Firm Summary

Jose Mariano Castillo has been the legal counsel for the Governments of Spain, Chile, Argentina and Honduras in Southern California for over 20 years. In that capacity, he provides legal services to their Consulates General and Trade Offices in Southern California and their respective Embassies in Washington DC.

Jose Mariano Castillo offers legal services to foreign nationals from Latin America and Spain in Southern California in all matters relating to business transactions, probate and estate planning, as well as family law and immigration matters.

For the first time in its history, the Central American nation of Honduras is naming a school after a living person, Los Angeles attorney Jose Mariano Castillo.

After forging a successful practice in international, business, and family law, Mr. Castillo undertook to bring modern educational opportunities to his hometown, San Jose de Colinas.

One of the first from his town to graduate high school in Tegucigalpa, the nation’s capital, followed by a BA from UCLA and a law degree from Southwestern University of Law, Mr. Castillo vowed to raise the educational standard of San Jose de Colinas. The only public education available in the town of 14,000 people is vocational training, and Mr. Castillo focused on creating a college preparatory school for its children.

Creating a bi-lingual (Spanish-English) school for its first class of 64 youngsters, most of whom have never left the region, Mr. Castillo has seen to it that the school is equipped with the most advanced educational technology and best-trained teachers.

In recognition of Mr. Castillo’s achievement, the Honduran Ministry of Education elected to name the school after him, a rare honor in his native country.
