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.
