I did that, but when the appointment time came, no one called. I had to follow up myself, only to be asked to reschedule.

Attorney Anthony Dispoto is by far one of the best attorneys I've ever worked with. I've personally…read moreused Anthony on numerous commercial real estate transactions and every time he has been extremely detailed, responsive and really knows exactly what he is doing. What also helps a lot is that Anthony is also a California licensed real estate broker, so he understands both sides of the transaction. The legal side and the real estate side. That alone makes a huge difference when you're dealing with important commercial deals. Besides real estate, he has also helped me with other matters, including reviewing contracts for both my business and personal needs. He has guided me through different situations with a lot of knowledge and patience. Another thing I really appreciate is that he is extremely reasonable with his rates. For the level of service, experience and attention he gives, it is very fair. He is also always available by phone and extremely responsive, which is hard to find these days. I feel very fortunate to have Anthony on my side. I really can't speak enough about him. Anyone who uses his services will not regret it. Highly recommend.

After the unexpected death of my brother settling both his estate and that of our brother who had…read moredied several years earlier, fell into my lap. The silver lining of this dark cloud was having Castro Law already engaged with my older brother's estate. I was overwhelmed by all of this, in particular because I live on the East Coast and neither of my brothers had a will or had done any other estate planning. From my first phone call, Loren and Thomas were kind and understanding. They mapped out for me what the process of settling these estates would entail, and then they and their team assisted me at every step of the way. I deeply appreciate the clear, prompt, and thorough communication from every member of the team throughout the process. They thoroughly explained what and how to do at each step required of me, and they were efficient with all the court filings and other tasks in their parts of the process. In addition, every member of the staff was very generous and helpful in connecting me with outside resources when I needed them.

Compassionate, Professional, and Truly Exceptional…read more You always hear those horror stories about family trusts and how ugly they can get. I never imagined I'd have one of those stories--but after my father passed, I learned just how quickly family drama can turn into heartache, stress, and endless battles. I was referred to Attorney Loren Castro by another attorney who said she didn't handle these types of cases. From the very first call, Loren was kind, patient, and--most importantly--he truly listened. Even when tensions ran high, his calm and balanced approach made everything easier to manage. Although the process was long and emotionally draining, Loren's steady guidance and professionalism made an incredibly difficult experience more bearable. He became the bridge between me and my family, helping me navigate this challenging time with dignity, empathy, fairness, and confidence. Loren will stand by you, fight for you, and ensure your voice is heard--you will not be disappointed. And it wasn't just Loren--his entire team deserves recognition. Thomas Castro and Jason Scott, you were compassionate, respectful, and encouraging through it all. You are an amazing team, and I'm so grateful for your support. From the bottom of my heart--thank you all for helping me through one of the hardest times in my life. Respectfully, Vicky De La Trinidad

WOW - I just got off the phone with the receptionist of this firm who was the most unprofessional…read moreand incompetent person I have ever encountered. I was trying to inquire about a specific case and she was so rude and combative. I was trying to explain my situation in a very positive and well-mannered way but could not get any words in. This lady was so defensive, aggressive and abrasive. To this firm: if this is your gatekeeper, the person who is supposed to represent your business, maybe consider someone else because she is now indicative of your who you are as a law firm, business and organization. She was insensitive and lacking any empathy for the situation I was calling about. Had she had a different, more positive response, I absolutely would've kept your information for any future needs. However, now I am looking at your competitors to take my business.

If your pretty debutante of a wife from San Marino turns into a capricious shrew and serves divorce…read morepapers days after the 10-year anniversary, or if your 17-year old flattens a Spandex'd bicyclist on PCH with the Prius, that's when it's time to call the boys at Wigglebottom and Cox, or some other heavy-hittting white-shoe, $900.00/hour downtown LA law firm. But when you need to go after some deadbeat tenant with a fat wallet and two missed payments on the pickup truck, Calder and Mello are the ticket. I'm quite happy with the routine matters that Calder and Mello handles for me when: --The tenant's check was actually in my mail, but it bounced. --The massage tenant pulls a midnight move after their money circle burns up somewhere between Burma and Vladivostok. --An 800-pound so-called credit tenant wants to unilaterally assign their lease to a shell entity and bamboozle the owner with paperwork. Granted much of UD law is routine filings, and Calder and Mello prices it right at around $100.00 or so for the initial service of the 3-day. I've seen Kevin Mello in action at the courthouse and he's low-key and efficient. After winning a couple of judgements and collecting, I cannot complain.

I worked with Catalina for a one-hour consultation involving a seller non-disclosure and…read moremisrepresentation situation. She reviewed my purchase contract, disclosures thoroughly, caught what mattered, and gave me honest, no-BS clarity on my next steps. From the moment we started, she skipped the fluff and got straight to work. Every minute counted and none of it was wasted. She spotted that my SPQ and TDS were not up to date after disclosures were added later, and made sure I knew to be BCC'd on all communications going forward. These are exactly the kinds of things you don't know to look for until it's too late. Her background as both an attorney and a real estate agent gives her perspective that most attorneys simply don't have. But what struck me most is that she is a true advocate for you. I walked away feeling informed, confident, and truly protected. If you need someone detail-oriented, straight to the point, and genuinely in your corner, I highly recommend her.

She…read moreimmediately guided me in the right direction, and it was truly one of the best time I've ever spent with an attorney.

Navigating the nuances of trusts and estate probate can be daunting, but they are always responsive and clear, ensuring I feel extremely well-represented at every turn.
