Client Testimonials
I'm thankful to have found this firm
"Obviously no one anticipates having to hire a family lawyer in their life, but I'm thankful to have found this firm. I found all of the staff to be professional, courteous, kind, and discrete. They handled my separation as efficiently as possible, and I felt worked hard to resolve things."
We are extremely grateful
"Castle & Associates took on our case in a relatively unprecedented area of law when not many others were willing to do so. We are extremely grateful that Diann and her staff continue to fight for us."
I highly recommend Diann and the staff and Castle law
"I was fighting in family court for my children. Diann was my lawyer. Yes Diann is expensive. That been said she is amazing to deal with. You get what you pay for. Diann assistant Sara was also great. Everything was timely and they helped take some of the stress out of the situation I was in.They got me what I wanted and were very straight forward and honest. I spoke to Diann and it was always about the best interest of the kids. I cant thank her enough as Ive been in and out of court for a decade and had other lawyers but she was the one who helped me finish things up. I highly recommend her and the staff and Castle law. Thank you."
A THANK YOU
My father once related
This little quip to me
About his view of lawyers
And their integrity.
"An Honest lawyer's hard to find,"
And this is why he said;
"Because that man's not born yet,
And his poor mother's dead!"
I've always trusted my father's word
And I've quoted him loud and long.
But just this once I must confess
My dear old dad was wrong.
Word cannot describe the horror
That day the powers that be,
Came into our humble home
And took my babies from me.
I was sure the entire world
Had closed it's doors to me,
And if there was a light out there
I surely couldn't see.
Then when all was darkest
And I feared all hope was gone.
It was your strength and courage
That helped me carry on.
Each time I'd get discouraged
You were just a phone call away;
And more than once your gentle words
Helped me make it through the day.
I know a simple "Thank-you"
Could never hope to be
Enough to show how I appreciate
All that you have done for me.
Now when I meet my dear old dad
I will be able to tell him true.
A lady named Diann Castle
Is the honest lawyer he never knew.
Thank you, Diann, from my heart and soul for all you did for me.
"Hi, Diann, I read through a few of the testimonials on your website and the one from M.H. pulled at my heartstrings as her story was very similar to mine. I wish your firm had been my lawyers right from the beginning and I most heartily appreciate that you continued to act on my behalf after Sandra. You went above and beyond for me until the final days which I am deeply grateful for. I have this guilt in my heart for reneging on my promises to always be there. I feel I deeply disappointed you when I didn't show up in the Court of Appeal and no matter what, I will never be able to forgive myself for my shameful behaviour. I've not been able to understand why at the last moment I wasn't able to follow through on my assertions of: "I want my children, I will be there".
That day at SAIT, it was a shock, but not really a surprise, to see them all sitting together so casually. I know you really wanted to win this case but there was so much duplicity, coercion and combined constraints against us from all sides. I've had no contact with my son since that day at SAIT, but I still have a small fragile bit of hope that someday I will see him. It feels strange sometimes when I think of my son and I have no clue where he is, who he's with, or how he's doing. Contrary to what people say, I will never, ever be able to forgive any of them for what they did to me and my children."
Thanks Castle and Associates.
I recently used Diann Castle to represent me for some parenting issues and a legal name change of my daughter. Although Diann is expensive I would say it is worth the money to have her name behind you going into mediation or court. My matters ended up in mediation and I was successful in every aspect of what I wanted for myself and my daughter and I attribute that success to having Diann as my lawyer. I switched to Diann after a more junior lawyer I hired at another firm did not appear she had the experience to get the job done. Diann was honest, she put the process in motion quickly and encouraged me to mediate instead of attend court. Her assistant Sara was also excellent.
I was exceptionally pleased with Jessica's level of care!
This was my first time using your services and I was exceptionally pleased with your level of customer care, the standard of advice that you provided and your attention to detail regarding my concerns. Thank you.
The firm is now in my speed dial.
"We were targeted by municipal enforcement in the municipality we live in. They illegally towed our vehicle away from right in front of our house, impounded it and tried to get it crushed. The level of authoritarianism was quite worrisome; blocking us from getting our vehicle back, coming up with excuses, roadblocks, and new constraints as we went along regarding why we weren’t able to simply pay and get it out of impound. It was in the final week before the date the vehicle was supposed to be crushed that I finally reached to many firms, no one was even interested in helping, but these guys were the only ones who actually cared to help. After speaking with Alannah and explaining the situation, I got a consult with Jessica in the following days. Calls where made, names were taken down and as soon as they had spoken with the town, that same week I finally recouped the car and all tickets/fines were dismissed or cancelled. The ordeal has costed us thousands but without the amazing folks at Castle&Associates, it would of been significantly worse and we would of probably lost our second car because of the inflated ego of some parking attendant going on a power trip. The firm is now in my speed dial."
I was really impressed by their approach.
"I worked with Castle & Associates on a family law matter, and I was really impressed by their approach. The team was knowledgeable and took the time to walk me through everything. They answered all my questions and made sure I felt comfortable with the decisions being made. The service was efficient, and they kept me updated regularly, which I really appreciated. Pricing was fair and clear from the beginning, so I never felt like there were any surprises. If you need a solid, no-nonsense law firm, I’d definitely suggest giving them a call."
They are very knowledgeable and answered all questions and concerns that I had.
"I needed a lawyer to help me with getting Guardianship of my Mother who was diagnosed with Dementia and needed to have the Personal Directive my Mom had put in place revoked as they were not caring for her needs. Diann Castle and Alannah Jensen were absolutely amazing with helping me achieve the goals I needed. They are very knowledgeable and answered all questions and concerns that I had. They are also very compassionate and helped me to feel very comfortable with the process from start to finish. I would recommend them to anyone that needs a very professional lawyers office for their needs. I feel they totally went above and beyond for me and my Mom as now I know that my Mom is being very well taken care of."
I highly recommend Castle & Associates to anyone in need of family law services.
"I couldn't be more grateful for their professionalism and expertise. The team was attentive, responsive, and took the time to fully understand my situation. They provided clear guidance every step of the way. I highly recommend Castle & Associates to anyone in need of family law services."
Highly recommended.
"One must understand that a lawyer is like a doctor and it's a very noble profession.
An individual needs to have his/her clear goals on what he/she needs to achieve through the court. In our case where my youngest Sister was badly trapped through marriage was rescued by Mr.David.
Hats off !!
Brilliant skills of Mr David and the entire team."
I felt bad for the other side.
"I recently used Castle and Associates for a second time after submitting a family court application after a mediation last year in early 2021. I can't stress enough that Diann is an amazing lawyer and you get what you pay for. Diann's associate Tanya Kelm was also amazing in the handling of my case and letters, court documents, affidavits and documentation but Ms Castle handled my court date and I got everything I wanted, Diann was so good in court the opposing counsels lawyer barely got 10 words in. I felt bad for the other side. Diann commanded the court room on this day and because of her experience I was successful. Worth every penny, I highly recommend Diann and Tanya."
I couldn't be more pleased!
"My experience with David Chan was great after I was recently laid off in November of 2023. Although my severance was double what the law says, I still reached out to Castle for a second opinion and asked David Chan at the firm to review the package before signing. David advised me of potential additional rights and not to sign the offer. Using a series of case law and remedies, he wrote out a counter offer to my employer. Within two hours of sending the counter, the employer accepted the counter offer which gave me double on their initial settlement offer. I couldn't be more pleased! Highly recommended."

Diann P. Castle
Diann approaches law in the same way that she proposed to the University of Windsor when she was awarded a Scholarship to the University of Windsor; all matters should be mediated, negotiated and counselled before proceeding to litigation.
