I held the mortgage when I sold our old house. When I had a problem with getting the monthly…read morepayments on the house, I went looking for a law firm specializing in real estate. Based on reviews, I pcked Brei-Castillo. Justin Castillo has been wonderful. I nearly broke down crying when I went to his office. But he reassured me and started work immediately. The problem has been resolved and I can stop worrying. Justin is a great lawyer, knowledgeable and caring. I recommend him and his firm to anyone who needs a real estate lawyer.

I hired Mr. Castillo in June to represent me. He successfully completed sending a demand letter and…read morecreating a draft complaint at the cost of $3500. In Sept, I was expecting an updated draft complaint with edits I had sent to him. Instead of contacting me regarding my updates to the complaint; Mr. Castillo instead contacted the city I live in for documents I had already supplied his office in June. He then, using the same documents, claimed my case was weak and said he wanted to change my complaint. However, the email and letter he sent gave no indication about how he wanted to change my complaint, nor did he provide me the updated draft copy I had been waiting 10 days for. He did provide a photograph of one side (there are two) of an inspection record which he called a 'document' in later correspondence with me. Another document that he alluded to in his Sept email I didn't receive until 4 Dec; It took leaving 2 reviews and 3 more emails to his office. His reasoning for not providing the document sooner was I told him to "standby." However, he alluded to this document on 10 Sept and I told him to standby on 24 Sept. Now I'm told that document was "inadvertently not included" in his 10 Sept email to me. When I received September's Invoice, I was charged again for "reviewing" documents- including the ones he had already received from me. I first asked him about the billing and the fact that he had not provided me any additional documents than what I already had received from the city. When Mr. Castillo responded to my initial questions he did not provide the documents, nor did he elaborate on how he wanted to change my complaint. I tried again to point out to Mr. Castillo that, a photograph is not a document and the secondly I did not receive the missing document, I believe it is My directness in conversing with Mr Castillo that caused him to decide "this relationship isn't working out" and quit, in an email, on Wednesday before Thanksgiving at 330 PM. In that email he offered to "refund" me $700 for the work he did relating to the city's documents. I believe this was offered because I have a valid Arizona Bar complaint for over-billing and abandoning a client. However, in order to receive my retainer and refund I will need to make the 4-hour round trip drive to his office since he won't mail it- but his office encouraged me to mail-in rather than drive up my last deposit? Overall, the majority of my costs were incurred though correspondence with Mr. Castillo with little actual work on my case. I am dissatisfied with the lack of communication from Mr. Castillo regarding his desire to change my complaint without any clarity about how he wanted to change it until the email where he quit. I was also informed by Mr Castillo he will sue me if I do not remove my review; claiming it's defamatory. In order to protect myself and freely express my unhappiness regarding Mr. Castillo's professional performance I edited this review. I received a second correspondence from Mr. Castillo regarding my previous yelp and google reviews. Considering I have nothing positive to say about Mr. Castillos handling of my case, I am not surprised he is unhappy with my review. Now, I believe he is trying to intimidate me by threatening a lawsuit. However, my perception of my professional interactions with Mr. Castillo is not defamation. He failed to perform his duties to my expectations. I've said nothing of his personal character, only my personal disappointment with the service he provided. Since Mr. Castillo is sending private correspondence directly to me regarding these reviews, instead of addressing them publicly leads me to believe that he has used the same threats and intimidation in the past to have negative reviews removed. I received an email from an attorney's office claiming to represent Mr. Castillo with a demand letter stating that he is going to file lawsuit on 16 December if I do not remove my review- free speech is not illegal and Ive stated nothing false. Also, it's been three weeks since he QUIT ON ME- and the $10,000 I deposited for retainer has not been refunded to me.

He was well qualified, very knowledgable, a great trial attorney, and very responsive to our calls and emails. We highly recommend him. However, on the downside, this firm is extremely expensive, constantly raised the hourly billing rate (as soon as 30 days after signing a retainer agreement!) and seemed to have no consideration as to how much the matter was costing us. We were very clear up front as to the value of the property in litigation and as to what we could afford yet still, we wound up spending $250,000 in litigation over a property with $160,000 in equity.

Mr. Chase came recommended to me. I found myself in the middle of HUGE mess criminally, facing…read moretwelve (12!) felony charges for growing marijuana and for firearms possession. Originally facing possession of six pounds, Mr. Chase challenged the city's evidence procedures and after discovering red flags, he had an independent auditor repeat the process of how the detectives calculated the six pounds. Lo and behold, it was determined by the Judge that the auditors conclusion was correct and the final amount was reduced from six pounds down to 1.9 pounds! Anything over two pounds carried mandatory penalties, so the new amount was FANTASTIC! After some self evaluation of realizing and accepting that it was my own choices that had me in this situation in the first place and that what I did (I was growing marijuana, after all) was against the law, it was Mr. Chase's experience and savvy that kept the City from pursuing false escalated charges and the possibility of many more years of incarceration (possession /distribution of 6 lbs. versus possession of 1.9 lbs.). AN IMPORTANT NOTE: I OVERLOOKED THAT I had a previous felony conviction from 10 years earlier that prohibited me from possessing a firearm. I had mistakenly believed that when my civil rights were restored on that felony conviction that my firearm rights were also restored. Hence, why I had a handgun. Turned out, it is a seperate process to restore second amendment rights to bear arms. BOTTOM LINE: As a prohibited firearms possessor due to a prior felony conviction, Mr. Chase was able to: get the 12 felony charges reduced to two got the possession of 6 lbs. reduced to 1.9 lbs. by challenging the City's evidence process got me no jail time, despite prior felony conviction got me two years probation, which turned out to be only one year. I am a straight, happily divorced man, but I never wanted to kiss a man like I did Mr. Chase that day in court! I highly recommend the approach, the mind, the dedicated effort and the resources of Mr. Chase. You owe it to yourself to interview Mr. Chase when choosing who is defending your freedom. Sincerely, Stephen M.

When I articulated my concerns regarding the lack of support, the attorney responded with aggression. This firm's conduct left me feeling isolated, unprotected, victimized, and entirely vulnerable. I strongly advise against entrusting your legal matters to this firm. They are prepared to accept your financial resources but do not anticipate receiving protection, counsel, or compassionate treatment; they demonstrate NO concern for your circumstances. I would rate them -0 if this was an option. In addition, based on the firm's public responses to other dissatisfied clients, it appears they dedicate significantly more effort and resources to defending their own image than they do to defending the interests of those they represent.

Well 2 years later the probate is almost complete. This has been the worst experience I've ever experienced with what should be a "professional" business. The level of incompetence that this attorney and his staff has demonstrated over the past 2 years is mind boggling. When I originally spoke to Mr Zack he said that an uncontested probate can be easily handled in 6 months with more difficult cases taking 1-2 years.

If you are considering hiring Mr Zack or his associates I would strong urge you to reconsider and retain someone else who is actually qualified.

My mother's dementia moved so quickly that she was unable to care for herself in over a period of a year and half. However, she thought she was fine, that put me in such a bind where I couldn't legally help her and she couldn't help herself. She was being scammed left and right, adult protective services had 5 different claims on her and I was hitting a point where I felt incredibly helpless. This office has lawyers that can handle a variety of such issues. They helped me get guardianship over my mother so I could legally move her to safety and have since helped me with every court proceeding I have had to date, to include the intricate details of her trust and finances. Additionally, I was helped with issues that had to deal with me and the stresd level i was dealing with. They care and it was a blessing that I came across this office.
