Damian provided a lot of useful info in a very short amount of time. He's not the type of guy to waste your time with no results!

I chose Castaneda & Co. randomly from Yelp reviews for a consultation on a real estate transaction I was party to. Damian amazed me with his knowledge and quick work in researching my issue in law books, case files, and of course Google. He not only searched in California, but across the US, federal courts and even the Supreme Court.
He was very easy to work with via text and email, as well as lengthy phone calls.
I have worked with many lawyers in my career as an executive in the Semiconductor space, but Damian is ahead of the pack in my view.
I would highly recommend him for your issues.

I sent a message over the holidays thinking at best I’d hear the next day and at worst the next week. Instead, I was shocked to hear right back from Daniel not only a response about when he could meet but also with a tailored response to my question and highlighted footnotes to consult. He helped ease me and we’re very impressed with our experience!

Definitely recommend Damian Castaneda! Very knowledgeable and professional. He provided me with a 30 min complimentary consultation and was very clear about my rights. He was very honest and advised me how to go about handling my case in the most efficient and affordable way. This was the first time I seek a lawyer and will definitely consider him again in the future if needed.

I spoke to Damian for a free consultation regarding a complicated civil matter that I needed guidance on. He provided me with the necessary information that I needed to start the legal process, including all of the options available for me. He provided me with details on how to resolve my matter without a lawyer, which I felt was very generous of him. I am going to pursue the advice that he's provided to me and if needed, then I will contact him again for his assistance. He seems like a very knowledgeable, friendly, and responsive business man.

The most helpful real estate lawyer I have dealt with in the Bay Area thus far, and most importantly, the most ethical. We have been wronged by previous owners on failure to disclose non-permitted work, and Mr. Castaneda has guided me through all the options on how I can obtain some measure of justice. - Zhonghua

I am very happy with this law firm. They are very responsible and quick response. I read reviews from others and a little bit question about it, since working the firm I found out that they are true stories.

I've called Mr Castaneda multiple times in the last few months regarding a sensitive and complex legal issue and he's always taken time out of his day to give me a wealth of advice, free of charge and made sure I know where to look in order to help myself or seek further assistance. Telephone consults never seem rushed, he is always friendly, and he always follows up with a few texts.

Could not recommend more highly, book your consultation or call him right now.

Where do I even begin?

I became a client exactly a year ago and never looked back. Castaneda & Co. has been nothing but good to me. While they specialize in real estate, they had no problem dealing with my bizarre case.

I was accused of some awful things. I was harassed at work, at home, and on the internet. The court system was failing me and allowed a simple case to drag out practically a year due to a crazy woman’s court theatrics. It took a huge tole on my life both financially and personally.

Matt McElroy took over my case when the lead attorney on my case left the firm. He may as well have been there the entire time because he knew the case inside and out in (what felt like) a few hours.

Long story short (well, maybe just a little long) with the help of both Matt McElroy and Damian Castaneda, we triumphed in the end and won my case.

Damian Castaneda is one of the most genuine and caring individuals I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting (that’s saying a lot for an attorney!). He was EXTREMELY (multiply that by roughly 40 thousand) generous when it came to billing.

You’d only be so lucky to have these guys on your side! THE WINNING SIDE! They’re willing to go the extra mile and do what it takes to get the job done.

Thanks for everything guys!

Damian Castaneda is an expert when it comes to home rentals, HOA and related topics. He provided a one hour consulation to me free of charge. In this one hour, he explained to me in great detail all the rules related to my question on HOA policy on condo rentals and helped me understand my options. His advice was invaluable and I would recommend him to anyone who needs help with real estate legal matters. Thanks, Manish

I spoke with Damian about some challenges around a partnership agreement. He offered up some resources for me to check out and had some great suggestions on moving forward or next steps to working together. I am still in the midst of negotiation of details but plan on working with Damian once things have been sorted on my end. He was very easy to talk to and put things in a language that I could understand avoiding all the legal speak. Looking forward to re-engaging him.

Wow! I just called and spoke with Damien regarding some urgent real estate legal issues expecting to have to set up an appointment and pay for some advice and consultation, which I would have gladly done in my situation. Instead, I got all my questions answered in a concise and knowledgeable 30 minute phone call. Damien took the time to understand my legal issue and offered tons of very helpful advice...for free, without any expectation of returned business. I can tell he was genuine and honest. He was very knowledgeable with home builder and real estate matters and general etiquette on how to handle legal situations regarding them. If I need further legal help I will be definitely going back and will be recommending him to family and friends. Thank you Damien!

I had a consultation with lawyer Damian this morning and I found him very professional, patient and to-the-point. My problem involves tenant eviction and I want to go through a regular process to deal with it. He read my case and referred me two lawyer firms who are professional on regular eviction. Although I may not be his target client, he read my lease carefully and answered every single question that I proposed, penitently and nicely. He is not that kind of lawyer who is arrogant and arbitrary as he cares the needs of client. All I can feel is that he wants to teach me the law as much as he can so that I will be able to handle the problem. Thank you, Dr. Damian, you are a fantastic combination of teacher and a lawyer!

I just had an amazing 30 minute consultation with Damian! He is very knowledgeable in regards to employment law and very easy to speak with. I could tell within the first few minutes that he really cares about people! His authentic and genuine demeanor as he explained to me my best options was quite refreshing. I am happy to refer people to Damian and his firm because I know with confidence that he will provide them with service filed with integrity and or guide them in the best direction for their specific cases. Thanks a million, to both you and Laura for your support and expertise!

I recently contacted this law firm and Damian is just exemplary. I have dealt with many law firms in the past(family, civil) but never met lawyer like him who do a thorough job and during consultation itself he will make it clear about case fate and tentative cost. I find Damian a great dynamic passionate personality who if takes case means he has to win as defeat does not exist in his dictionary. This law firm was too quick in responses also and Damian even reach out over weekend (Sunday) asking for case details so he can prepare himself before our scheduled Monday call. This is what impressed me as somehow doing homework before talking to me that too just for consultation is a big deal. I highly recommend this law firm and I am sure with this transparency and honesty their business will continue to flourish.

Damian took time out of his busy schedule to help me understand my legal situation. For Free! It is a complicated legal system - very confusing to navigate. It is extremely valuable to get good advice in the beginning. That is where Damian comes in. He thoroughly evaluated my case and offered his firm's no pressure guidance. If he can represent you he will, if he thinks your specific case warrants another lawyer's specific expertise he will give you very insightful referrals. Either way he is on your side 100%. With Damian's help I now know my options and best path forward. I am very thankful for his advice and knowledge.

I contacted Castaneda firm to get some information for a friend and got immediate reply from Damian. He was very professional and knowledgeable. Although he couldn’t assist with our type of case he offered many valuable tips and advice. He listened carefully and was very generous with his time and provided specific suggestions and resources that could help solve many issues. He sincerely cares for his clients and is changing peoples lives. I was very impressed with his knowledge and education about the law as well as advice he offered. I will definitely be referring clients to Damian and his firm. Damian is one of the best lawyers I have encountered.

Recently, We ran into legal situation by selling our home. We called more than twenty lawyers in our areas. Majority of the them either did no respond or had their legal assistant to take down a case summary. Among those calls, Damian's quick response set him apart from other lawyers.

Before setting up our first consultation, Damian and we had been exchanging text messages regarding the case. He tried to understand the situation, and asked us to provide all the necessary material for him to review. At the same time, he kept doing research on our case and providing a lot of legal information and guidance even before we decided to hire him as our attorney.

During our initial phone consultation, just 5 hours after our first contact , Damian has already understood our situation in detail. He gave us his legal opinion about the situation and provided guidance on how we should proceed further. After our phone consultation, we already felt more confident about our case.

Just over the period of two weeks, he communicated with all parties very efficiently, our case was resolved with very satisfying results and totally exceeded our expectation. His dedication to his clients and all the efforts he put in eventually paid off.

If there are more than 5 stars, I would have given them..
Actually, I felt from within that I must write about Damian. I needed some legal advice but wasn't sure where do I start or to go. Damian's free service really came to the rescue. Even though the free phone consultation was 30 minutes he went beyond an hour asking lot of questions to fully understand the case. Once he had the complete idea, he did the research. After that he shared lot of resources and gave detailed explanation about where we stand and what can be done to move forward to get the justice.

He is truly a professional, local to San Jose and enjoys helping local community. To my surprise, he didn't look at the time and didn't charge for his extra time and continue to discuss and answer all my queries patiently.
Everyone's time is valuable and so I thought of my first review on Google starting with him.

Thanks Damian, really appreciate your help on going above and beyond !!

There are not many attorneys who will take their time to research and point you in the right direction.

I needed a consultation on a very big legal matter. Damien was so nice to research and connect me with the attorney an expert in the area in which I needed a urgent consultation.

Before talking to Damien I spoked to 7 attorneys and none of them took time to help me.

Damien is a good samaritan.

We contacted this firm regarding a tenant-landlord issue. Damian was beyond thoughtful and went out of his way to give us advice, letting us know our rights, share resources, and even recommending others to talk to as well. It’s rare that a professional shows that they actually care about helping when you’re in a tough situation. We really appreciated it since we would otherwise feel helpless and taken advantage of. This was our first interaction with someone in law so it was definitely unexpected - he gives attorneys a good name!

Very helpful and more importantly, quick! I had a few questions about my lease which I wanted to run by a lawyer. Damien reached out within mins of my call and asked me to setup a free 30 mins consult. Then 30 mins before my call he asked me to send docs and all so he could be properly setup for the call. By the time the time came for the call, most of the questions were already answered. Mission accomplished.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Damian on my case and was mind-blown by the amount of effort, research, and professionalism he provided. Right from the start, he showed how invested he was by providing extensive material (citations, laws, notes) regarding my case and explained everything in layman terms. I told him how I wasn't able to afford his service. Not only was he willing to help me free of charge, but he also offered advice on the best course of action to take and willingness to help afterwards!

The service provided is something you rarely see nowadays. You truly felt like he was looking out for you and will immediately notice when speaking with him. I really hope this law firm gets more recognition because it DEFINITELY deserves it!

Thanks for your help Damian!

I found Damian through the great reviews he has on Yelp. My case is not a complicated one but since Damian offers 30 minutes of free consultation I thought I can get some advices from him to get ready for my case. Damian not only gave me some great advices, answered all my questions, did research, texted and emailed me the links so I can read up on my case. He even followed up with me and send me more information on a Sunday. All of this work and expertises given for FREE.

Damian deserves more than a 5 stars for all the help he has given me. Thank you Damian.

A human attorney for a change!! Damian is a great professional that knows how to put himself in the shoes of the client and advice accordingly. He spent over 30 minutes figuring out the best way to help our case even though it was not his field of expertise and knowing that he could not take our case (very complicated case about building permits). I would choose him in a heart beat.

I called Casteneda & Co regarding what I thought might be a real estate matter (with an urgent deadline). I was able to speak with Damian immediately and he took the time to listen to my issue even though he was facing his own deadline.

Ultimately he recommended I contact someone in family law and was able to provide me with a list of certified family law specialists. It took me calling about 20 people before I found one of them willing to listen to what I needed and help me. It really made me realize how awesome Damian was to make time for me immediately. He also followed up to see if I was able to find someone to help :-)

Next time I need a Real Estate attorney he will be the first person I call!

I had a few question regarding a recent transaction, and was looking for a real estate attorney to answer a few of the questions that I had, I found Damian on yelp, and called his listed number expecting that a receptionist would mostly take my call, but to my pleasant surprise, it was Damian, he immediately scheduled a 1:1 phone call the same day for later in the evening. During the phone call, he went above and over to answer all lingering questions that I had. He researched the data, that I provided beforehand, and was able to provide sound legal advice. Even though he was traveling in a different time zone, he was very prompt with the appointment. He was also very professional and polite during the call.

Definitely recommend for top notch legal advice.

If I could give more than five stars to Damian I would have! He is professional, polite and knowledgeable in what he does. When I left him a message in Yelp, he returned my message promptly though it was late night! We quickly settled a time to talk and, even though, I didn't have a good reception on my phone he shared his number to finally talk. Without charging me, he gave me nice advice on my case and even introduced me a good book to get to it to upgrade my knowledge and also have access to sample of letters I needed to write. Moreover, he provided me concepts and legal matters I needed to include into my letter, all free of charge! I highly recommend him!

I had questions on how to deal with my case and Damian provided a detailed overview of the options that I should consider and a thorough roadmap of how to proceed with it. He explained the pros and cons of each of the options. Through out the consultation period, he kept me comfortable, allowed me to think and ask questions, until I get all the answers. For those questions that he could not answer, he referred me to the person who could answer better.

He is thorough and gives a solid reasoning behind every statement.

Any day my friends have a need, I would definitely recommend him.

I reached out to several other law firms to discuss my case. Castaneda & Co was the most professional by far -- they were prompt in reaching out to schedule a call via a calendar link. The call with Damien was extremely helpful - he gave me steps on how to find a firm that could help me, even though they couldn't take my case. He also gave me tips on how to present my case, and what to consider when calling other law firms. Other firms I talked to either pointed me to file a complaint with the California labor & housing dept, or stated the amount would be too small for them to take on, or I'd be filling too late. Damian listened to my case and encouraged me to try another route. Extremely happy I contacted this firm, only wished that I had talked to them first.

As a person who cant seem to get out of his own way, I needed some professional advice. It is always a scary thought knowing that you have to contact an attorney for anything but Damian really made the consultation feel like I was talking to an old friend. He understands what you are going through. Is well studied in his respective field and has the correct connections in areas he does not specialize in. He laid out my options in a way that was both easygoing and practical so there was no confusion on my part. Needless to say that I highly recommend anyone who is shopping for a Real Estate Attorney to contact him first. You wont regret it.

I have a contract issue and seeking for professional advises. I setup a free consultation with Castaneda & Co., and spoke with Damien. He reached out to me prior to our call and familiarize himself with the details before the call, and clearly had looked at the details I sent to him.

The call was incredibly helpful. Damien spent over 30 minutes of his time educating me about what to anticipate and also provided me some research results while we were on the phone to help me with my options. Damien shared useful insights about various options to handle the matter, different approach to handle the situation. He is thorough, clear-minded and articulate, and someone who clearly appears to take pride in his work.

Thank you again for the efforts! Even though I am not sure if I need an attorney at this time, Damien will definitely be the one I go to.

I was looking for a defense lawyer for possible case related to mold litigation. The attorney responded shortly. He is very honest. He told me I need a lawyer specialized in the particular area and this is not his field. At the same time, the attorney provided quite a few links related to the case. He knew he is not going to get my business since he doesn't practice in the area related to my case. However, the attorney still helped my by providing helpful tips. I believe this attorney has high ethic standard and warm heart to help people.

Like night and day. I began in the dark and feeling bullied by my HOA. When I finished my FREE consultation phone call with Damian, I felt empowered.

Damian listened and provided thoughtful advice. He had given more relevant information in 30 minutes than I ever would have found after searching google for days.

Trust me I tried for over 2 weeks trying to speak with a lawyer specializing in Real Estate Law/ Homeowner Associations. Not only did Damian provide me with a verbal roadmap to address my multitude of problems, he sent me a summary document recapping the key points.

One thing for sure, if I need someone by my side in court, Damian R. Castaneda will be the one I call first.

He evaluated the information I had an got back to me with my options and very clear documentation on what I can expect and how to proceed.

I called asking for a consultation that was needed on an emergency basis. Though their firm was not the correct one for our situation (Different practice) they immediately provided me with multiple references to the correct firms that could help me. If I ever need someone in this field I will be sure to call them back! Great service, answered immediately, and was happy and eager to assist.

I contacted Mr. Castaneda, and he reach out and contacted me within 2 hours. While my concern was very specific and outside of his real estate specialties, he nonetheless guided me towards attorneys who would help me with my real estate issue. He was kind enough to provide more than one attorney’s contact information. He generously did this free of charge, and I really appreciate the quick response and help.

I called Damian regarding a real estate issue that I was incredibly worried about. I had no idea if I needed legal services at the time but wanted to see if i could get some advice.

DAMIAN ANSWERS HIS OWN PHONE. Unheard of. I couldn't believe it when I called and he picked up on like the first ring and identified himself. He was immediately sympathetic and got right to work on my issue, even though he admitted he was not an expert on my particular problem. He took the time to laboriously copy and paste relevant info from law books. He did his utmost to answer my questions and also refer me to lawyers who could better assist. He did this all because he is an incredibly nice person and he knew how worried I was.

Damian breaks the stereotype of the crass, money-grubbing, heartless lawyer. He is an asset to his profession. I will refer him whenever and wherever I can.

Unbelievable. I have never felt the need to enter into a courtroom before. With my situation it was more about letting the Business I was dealing with know that it is NOT okay to treat people the way I was treated, then it was about recouping any money. I messaged and received a response from Damian within 30 minutes. I am so thankful for his knowledge, guidance and patience. Certainly knows that it is important to make a person feel validated and heard regardless of whether it will be a case for him or not. Damian followed up the next day to make sure I have all the information he can think of that will prepare me to move forward and never once mentioned or asked for any payment to him. While it was not a case for Damian to take on this time, I can say with confidence I will be recommending him each and every chance I can get. I cannot thank you enough. A genuine, honest and friendly person indeed.

We had a consultation with Damian to ask questions about a contract with an architect. He was extremely helpful and proactive and pointed out many issues we didn't even know to ask. After he gave us all of his advice, he even gave us a reference to another lawyer who might be more knowledgeable in one specific area. He went well beyond our expectations for the call.

Damian Castaneda took the time to truly understand my needs and gave me practical advice. It was very clear to me that he had my best interest at heart and I highly recommend him. I'm glad to find that there are still attorney's that provide real value rather than just a big invoice.

Damian Castaneda helped me recently as my lawyer in a highly stressful situation. I highly recommend him for the following reasons:
1. Thoroughness: I messaged at least a dozen law firms. All of them replied but Damian's reply was the most detailed. I was blown away by the level of detail (he cited cases, laws, etc) in answering my question.
2. Smart cookie! If you're going to get into any legal business, you need a smart lawyer who will guide help you. From my correspondence with him, I could tell that he was a bookworm in law school--which is wonderful in my case!
3. Sincerity: I felt a burden lifted after each correspondence with Damian. My husband and I trusted him completely. Just from the first correspondence we knew he was different from most of the other lawyers we've consulted. We felt that he practiced law for the right reasons and had our best interest at heart. We never felt pressured to make any decision which we were not ready for and we felt that he educated us about pros/cons of each of our options. This helped us make an informed decision which was best for our family.
5. Effective--he gave smart advice which helped us negotiate the contract.
6. Responsive: he was quick to respond to all of my questions (and I had many...)

I would recommend Castaneda & Co to anyone who needs help in law. Thank you, Damian!
