One Step Ahead of Everyone Else
When I first learned I needed a defense lawyer for some very serious charges I was lost and scared, and feared the worst. I saw my life spinning out of control with the possibility of losing everything and even jail. I had never needed a lawyer and didn’t know who to turn to. Kendall Castello came highly recommended, and upon our first meeting I hired him immediately. Quickly upon retaining Kendall he recognized and explained my options, and gave sage advice to help me navigate these treacherous waters. He coached me every step of the way and made all the right moves and recommendations. Moreover, Kendall’s experience and lauded reputation with the District Attorney’s office proved pivotal in my defense as we always seemed to be one step ahead of everyone else. In the end, all charges were dismissed and restrictions were lifted. Kendall is 100% to thank for all this; he not only saved my career, he saved my life. I have never met a better lawyer, or better man…he is honest, ethical, judicious, and his integrity is above reproach. It is with great pleasure that I write this testimonial on his behalf…I truly owe him everything I have.
