Denver judge awards more than $ 1.9 million to attorney, businesses accused by state of price gouging during nation's foreclosure crisis A Denver judge on Friday awarded more than $ 1.9 million to attorney Larry Castle and two associated businesses, who successfully defended themselves against state allegations of price gouging during the nation's foreclosure crisis. The judgment for attorneys' fees is small compared with the $ 26 million the state sought against Castle, his lawyer wife, Caren, the Castle Law Group and the two companies, Absolute Posting & Process Services and Colorado American Title, for allegedly puffing fees and other expenses while handling the bulk of the foreclosure work across the state over several years.
