Consultation

I had a productive consultation with Mr. Lastra and plan on using him in the future. He is very direct, concise, and will not waste your time.

Full service and support when it was needed.

I was fortunate to have been referred to Mr. Lastra when I needed expert professionalism. At the beginning of my case, I hadn't yet realized the extent of my need, and thankfully he was prepared to handle each new, and sometimes unexpected, detail that arose. Carlos handled my case start to finish th...rough a lengthy and difficult process from initial consultation through litigation. He was well prepared each time we met and each time we interacted with other parts of the system. He was highly knowledgeable of the applicable law, as demonstrated in our own interactions and those with other representatives of the the system. This preparation was also apparent as he made sure that applicable law and practice were explained to me at each step of the way. His discretion was impeccable when it came to making decisions on whether to move with decisive action or to take a more circumspect approach. Because he handled the case so expertly and professionally, I was able to focus on caring for myself and family during a challenging time.

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.

Outstanding Attorney for Family Matters

Carlos Lastra was extremely thorough and provided great service on my difficult custody case. He helped me understand the peculiarities of my case and how it was impacted by case law. I would highly recommend Carlos Lastra and his firm, Paley Rothman, for any family matter.

Excellent Lawyer!

Carlos is very knowledgeable, thorough and extremely prepared for court. He was very good at preparing me for the deposition and court, which made me feel less stressed. He was very good at communicating with me to make sure I was apprised of not only the process, but also the status. He explains ...the legal jargon and breaks down documents so that I understand their meaning and all my options. This is important, because it gave me the ability to make an informed decision based off legal facts and not emotions. Carlos is very considerate of the high cost of legal fees and ensures that he is working in the most cost efficient way to get me the most favorable outcome, spending the least amount of money necessary. He is very caring while maintaining a professional manner. I have had a few lawyers and Carlos is by far the best lawyer I have ever had. I trust Carlos, because I know everything will be taken care of and I do not have to worry when he is on the case.
