Tough and adroit

We commend Carlos Lastra for his outstanding representation offer legal interests in recent child custody proceedings before the DC Superior Court Paley Rothman was the second firm retained by our family following a series of inconclusive legal skirmishes. It was clear to us that what was required wa...s a proactive and skilled challenge to attempts to gain control over the child's life, including prompt responses to numerous filings, intensive discovery and ultimately a well-orchestrated trial strategy involving numerous witnesses and cross-examination. We found such a combination of toughness and adroit trial skills in Mr. Lastra who was always willing to meet the diverse requirements of the case.

Consultation with Carlos

During my consultation, Carlos was extremely professional, personable, and seemingly an expert in Maryland family law. During my consultation, he put my anxieties over my custody battle at ease by providing realistic results and a plan of how to best achieve them. We are currently nearing the end of ...my custody case. If you are looking for a diligent, strong-willed lawyer to not only guide you through your custody battle, but also stand behind you each step of the way, I highly recommend considering Carlos Lastra.

Brilliant Attorney!

Carlos is a brilliant attorney! He is very well versed in family law and his attention to detail is impeccable. I really admire the strategic manner in which Carlos aims to accomplish his client’s goals; everything he does has a specific purpose. My case involved a complex interstate custody issue wi...th a very uncooperative spouse, who did not want to disclose any financial information. Carlos was able to get me the due process I deserved and a very favorable judgement that included a fair custody arrangement, child support and attorney’s fees. Carlos is just an overall great guy; he truly listens to his clients, provides realistic expectations and is dedicated to delivering the best possible outcome. I would not hesitate to work with Carlos in the future and would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a family law attorney
