Consultation

During a very difficult time, Mr. Lastra was able to answer all of the questions I brought to the table in regards to my divorce. He is thorough, knowledgeable, and put my mind at ease. I knew from the moment I walked out of the consultation that he was the right lawyer to take on my case.

I couldn't have asked for a better representation.

I had an attorney prior to Mr Lastra and i was not getting positive results. Mr. Lastra initially appeared knowledgeable, when in fact we went beyond knowledge. The preparation of my case was exceptional, his experience contested his knowledge, the application of the law and the understanding of my s...ituation. Mr. Lastra is a professional, who's determination in my difficult divorce case showed me hope of a final resolution. Before i consulted and hired other attorneys, but his strategy showed me that i could win my case as i hoped. A zealous defense is what I needed something that Mr. Lastra provided for me, he is friendly, treated me with dignity, i dont know how i would have coped without his support. For me it was important feel understood; understand my witnesses, my evidence in my native language spanish; with Mr. Lastra i did, he is fully bilingual, and his fees are reasonable consider the caliber of representation that i received. I’m a lawyer with license in my native country and i must say that I deeply and truly admire him I would recommend Mr. Lastra to my close friends, family, to anyone, i cannot imagine another attorney representing me in the future than Mr. Lastra.

Trusted Family Law Attorney

I hired Mr Lastra for a divorce which involved a prenuptial agreement. This agreement was vital for the outcome of my divorce and the other side was trying to have it set aside. Mr Lastra expertly proved to the judge why this was a valid agreement and should be upheld. The judge agreed with all of... his points and upheld the agreement. I believe under the circumstances he made the process as smooth as possible. He was always thoughtful and professional in our dealings. I would highly recommend Mr Lastra for any family law matters.

When done correctly, a deal is a deal period. Thank you Mark for choosing me to help in keeping the promises made in a valid contract.

Patient and thorough!

Had a lot of questions about a divorce agreement, and needed a trustworthy attorney to explain the process. It was a small job, but Carlos took the time to go over the agreement in detail and didn’t skip anything while answering all the questions I had with patience and grace. I highly recommend Mr.... Lastra without reservations.

Excellent Divorce Attorney

Mr. Lastra is a very compassionate and knowledgeable attorney. He goes above and beyond for his clients and truly cares about the outcome of their cases. He helped me to equitably extricate me from a very abusive marriage.
