Jim Mcgee represented me through my divorce. At first, I tired to navigate divorce by myself as I thought it was simple giving the divorce was mutual consent. I was wrong!! As the divorce progressed through its motions and became more complicated, I hired Jim to represent me. This was one the best decisions I made through this process. Jim coached me through difficult legal language, worked with opposing attorney and helped to protect me from long term damage. I recommend hiring the Law Office of Robert Castro. Specifically, I recommend Jim Mcgee for any family court issues.

I’m truly thankful for finding the law offices of R. Castro which led me to Jim McGee. Attorney McGee was transparent, well organized, and knowledgeable about my case. Jim mapped out the entire process beginning to end, and we stayed well within the total forecasted time. My partner and I plan to leverage R.Castro/JIm McGee in the near future to establish a will and other legal consulting services. Thanks again to Attorney McGee. .

My wife and I had a very big vehicle accident this year 2024 and she get the worst of it. Our SUV was totalled, both air bags deployed. We were rushed to the nearest hospital emergency room. They check us up, CT scan and all. I did not have any fractured bones but my wife had multiple fractured ribs, sternum and part of her spine. I was released from the hospital but they had to rushed my wife to the trauma center in Washington DC to the George Washington University hospital center. She was admitted to the ICU for two days and a day in a regular room. We took her home but she was still in excruciating pain even with three high performance prescribe pain medication plus oxycodone.I went online to look for a personal injury lawyer in our area. I found Robert R. Castro law firm in Waldorf Maryland. He has excellent reviews. I called him and he came to our house. He explained to us the intricate details when getting a lawyer in cases like ours. A lot of information was relayed to us. One very important detail that most people are not aware about. When you sue and get a monetary settlement from your case, Medicare and other medical insurance that paid for your medical bills wants their money back from your settlement funds. The party at fault of our accident was under insured. Thank God out of the kindness of Robert R. Castro took our case. My wife's hospital and medical bills exceeded the amount of the insurance coverage of the party at fault. That's why I am recommending Robert R. Castro law firm to anyone who needs a good and down to earth lawyer. He was able to get us some money even though the party at fault insurance coverage is not enough to cover my wife's medical bills. Mr. Robert R. Castro took care of us together with his staff like Sherri Southern (my case manager), together with Kelly Smith, and Lauren Grucela. Our case was settled in ten short months. Hopefully this review will help others like us who for the first time have to sue after an accident. God Bless 🙏🙏🙏 everyone and God Bless Robert R. Castro and his team.

I retained Jessica Morales to represent me in my domestic case after my case was well in motion and I had been dealing with an attorney of a different firm. Jessica was hands down incredible!! I will be recommending her to everyone! She was so well organized, on top of every deadline, always communicated and made me feel assured I was well represented and prepared. I never had to try and track her down to get a call or email response, she was very responsive. I had a terrible experience with my first attorney and didn’t even realize all that should have been done in my case until Jessica stepped in. I am so incredibly thankful for her! She was able to negotiate a settlement that saved me thousands of dollars!!

Teresa Carpenter

I am extremely satisfied with the level of the service I received from attorney Jim McGee. He patiently helped me through the process of my divorce. Mr. McGee promptly replied to my emails as well as phone calls and was effective at communicating during those interactions. He was pleasant to speak with and was patient with me when things were, at times, confusing. It was a comfort to have him as my legal counsel during the divorce hearing because I knew that I was being expertly represented. I am now in the process of retaining Mr. McGee for other legal matters because of my level of satisfaction. Definitely 5 stars!

Morgan Jackson

Brooke and her assistant Melissa were absolutely amazing. We just wrapped up a year long divorce/custody dispute & Brooke was by my side every step of the way, answering all my questions, (no matter how many times I asked the same ones), and panicked emails all hours of the day/night. She gave me every piece of reassurance and guidance I needed through it all. Our situation was very high conflict at first but thanks to Brooke we reached an agreement (heavily in my favor!) she acted in the best interest of my family every single chance she had. I would HIGHLY recommend castro’s office, but of course, Brooke specifically.

I had the pleasure of working with this firm (Specifically Ms. O’Connell) over the last few years for a highly contested custody case. Ms. O’Connell is absolutely amazing! She is patient, understanding, fought tooth and nail, and really took the time to check on me, my daughter and really listened to our wants and needs! Everyone at this practice has been so helpful, kind and accommodating. I absolutely recommend and if ever needed again in the future I know 100% where I’ll be going back to!

I've had a GREAT experience with Mr. Boyd. From the intake meeting/conversation I could tell he was the right person for my case. I don't want to disclose my case however, every question I had, he had a answer. Or three. Along with MANY examples from previous cases he has helped with. For lack of better terms he "held my hand" the entire time, which is what I needed. This includes everything from the overall process to the court appearance and even after! After my case was heard, he walked me to the correct location in the court house for where I needed to visit. Mr. Boyd has my STRONG recommendation!

Marion Butler

1726254642

When I was looking for a Law Firm to represent me, my research landed me on The Law Office of Robert Castro. Mr. Boyd who sat down and spoke with me during my initial visit for counseling is a warm and consummate professional. The team here listens with compassion and understanding. One day I walked in the office and met Mr. Castro. We had a great conversation about the new building they'd be moving in and he reassured me that I was in good hands.I really want to take the time and thank Mr. Boyd and Vanessa for being kind, and effective. The outcome was positive and has allowed me to resume my life positively. No matter who you are, if you're looking for a law firm who will represent you well, look no further than The Law Firm of Robert Castro. They have a team of professional attorneys that can serve you.

Mr. McGee and the Law Office of Robert Castro took care of a difficult divorce for me. Since my ex spouse was in prison it took a little more time to get things processed. They took care of all of my worries and moved diligently to handle the process and keeping my mind at ease. It was quicker than I thought it would be and I'm thankful, truly happy and at peace with the outcome. Thank you guys so much for your help....hopefully I will never need your services again lol but if needed I would always come back and refer you 😉. Take care everyone and stay blessed.
