Castro & Associates is a boutique construction litigation firm comprised of trial attorneys who specialize in complex multiparty litigation. The firm handles residential, commercial and industrial cases including, soils failures, structural defects, concrete failures, water intrusion, and steel high rise defects. The firm just achieved a $55,000,000.00 recovery for the owners of the Wilshire Vermont Metro Rail Station in Los Angeles. The $55,000,000 represents the highest recovery for a construction defect case in the county. The firm tried and won a $23 million jury verdict litigating the deepest LA County landfill (100+ feet and in a record 10-month jury trial). Mr. Castro has also successfully litigated construction-related death and injury cases. As lead counsel, he won a multimillion dollar recovery following the collapse of the Northridge Meadows complex which killed 16 during the 1994 Northridge earthquake. He also won the first California collapse case of a URM building that killed two women during the 2003, San Simeon earthquake. The firm’s success arises from its “hands on” investigative approach and failure analysis. Mr. Castro was featured in National Geographic Magazine, the LA Times, National Geographic Channel’s, “Anatomy of an Earthquake” and in Forbes Magazine.
