About Castle & Associates Barristers & Solicitors

Family Law and Litigation

Castle & Associates maintains a respected and reliable legal practice in Calgary. We are fully engaged in the work we do, both in how it affects the lives of our clients and in how it may change Alberta law. We value our place in the Alberta legal community and respect other members of our profession. We feel our practice is distinct, however, because of several key elements that include:

Our focus is on the goal

Legal strategies we employ are designed to achieve the best results possible for clients. We take legal steps that meet our clients' legal needs while still meeting goals of expediency and efficiency.

We keep you informed. All members of our team, including our front office staff and legal counsel, are dedicated to high-quality client care. When you need an update on your case, someone will be available to give you answers.

Our work is cutting edge

We choose cases that pose challenging social and legal questions. We are proud of the work we have done that has forged new legal ground for Albertans, particularly in the areas of same-sex relationships and elder law.

We know the court system

We are family law litigators who have appeared in all three levels of Alberta courts: Provincial Court, Court of Queen's Bench and Court of Appeal. Our lawyers have nearly 60 years of courtroom experience between them and frequently appear before prominent Alberta judges.

You will feel comfortable as our clients

Many people are unfamiliar with the legal system and intimidated by the process. We are experienced legal professionals. We will make you feel at ease with your legal case and will give you the advice and guidance you need.

Our practice areas include solicitors' work, such as the drafting of legal agreements, as well as litigation, which involves dispute resolution both inside and outside of a courtroom. To learn more about how we can help you, we encourage you to contact our office.

The staff was professional and responsive. I worked with Preet Sandhu on my case. Everything was completed in a timely manner and we achieved the result I had hoped for. I would use Castle and Associates again.

I wish I could say good things about Diann β€”Β she gave me a considerable amount of comfort the first time I met her. Diann made me feel that she was more interested in my emotional and mental stability through the process, than the money. Unfortunately, her poor reputation in court caused me an incredible amount of stress. She was unable to stand up for me when I needed her, and her associate was left to litigate for me; and further, she made excuses and wouldn't take responsibility. When I wanted to discuss it with her, she went silent and wouldn't respond to me. I would never recommend Diann.

I hired Alexandra to help me get an updated Parenting Order in place as the current one no longer reflects my current living situation. Alex was well aware that it is a time sensitive issue but after nearly 4 months of her working on my file and next to nothing done on my file I terminated her relations to my file. It was nearly impossible to reach her and when I did I was heavily over charged. I picked up my file today with a few searches done (fair charges) and a cheque for $300 left from the initial ($3000) retainer. But no work done?? Where did all the retainer go? I found if I would send a quick email with a question it not only took days to get a response and never once did I get just a fast email back to answer my question it always came as letter form (HIGHER REVENUE). It's quite disappointing having to follow up with your lawyer on emails you sent days ago when they are hired to represent your best interests. I also found out that when I would call the receptionist (Brittany), would tell me one thing and then when I finally did hear from Alex I was told something completely different. It is a disappointment working with a lawyer who is more concerned about revenue then the lives of the people she is hired to help. I do not recommend hiring this firm. Working with Alex was an incredible waste of time and money and I plan to further this review and have somebody look into the work and client care that comes from this firm, especially directly from Alex.

I hired Dianne.I wouldn't recommend her what so ever! When I fired her she cried and asked if I was threatening her.I told her to grow up. The billing was something else as well. We all know now that who ever has the kids wins hands down.The lawyers know this but pry on your emotions.Its sickening how they will kick you when your down.If your spouse has the kids and especially doesn't work you might as well bend over cause your going to loose 70 percent of your net income,even if you had Johnnie Cochrane. The lawyers all know this it's a big joke they ask what do you want for the adult that has the kids because they know they can have it all.I don't know how they live with a rigged game and pretend to be ligetimate but it all pays well doesn't it. Further to the comment below Dianne was responsible for court and the agreement not the other lawyer.

Cori Mercier from Castle & Associates has been a diligent, organized and effective lawyer in my case. She has a sound knowledge of the family law legal system and how to navigate it for her clients. She has always been polite and respectful and I felt that she listened to me and always responded in a timely manner. Lourdes Garcia was also extremely friendly, professional and supportive and they both made a big difference in helping me feel confident that my legal case was being taken care of in the best possible way. Nobody wants to have to use family law lawyers and they made the process much easier. I would recommend this firm.

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.

Diane Castle is the principal of Castle and Associates. Diane is highly regarded in the legal community and is known to be an excellent lawyer. Her associate, Ashley Wilson is also an excellent lawyer. Ashley is extremely pleasant, very knowledgable, she is very thorough and diligent. The quality of Ashley's work is excellent and she works really hard to achieve success for her clients. I highly recommend Ashley and the law firm Castle and Associates.

Diann Castle. She represented me when my father passed away. She also has represented my Father in the past so I thought I could trust her, but after noticing numerous RED FLAGS with her for example - I was not provided any information regarding the associated costs and how it was going to be implemented (hourly, phone calls, emails, etc.)prior to invoicing. Even tried Confirming with her and no reply. Also usually before a lawyer agrees to act on behalf of a client, a retainer agreement is required. I did not sign any such document/contract prior to commencement/Billing. After thoroughly reviewing the invoice (after having to ask for a detailed summary), I noticed numerous miscalculations based on my call records. This lead me to believe that the evaluations on the remaining items to also be inaccurate. Do Not Hire DIANN CASTLE!!!!!! unless you have stupid amounts of money to toss away
