Mike Ferlet is correct. Months after paying bill in full on consultation day and finalization of divorce, another grand is billed. Most expensive divorce I ve had and it was uncontested with no property.

Morrigan Land took over my case after leaving an incompetent firm. She is caring, professional, and concise. She was so informative I did not have to ask any questions throughout this process, making this stressful situation easier. I do, and would recommend her to anyone. She will fight for you and really shines in court.

Watch your payments and get receipts. You may get a bill a year after the fact.....with no accounting of payments. Will not use them again.

I found myself in a really difficult and challenging custody battle and I went in with a lot of fear of the unknown because I had the idea that the state of Texas always favors the mothers instead of fathers. Morrigan was really attentive to my case, she was available day and night to answer any questions or concerns, was professional and driven, and above all else was compassionate towards my family and I. Two years later, I went from seeing my daughter for an hour every two weeks to now being the primary custodial parent. Morrigan Land, Christine, and the rest of the legal team have greatly impacted my family s life. I couldn t have asked for better representation in this case. Thank you for everything

Not efficient, client-focused, or interested in resolving cases time-sensitively. They make something relatively simple and straightforward an expensive, drawn-out fight over items that end up right where they started. Much menial paperwork and failure to communicate with opposing counsel on simple things often directly results in more billable hours and a more contentious case. More often than not, instead of communicating with opposing counsel via telephone or correspondence, Casteel files for a court date and includes combative language stating opposing counsel has been unwilling... without attempting once to reach out to negotiate. As with any attorney, anytime you go to court, you can expect to exhaust at least $2,000 of your retainer. In the case of Casteel, you will make multiple trips, but rarely, if ever, actually see the judge. Instead, you sit in a conference room for hours while the attorneys bounce back and forth, negotiating, and eventually reaching an agreement that could have been proposed and accepted weeks earlier via a couple of conversations trip to court was ever needed. Barron is lazy, and an average attorney at best. Ask other attorneys in town, and it is easy to validate that statement. Carter genuinely enjoys fighting over anything and everything. Whether it is the heart of the case or the most menial item, Carter will fight instead of negotiate. That is a very expensive route for simple things that are easily negotiated. Not everything in a case has to be a fight, and the more middle ground you can find to build on, the more willing parties will be to compromise on the more oversized items. They love temporary orders, which are the only rules of engagement in place until the case is finalized. More rules are more money, and more rules raise tension unnecessarily. They will file motions requesting the most obscure and restrictive conditions, based on no supporting evidence, then at court advise you to give in to the most generous concessions. What a waste of time and money. Casteel uses mediation, a time and technique designed to reach a compromise on a final agreement, to only focus on more unnecessary temporary orders. They refuse to discuss anything final. Why even do mediation in that case? They know the court requires mediation, and final is the last thing Casteel will seek during it a closed case garners no new fees. Barron and Carter often juggle caseloads between each other. That means Barron could be your attorney, but Carter shows up for mediation. The two dont communicate case details, so time is wasted rehashing what happened months prior, and then Carter reopens prior agreements because Carter decides she wants to fight anew in a different direction than Barron agreed to previously. They will ask the opposing party for boxes of discovery information, but openly admit they review none of it unless it will go to court. If finding agreement outside of a trip to the judge is important, it is important to know both the good and potentially damaging evidence on both sides of the case. Without that knowledge, you end up in an expensive trial that wouldnt have happened if they known how to leverage or minimize potential evidence. Yet, their team will spend an absurd amount of billable hours reviewing your own discovery response information. They will eventually submit it...incomplete, to opposing counsel. Incomplete results in further requests, and more billable hours responding. Casteels are certainly opportunistic with billable hours and have no urgency to settle your case.

Would highly recommend her!! The staff is amazing!!

Morrigan Land did not let my husband and I down and without law prejudice during recent mediation. She stood ground and retrieved us a great outcome for our family. Giving best foot forward as well attitude, Ms. Land accomplished what she set forth to do and what she said would do. Her team is very communicative and very pleasant. Many kudos!

My experience with Morrigan Land at was fantastic. She is very knowledgeable and made sure I understood every aspect of my case. She handled my situation thoroughly with documentations, dates, timeline, financial history, and communication. She had everything prepared for a successful win in mediation while updating me at all times of any changes. I was very thankful for her ability to handle all of this without stepping foot in a courtroom. I m impressed with her advocacy skills and would have her represent me in the future for all my family law needs.

Casteel and Casteel has always been there for me. We had a family issue that needed to be worked out. I worked with Barron on this issue. Everything was always attended to and I never had to call them. They were giving me detailed information on a weekly basis until all issues were resolved. I would highly recommend Casteel and Casteel.

Carter Casteel doesnt even do her own work, so what youre paying $$$ for is beyond me. Also, she grabbed my children at their fathers funeral. GRABBED THEM.
