“With Commissioner Castor’s experience especially responding to crisis as they arise and his proven ability to make rapid decisions and provide timely advice, our firm will be tailor made to his strengths,” said Lance Rogers, of Rogers and Associates. “This is over and above Bruce’s extensive courtroom experience and unparalleled knowledge of trial tactics and strategy.”

A graduate of Lafayette College and Washington and Lee University School of Law, Castor said he wasn’t planning to leave Elliott Greenleaf, but is honored to join a firm with such “youthful, new, innovated ideas, and an established clientele."

“Lance represents his clients with such zeal it appealed to me strongly because his fervor matches my own so closely that I couldn’t resist his enthusiasm and commitment,” Castor said.  “This is a great opportunity for us, but more importantly, it is what I want for our clients.”

Rogers and Associates is a full-service firm representing international corporations, Fortune 1000 companies, professional athletes, high-end automotive dealers, and others.

The pair, who says they are “excited to unite our diverse talents and experiences,” also have a political background in common.

Castor has made a statewide name for himself as a Republican candidate, most recently exploring a Gubernatorial run against Tom Corbett in the Republican Primary, but decided against it.

In 2008, Rogers ran against then-state Representative Daylin Leach to fill a State Senate seat vacated by Connie Williams; Leach won the contest. Rogers also served as a Lower Merion Commissioner.
