I Don’t usually post reviews but this time I had too. I have been searching for an attorney to help with an employee to employer’s lease agreement. I called several places and no returned calls except Damian Castaneda from Castaneda &Co . He stayed on the phone with me over an hour and explaining why unfortunately he could not take me as a client . Damien gave me practical and honest advice in regards to what I needed . Damien was genuinely honest and helpful. When I got off the phone with him I felt Informed and so grateful that there are still professions out there who takes the time to go the extra mile and took the time out for someone he didn’t even know .. Thank you Damien
I recently had a consultation with Damian from Castaneda & Co., and it was one of the few times I’ve spoken with an attorney who truly made me feel like I was talking to a regular person, not someone just watching the clock. Before the call, I was honestly nervous. I had been dealing with a very stressful real estate issue that had caused a lot of mental strain, and my wife was past her due date at the time, so my mind was everywhere. I even told her before the call that I probably wouldn’t get to fully explain my situation before being interrupted (since it was a free consultation). But to my surprise, Damian took the time to really listen. He let me explain everything without rushing me, asked thoughtful questions, and then carefully broke down my legal options in a way that actually made sense. What stood out most was that he didn’t pressure me into hiring their firm, instead, he offered practical steps I could take on my own if I wasn’t ready to move forward yet. That kind of honesty and empathy is rare. He even went beyond and provided me with legal advice that showed he genuinely cared about helping, not just billing hours. To Damian: I just want to personally thank you for being the kind of attorney you are; patient, humble, and willing to help the “small guy” in the room who’s usually overwhelmed by professionals and legal talk. You made me feel heard and respected during one of the most stressful moments in my life, and that’s something I’ll always remember and appreciate. If you’re in a difficult or overwhelming real estate situation and don’t know where to start, I can’t recommend Damian and the team at Castaneda & Co. enough. They’re knowledgeable, kind, and most importantly, they treat you like a person, not just another case.
My partner and I met with Damien for an initial Zoom consultation regarding a potential issue involving misrepresentation in our real estate listing. From the start, he came across as someone who genuinely wanted to guide us toward the best path forward and clearly explained what that next step could look like. His knowledge was incredibly valuable, and we truly appreciate the time he took to walk us through our options. His website was also exceptionally detailed, which was one of the reasons I initially felt he genuinely cares and that same effort and sincerity came through in person. Damien made it clear that his goal is to equip you with all the information you need as a trusted advisor, while thoughtfully guiding you toward your next step. He was transparent about the potential time and financial investment, leaving the decision entirely in our hands without any pressure. He’s also incredibly easygoing and a pleasure to talk to, which made the whole experience even more comfortable. If you’re dealing with a real estate challenge, I would definitely recommend reaching out to him.
Damian was extremely honest, kind, knowledgeable, and respectful of our entire situation. He couldn’t take our case but directed us in all the right directions, gave us advice, and even got in contact with another firm for us. I was honestly hoping to work with him based on how well spoken he was about our issue, but him helping us out and finding us another firm was over the top in terms of customer service. If I run into any other problems in the future Damian will 100% be my go-to guy.
