Smart, Compassionate, Professional

Mr Lastra was called specifically to represent me in a contentious divorce with parenting plan, support, and domestic violence complexities. During our consultation appointment, he listened intently with compassion. Asked thoughtful, pertinent questions and laid out a progression plan. He was clam, c...oncise and practical. I definitely will hire him.

Professional and Informative

Mr. Lastra was extremely professional and informative as I knew very little about the legal process for divorce. He specifically explained what is allowed when it comes to divorce for Maryland, Virginia, and DC. He also clearly laid out the need to assess value of property and assets before and aft...er marriage, providing advice on what homework needs to be done in advance.

Wonderful experience with the Carlos Lastra and his team.

Carlos Lastra and his team are true professionals. At the start of my divorce process I anticipated a nerve racking experience and possible rising anxiety. While my wife and I spoke of a collaborative effort in finalizing our divorce, I did not want thing to get contentious. With Mr. Lastra as my c...ouncil I was in extremely good hands. He walked me through the process in a thoughtful, deliberate and patient manner while keeping stressors in check. The outcome was exactly what I had envisioned. I am very pleased and would highly recommend his team and services.

Child Custody Win

I hired Mr. Lastra to assist me in divorcing my abusive husband and gaining custody of my two daughters. My very first impression of Mr. Lastra was through my initial phone conversation with his legal assistant. The first questions asked of me were about my wellbeing and safety, which stood out from ...my phone calls with other law firms who started the conversation around money. Mr. Lastra has been carefully considerate of the nuances of my case since day one, and he has also proven to be intelligent, resourceful, and capable. He was particularly sensitive about unique aspects of my cultural background and took care to better understand them as well. Mr. Lastra's performance in court also stood out to me because he was well prepared and adapted quickly to unexpected circumstances. Ultimately, Mr. Lastra was successful in winning full legal and physical custody of my children for me. I would absolutely recommend Mr. Lastra to anyone looking for a reputable, reliable divorce attorney.
