Biography

“Everything I do is for my clients. They are real people going through real life situations and they need help.”

As an immigrant to the United States, I went through the legal process of immigration along with my parents at the age of eight – we attended court and I was immediately attracted to the poise and style of the attorneys amidst the chaos of immigration court.

Later, at age 12, I was detained by immigration and separated from my mother in Puerto Rico on a return trip to the United States from Martinique. I was interrogated by immigration officers who threatened to return me to France, my birthplace, without my parents if I did not cooperate.

At such a young age, having experienced the feeling of helplessness without legal guidance, and having recalled my earlier positive impression of attorneys helping others, I devoted myself to pursuing a legal career, so as to represent people who needed a compassionate voice and sound legal guidance through unfamiliar and sometimes life-changing circumstances.

Soon after becoming a lawyer, I sought to join an intimate sized law firm that would provide the opportunity to concentrate on partnering closely with clients. For fourteen years I remained with that firm, gaining valuable legal experience and knowledge that allowed me to flourish in a multidisciplinary legal practice. 

In late August 2022, Castor Law LLC was opened to the public prepared to provide "Excellence in Service, Professionalism, with Proven Results."

My practice areas include: Personal Injury; Motor Vehicle Accidents and Injuries; Workers Compensation; Real Estate; Family Law; Divorce; Child Support and Custody; Wills/Probate; Auto Accidents, Slip and Fall, Dog Bites, Workplace Accidents; Estate Planning

I am passionate about forming strong partnerships with my clients to:

• Advocate on their behalf and in their best interests
• Make them feel comfortable to contact or meet with me to discuss their case
• Clearly understand their situation and goals
• Consistently provide sound legal counsel
• Pursue optimal legal remedies that provide them with satisfaction or amelioration of their pain and suffering
• Keep them informed regarding all legal procedures and what to expect during the course of action to be pursued
• When accidents occur as a result of someone else’s negligence, or a life event necessitates legal counsel, my clients deserve representation that will assure they are legally protected and/or fully compensated when justified.
