Devoted Criminal Defense Attorney in Oakland

Meet Ernie Castillo

undefined

Unlike other defense lawyers, Attorney Castillo is a former extern for a federal judge. During this time, he had the opportunity to work behind the scenes and assist with the judicial thinking process involved in a judge's decision-making.

In 2014, Attorney Castillo became a proud member of The National Trial Lawyers: Top 100 Trial Lawyers, an invitation-only organization of the nation's premier trial lawyers who have met stringent qualifications in the areas of criminal law or civil litigation. In addition to this, our founder was honored with the Client Distinction Award for 2013 by Martindale-Hubbell® and the Elizabeth Rose Bird Award for Professionalism and Integrity.
