Callie Castillo is an accomplished litigator and appellate advocate. Having spent over a decade advising and defending public officials and agencies in constitutional and complex litigation, Callie successfully guides clients through myriad forms of legal challenge including commercial litigation; consumer protection, antitrust, and regulatory defense; payor-provider disputes; wage and hour class actions; and state and local tax controversies. She also has substantial experience briefing and arguing appeals on a wide range of issues before the Washington Court of Appeals, the Washington Supreme Court, and the Ninth Circuit.  

Callie also provides clients with strategic counsel during investigations and on legislation, regulatory, and public policy issues, with particular emphasis on the highly regulated industries of healthcare, transportation, building and construction, and telecommunications.

When Callie is not helping clients navigate legal challenges, she can usually be found in the stands of various high school football fields cheering on her husband (as a coach) and teenage son (as a player). Callie also volunteers as a coach for high school mock trial teams.
