Thanks to Mike, my situation was resolved. No more losing sleep

I received a speeding ticket on the Long Island expressway (97mph on a 55mph zone) this was my FIRST ever moving violation but one that would suspend my license as it was 40mph over the limit. I called about 6 lawyers and as soon as I mentioned my speed and the dreaded “suffolk county court” they ALL would tell me the same thing, “toughest county in the state of NY your license will be suspended no ands if or buts, the best thing I can do for you is reduce your suspension from a potential 6 months to 3 months maybe 2 if you plead guilty and we don’t go to trial” I had lost all hope as I kept hearing the same thing from all these other lawyers, basically pay them to plead guilty (I thought to myself for that I just save my money and plead guilty on my own) but then I came across Brian Trodden he told me it was going to be tough to get the points reduce, let alone bring it down to zero (which is what I was hoping) but that he will try his very best….FINALLY a lawyer who gave me a glimmer of hope. At my suspension hearing he was able to get my full suspension down to a restricted license, that alone for me was a BIG WIN specially in suffolk county court. Fast forward 3 months to my court hearing (today) and the Police officer who gave me the ticket made his appearance in court (I saw our chances of winning dwindle in front of my eyes) the officer gave his testimony, Brian proceeded to cross check the officer. Long story short….Brian was able to find a discrepancy that left BOTH the officer and prosecutor in AWE!! The judge DISMISSED MY CASE! Not only was my Driver License suspension lifted with ZERO POINTS but Brian also saved me from hundreds if not thousands of dollars in court fees & fines. As the Judge got up from her chair she looked at me and said to me “You got yourself a great attorney” Yes indeed. Brian I could never thank you enough, I hope I would never have to call you for another traffic violation but I will be referring you to everyone I know! You’re the ABSOLUTE BEST! Thank you so much!

I first met Mike over a decade ago. Over the years he's helped with a number of legal situations. Prompt clear responses, everything always plainly explained, and every situation turned out better than expected. While not always under the best circumstances, it's always pleasure to work with Mike and his firm. I've also had personal referrals report back the same experience and results. Give him a call, find out for yourself.

I had a great experience with Brian Trodden. He was available on short notice and at all kinds of hours; super easy to communicate with. He under promised and over delivered; our charges were dismissed! I highly recommend him!

To whom this may concern. This review is for a gentleman named. name Bryant Trodden. He is an excellent lawyer. Well spoken and very well educated. Got back to me immediately. I never had to wait and all my questions were answered. When I did not understand, he explained the way that I could. He made everything seem so easy. Soft-spoken and is an asset to any firm. I would use him again for any problems I come across. Thank you very much for helping me with my sons situation. I wish you the best of luck. Thank you for making me feel protected and guiding me in the right direction. Bless you Brian.

Mr. Trodden is an excellent lawyer and a good person. I had a traffic matter which needed dealing with. He sets clear expectations from the beginning, but also listened to my feedback and input, really a rarity these days. Ultimately, a best case result was reached. Highly recommended!

I recently, had to go to court to address a criminal traffic violation. I was urged by the judge to seek legal counsel and .Mike Castro was assigned to my case. Mr. Castro is an amazing human being and consummate professional. I was going to accept a plea that would have been unfavorable. He did an amazing job of explaining my rights to me and providing me with better options. Mr. Castro advocated on my behalf and got my charges reduced significantly beyond what I expected. His attentive and impeccable service helped me to smoothly overcome a challenging misfortune Prayerfully I will not need legal representation anytime soon, but in the unfortunate situation that I do, I am fortunate that I know know Mr Castro! I would reach out to him and his team in a heartbeat to handle my legal situation!

Brian Trodden is one of the best lawyers. He helped me with one of the most stressful situations I have ever dealt with in my life. Someone stealing my identity and using using my name in traffic tickets. All charges were dropped and my name was cleared!

Mike Castro is a man I’d like to describe as determined, hardworking, attentive, and goes above and beyond what’s asked of him. My situation Castro was able to get the outcome we were looking for at the end of case, not always in life we get what we want but with Castro & Trodden you can bet they’ll move mountains to get it. I can’t thank Mike Castro and his fantastic team enough I’d recommend Castro & Trodden LLC to just about anyone looking for highly skilled attorneys. If you want the best results/outcome go with one of the most respected attorneys on Long Island Castro & Trodden LLC!

Mr. Castro did an excellent job handling my case, I would definitely recommended to a friend or family member.

I had the pleasure of working with Brian when I was victimized by the Suffolk County TPVA. The gentleman at the initial hearing desk was very impatient and my complicated situation was sensitive. I knew I wouldn’t be able to get through to the agency alone, so I asked my grandmother - a paralegal for many years - if she had any references. Brian came strongly recommended and demonstrated an outstanding defense on my behalf resulting in a win after a heated hour long debate. If you don’t wanna mess around with your freedom being compromised, hire Brian as your defense attorney.

Brian is one of the most clutch lawyers out there. I was stupid and missed my whole trial date for a 80/55 speeding ticket and he saved me - not only dropping the fines for the missed trial date but even lowering the ticket to a simple parking violation. I got no points and just a fine when in reality I could've had a bench warrant out for me for missing court! Highly recommend.
