Peter did so much more for me than just represent me (an out-of-state client). He answered all my questions, explained each situation with patience, and most importantly, gave me the confidence to move forward. His guidance and words of encouragement have changed my life for the better. When I first spoke with Peter I was sure I had hit rock bottom. His words and consistent support enabled me to pursue "the best" in all areas of my life. I am now more successful than I have ever been, in my personal life and my professional life. Thank you!

Peter fought for me for a year on my DUI case. All said and done he was able to get my DUI reduced to reckless driving. This was amazing as I was dealing with a violation of probation. He kept me out of jail and my driving privileges normal. Thanks Peter.

Peter came highly recommended. His communication throughout the process was great. I could not be happier with the counsel I received or the outcome. You guys saved my life.

Alan provided great counsel and did an excellent job resolving my case. I was facing very stiff consequences. He knew exactly what to do and how to approach the situation in order to get me the best possible outcome. He told me what the best possible scenario was and then he did even better than that! He was very responsive through out and genuinely showed concern and care for my situation. He even came and visited me to discuss the case and check on me while I was in custody which I really appreciated. I highly recommend him and his team.

In an uncertain time Peter help me navigate through the hoops of a Felony DUI. Never felt any pressure to go with him as my Attorney and he was always response to my questions. If you find yourself in a need of someone, hands down would recommend Peter.

I got a speeding ticket in Costa Mesa. Knowing I had a warrant from 6 years earlier for driving on a revoked license. Knowing it carried mandatory jail time I started seeking legal counsel. Not to mention I had not had a valid driver's license since 1995 from a DUI it now being 2019, 24 years driving without a valid license always looking in the rearview mirror. After placing some calls I contacted Peter that first phone call changed my life. Peter spent a significant amount of time on the first call with me. He told me Let's put this behind you. Take care of this and not just quick fix a problem that will reoccure. Peter and his team went to work for me. The warrant was dismissed. I went into an 18 month alcohol program completed the program. Today I am a licensed driver. Here is my point Peter genuinely cared that I didn't look over my shoulder any more I am 64 years old. A grandfather. That first call changed my life and I have to say thank you for caring and showing me I could fix my problem with the correct guidance. Thank you for your time and effort in turning my life around. Robert Canfield

Peter Iocona and his two partners, Marlo and Alan, at The SoCal Law Network are the best team that I could have hoped for and they honestly saved my career as a doctor in the healthcare field. I was being charged with 1) driving under the influence of alcohol and 2) having a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) above 0.08% in April of 2018. I was AQUITTED on both counts/charges when Peter and I took it to trial in March of 2020 (nearly 2 years later). When it came to the DMV hearing that follows a DUI charge, Peter fought my case and the DMV concluded my driver's license was not to be suspended. In short, my BAC was 0.05-0.06%, the field sobriety tests were not perfect, and the police officers did not follow certain protocols, but Peter was always objective when pointing out the strengths and weaknesses of the case and had me ultimately make the decision to move forward to go to trial or not (this was never a clear cut win). He and his partners did everything they could to prevent going to trial, but were always ready to go to trial if needed. During trial, he was articulate in his presentation and VERY well prepared (you can see from his multitude of binders of research papers and proper protocol). He also prepared me well for what was going to happen before and during trial. It was frightening to be in this situation, but Peter knows what he is doing and is very good at it. TRUST HIS PROCESS. Having this charge against me was tremendously stressful and talking to Peter since Day 1, it felt like he understood very well what I was going through emotionally. Early on he assured me that no matter the outcome of the trial or my case, things would be okay in the end. Peter not only expertly managed my case both in and outside of the courtroom, but he was very personable. I chose to go with The SoCal Law Network because they have experience dealing with professional licensing boards. And for these reasons, I would highly recommend The SoCal Law Network to any family and friends. I hate that I was in this situation, but I was thankful to have The SoCal Law Network on my side. TL;DR - Had DUI charges, went to trial, not clear cut win, was acquitted - Managed to keep driver’s license - Peter is an expert in this field - Peter is compassionate and empathetic - had dealt with professional licensing boards - TRUST HIS PROCESS - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

On September 29, 2019 I was charged with dui with hit and and run. My neighbor had blocked half of my driveway with his car and as I backed out I scraped his bumper. I was charged with DUI and hit and run even though I Was there. I found Peter here at AVVO.com and we talked. I believed him when he said he could help me through this. I was worried beyond belief of losing my license etc... I trusted him and he and his team came through like it was my life on the line! ! He guided me on the issues, kept in constant communication and was always there when I needed to talk. It was a first time for me so I was scared, but I trusted him. I couldn’t be more happy I did. I had a very positive result with no hit and run charge, no dui charge only driving while intoxicated which was amazing considering the options. He’s a local attorney in Laguna hills and his team which includes Marlo and Alan all stood firm and not only walked me through this unfortunate incident but worked their Magic for me. I highly suggest you talk to Peter because the other 5 dui attorneys did not even answer or return my calls! You gotta trust this guy! He’s amazing and knows his way around the court system and procedures!

Allen castello is great!The best attorney I have worked with.A++

“Alan Castillo is a beacon of hope to my family at a time when our options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed nigh on impossible. Not only is he able to defend us, he’s calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional succor to myself and those I care about most. My family and I are eternally grateful for he's service and I hereby recommend Mr. Alan Castillo without reservation.”

I want to thank Peter and his team at the SoCal Law Network. A friend recommended this firm and it was a fantastic decision. I was stopped when I when into a DUI checkpoint. I chose to do a blood test and spent the night in jail. My blood came back at .08%. I have a clean driving record and this was the first time I have ever had legal trouble. I only interviewed one firm, based on the recommendation. As a result, I received a wet reckless from the civil hearing and the DMV set aside the DUI after Peter proved to the hearing judge and expert witness that I scientifically couldn't have a blood alcohol of .08% and that it was less than the legal limit. Lesson learned, never drink and drive.

Highly skilled, always picks up my calls and goes the extra mile for you. Lawyers that actually care about the outcome, very rare! Highly recommended!
