hope. It wouldn't have to result to this! I could have save my time and yours! read more

This entire experience was truly exceptional. Although it took some time, it is clear that good things are worth the wait. The staff's dedication is remarkable. Their professionalism and expertise are impressive. Thank you very much, Eric, for all that you do for others. read more

Quick and honest response. Appreciate the guidance and prompt response. Your recommendation help achieve my goal.

Called and i received a callback same day. My case is a tenant/landlord dispute and Castelblanco informed me that they only work on pest related tenant disputes; therefore, we never discussed the details of my case as it isn't pest related. After reading other yelp reviews, I'm disappointed as it appears Castelblanco considered/assisted other tenant/landlord disputes not involving pest. I'm not sure why they mentioned they only deal with cases involving pests, but.. This was my experience. Fortunately, I also spoke with a San Francisco base/Los Angeles branch firm. The legal assistant took the details of my case on the first call. They passed the info onto an attorney to determine if they could assist. I was contacted the same day to schedule a consult with the attorney. Glad their scope of tenant law expertise surpasses the scope of bed bugs! Will post a review about my experience with that firm once finalized. --- Response to Eric: I'd suggest updating your website to feature pest infestation. My issue is a under the title "Slum Lord" as a specific bullet point you list. I wouldn't have contacted you had I known you don't take those cases. Your office was the first firm I contacted early this morning. I left my information. After no word, I contacted another office just before noon as a precaution/backup. This 2nd firm took the details of my case during my first call and contacted me back to schedule an appointment before your firm ever called me back. Of course, it's your choice on how you handle potential cases. I would just recommend highlighting that your firm now is focused on tenant disputes related to pest control in order to not waste people's time. read more

I was extremely satisfied with Castelblanco Law Group. Eric's response was very timely. I'm a tenant and I needed advice regarding the recent high rent increase I rreceived from my landlord. I also needed a professional in this field to inform me about my tenant rights, as well as provide me with information about the newly signed rent control law and how this will affect us tenants. Eric Castelblanco cordially answered all my question, I would highly recommend his services. read more

They came with a very high recommendation. Due to my circumstances (I'm a homeowner - fighting with Wells Fargo on Fraudclosure) and they only represent tenants (no conflict of interests there) - I was not able to retain this firm. However, the interaction with them was very professional and courteous. Due to the fact that eviction was so easily done in Los Angeles, we need a firm like this - that treats each individual with respect. Good luck with your cases - and don't quit till you win. read more

Wonderful people doing a great job I thought at first they were only pretending to care but they proved me wrong.... Eric seems to be genuinely concerned with his clients well-being. I generally don't like lawyers but Eric is the exception, he has integrity.... read more

I recently had some legal questions and Eric provided excellent service! He called me within half an hour or less on a Saturday to provide a free legal consultation. I was never once spoken down to because I am not familiar with the legal process for my situation. Eric was patient and gave me excellent tools for solving my issue. Highly recommend! read more

Eric is professional and takes his time to listen to his clients. I would recommend his business because he is attentive and gives accurate advice. I needed someone to help me with issues pertaining to my rental, he gave me valuable feedback and has been attentive to my questions. I trust him and will refer him to my friend's and family. read more

I worked with Catalina, who was so knowledgeable and such a fighter. She took the time to get to know me and my family and fight for us. I'm so grateful! read more

"No stones unturned" There are no words to describe the hard work by Mr. Castelblanco and his associates. In the name of justice, they turn every stone to seek justice for the tenants and fight diligently only for tenants. If you are a tenant, there are laws to protect you from sub-standard conditions that can lead to unforeseeable health problems. If you are hesitant, just look at other honest reviews where they are satisfied and overjoyed with the outcomes. Just remember, every tenants are protected under law and Mr. Castelblanco and his associates are here to guide and fight for your rights! read more

I spoke with the attorney Mendosa and he gave me such great advice. I highly recommend this law firm.

Greatest place to come if you every need help. Most friendly/ reliable Law firm that you will over come across.

Castelblanco and his staff were phenomenal, they kept me informed of any new details to my case in a timely manner. If I had any questions they were always so eager to answer them. I am so grateful for this firm and all they do within our community. Thank you CastelBlanco Law Group. read more

I called for help w/another typical LACounty landlord/tenant issue. (Rat infestation inside his abandoned spiderwebbed truck in the front yard [4 yrs aband], just feet from my front door & directly across the street from a Sherman Oaks Elementary school, amongst many other things.). Quickly to the point: This firm handles "mostly" (I really believe, ONLY) bigger $$ class-action size cases SPECIFICALLY involving multi-dwelling complexes (Not single-fam rentals) where CHILDREN have been exposed to LEAD. (Whether I liked this kinda modern-day ambulance chaser biz or not, I appreciated their blunt honesty.) If this is not your EXACT prob, dont waste the 48 hours I did (great reviews/videos -elsewhere), or even 1 min. Cont.. Receptionist: "Someone'll call you back...". They do. A gentleman calls (next day) who's NOT the lawyer (strange..?) nor a lawyer (I asked) as a sort-of spokesperson for the company. After learning I don't have a lead poisoned child w/friends in same a my complex who also do, he told me a few disturbing facts about the issue and did so in a way, that if he didn't, they'd be in trouble or I don't know...?? My point is it felt like he had to tell me stats about lead poison. He ended our call by offering a consultation w/a lawyer anyway, whom you already know is NEVER taking your case, for paid advice. 5 Stars for being that smooth. -2 Stars for wasting all our time. read more

Thank you to castelblanco for helping my family and I, Many landlords and realty companies take advantage of renters that have little knowledge about the law concerning a renters rights. We highly recommend them, they're the best out there read more

I want to say the service provided to me was above expectation. Castelblanco Law Group have extended service hours which align with anyone's busy work schedule. The person who attended me on the phone was very helpful answered all of my questions for my upcoming hearing. Well knowledgable in his field but he gave me hope. read more

It was great consultation about my tenant/landlord dispute. Very knowledgeable and professional lawyer with attention to details.

Mr Castelblanco truly cares and is a great attorney! I received plenty of insight with this Law firm recently, and enjoyed listening to Mr Castelblanco fight for his clients. You definitely cannot go wrong with choosing this law firm to represent you. They are accurate, reasonable, and fearless. If you are struggling with finding a good representation for your case, don't hesitate to contact this facility! The money you spend will be well worth your trial/case. If you have questions regarding housing/eviction/inhabitable conditions/discriminations? then look no further! I just want to thank these kind people for allowing me to be further educated on housing equality and my rights! read more

Whoo! Talk about a quick recovery. The owner of this law firm called me back in less than 24 hours after I posted my review. Now that is someone interested in correcting any sort of problems. To be clear from my initial review, I was seeking a free consultation, in no way did Castelblanco state that they offered free consultative services (hey, who doesn't like free stuff?) I still stand behind my entire experience but Eric shared with me that they are a family business interested in helping the community. He was very shocked to hear that I had such a terrible experience and wanted to take it as a teaching moment for his staff. I was honored to be a part of this teaching moment. He wanted my feedback to better his interactions with new clients. We had to have been on the phone for about 15 minutes. I told him the reason I really wanted to do business with his firm was due to all of the positive community work shown on his website. Eric Castelblanco prides himself on putting his LA community at the forefront of his practice. He has always wanted his practice to provide a safe, nurturing environment for tenants and he claims to never represent landlords as long as he's in practice. He really saved the day here. While I did not go into business with Castelblanco Law Group, I will be happy to return in the future should a need arise. Thanks for taking the time to correct the situation. read more

I got a job in LA in the "Industry" (Movies), and I needed a place to live quickly. I moved into this secondary unit. (mother in-law unit) that was carved out below the owner/landlord's house. The rent was cheap and the utilities were included so I took the place. Three months into living there, the owner asks me to pay my portion of the utilities because I was using more energy than he expected. The apartment does not have a heater and I was using a space heater to heat the entire two-bedroom apartment. One quick letter from Castelblanco Law Group, and the issue was solved. The letter that was written was affordable and professional. In fact, I think that the owner/landlord is scared of me now. I mean, who wants to be sued? A few months have passed and I am now living in peace. I am so grateful for the resources and advice from the attorney's there. It was totally worth the money I spent on this. If I had to move out, it would have cost much more than I invested into this advice and letter. I will definatly keep them in mind if something else comes up in the future. With this Landlord, I'm sure something will. I feel better knowing I have these attorneys on my side. read more

Eric Castelblanco is a very good lawyer who understands why people need his help. If you are facing landlord tenant issues such as eviction or poor living conditions you will find Eric and his staff extremely helpful. read more

Eric took 20 minutes over the phone to discuss my case. Although he said it wasn't a case he would typically take on, I appreciated his thoughtfulness to my questions, time listening, and honesty with regards to our scenario and what to expect. read more

I contacted the Castelblano Law Group regarding an issue with the house I'm currently renting in Toluca Lake. Eric patiently listened to me while I recounted the last 3 months of issues with regards to the house's habitability, and was calm through my rising anxiety about the matter. He advised us on the best course of action as well as what to include in the notification to our landlord regarding our lease. Our landlord has just written back, and will be walking us through at the end of the month. Eric's advice came with the $200 consultation free, but I find it worth the peace of mind. read more

Where can I start, THE BEST law firm if you are someone who likes to be cared for. They truly just want what's best for the clients, I called thinking I had no where to turn to anymore to get to my landlord but Jesus Mendoza called me back and made me feel so much more calm by helping me understand the situation better than my manager, it feels surreal in situations like this when you meet genuine because everyone else didn't want to deal with me. Not only did I leave this place with a solution but peace of mind and joy Thank you so much to Jesus for that ! - Helen Rivera read more

I simply cannot thank enough to the Castelblanco Law Group, they helped my family and I very much with a case we had regarding our landlord.

Mr. Castelblanco and his associates are very patient and great at their jobs, they all worked tirelessly and very efficiently on our case. We are so happy with our results. They will make sure that their clients are treated with respect and also with fairness. Even if it takes years, it is very much worth it working with the Castelblanco Law Group and you should definitely consider them if you have any lawsuit issues, they work with you and will give you the results you need! Thank you so much to Mr. Castelblanco and his attorneys, I cannot express how happy I am to have worked with you all. Jocelyn Trejo read more

Mr. Castelblanco and his Law Group were very professional. My family use to live in an apartment complex that was not well maintained and invaded by bugs. Mr. Castelblanco went above and beyond by informing my family of the steps we needed to take during the case. He helped my family Win the case against the landlord of the apartment complex we use to live at. We are forever grateful for his time and efforts. If you are looking for a great Lawyer, he is definitely the one. read more

The service was wonderful. All the attorneys were very helpful and I really felt like I had their undivided attention. Very knowledgeable and I could not recommend them more! read more

This guy knows what his doing! I would recomend him in a snap of fingers, and have. I had moved in to a building in 2008 and it was not in the best conditions. The building Manager at that time stated he would fix it all up before I moved in, though that never happened, even after numerous requests. The apartment was infested with bugs, and not to mention the condition of that apartment. My children were inhaling ashes from a previous fire in that unit, in which it was just mickey-mouse patched. There were rats in the building and the Managers were being sneaky about stuff. Long story short he got me all my year's worth of rent payments back and more, and my children got there share too. It was a very plesant experience to have met this law firm, and it's staff. Great lawyer, and the place is very welcoming. Don't trust my words...? Then give it a try and see for yourself. read more

Based on the Yelp reviews, I sought assistance from the Castelblanco law group for an unusual case I was having with my landlord. My family and I were caught by surprise when we received an Unlawful Detainer form since as far as we know, we have no issues with our landlord whatsoever. Ms. Juanita worked on the case thoroughly and provided regular updates. It was very comforting as the other law firms I called were not very professional and tactful in the way they communicate. I trusted Ms. Juanita and the rest of her team to handle our case to get a fair judgement and they delivered, as the judge dismissed the landlord's case against us. If you want a law firm that delivers great service, is thorough in all of their work and does it professionally. The Castelblanco law group is the way to go. read more

Our landlord would never make repairs or fumigate! Only time he'd pop up was when rent was due. Most of the tenants joined forces and went to see Castelblanco Law Group. They were super nice, gave us supplies we needed FREE Of charge!! We paid nothing out of pocket and got a great settlement. I'd recommend Castelblanco Law Group to anyone living in poor conditions/neglect. Vanessa and Natalie always kept us up to date with meetings. I didn't have to hunt them down, overall a great experience! read more

Best lawyer took time but it was worth the wait thank you Eric. Won the case vs my previous landlords

Never thought I'd be writing a review for a law firm, but this firm really impressed me. My landlord of seven years has been slowly pushing the envelope with me so I decided it was time to figure out my rights. The person on the phone assured me I'd walk away knowing exactly what to do. I was skeptical, but thought, what the heck. Went in last week, and I'm so glad I did. The attorney who met with me walked me through every option, pro/con, etc., and patiently answered all my questions. No up sell, no double speak....just straight forward and knowledgeable info. Hope I don't need them again, but if I do, I'll absolutely be back. read more

Eric called me about a situation I was having with my landlord. He took his time to listen to me, was kind, and thoughtful in his responses. He had a great understanding of how it feels to be a tenant, particularly a female tenant, in an uncomfortable situation and was reassuring to me. While ultimately he did not feel there was an actionable case at this point, he still gave me great advice about how to handle things going forward and I would recommend him for anyone struggling with a difficult landlord situation. read more

When I first walked in their office, I recieved a warm welcome. I didn't know what to do, I was so scared, I felt so helpless. The castelblanco law group knew exactly what steps we needed to take in order to fix my problem. They are honest and efficient. I'm so glad I hired them, justice was served, and yes they got me the money! read more
