Prosecutors say millions were needlessly charged to homeowners, banks and taxpayers
One of Colorado’s top foreclosure lawyers on Tuesday tearfully described being forced to sell her multi-million-dollar home in Centennial — “The house I thought I would die in” — in order to pay lawyers defending her and her firm against a state lawsuit alleging they saddled struggling homeowners with millions in concocted costs.
In a twist of irony, Caren Castle — whose Castle Law Group helped foreclose on thousands of Coloradans during the height of the mortgage crisis — testified that the costs of defending herself and her lawyer husband, Larry Castle, against the state’s four-year investigation and ensuing lawsuit pushed her to sell their palatial 11,439-square-foot home “for much less than I thought I’d sell the house I thought I would die in.”
The three-story, seven-car-garage home in the town of Foxfield in eastern Arapahoe County is replete with a fully equipped gymnasium and an outdoor pool with tennis courts on 2 acres of land and sold in November 2016 for more than $2.4 million, records show.

I was one of their victims. Larry Castle did much more than stated in the article. As a Trustee he got a bill passed that makes CO unique among the nation, whereas it does not require the original paperwork be presented to the courts before taking your home. All that is now required, thanks to Larry Castle, is a paper signed by an attorney stating they have seen the paperwork & it’s all legal & in order!
I bet Larry & Caren weren’t left completely homeless like those of us whose homes they helped steal. (They own property in other countries, too).
May they lose EVERYTHING (like I did at 60 y/o), & rot in hell.
They deserve no less.
Every time legal reasoning is based upon “It is true your honor, and you can believe me because I’m an attorney and I say it is” more likely than not they’re lying.
I have no sympathy whatsoever for the Castles, et. al.
