Excellent divorce attorney

I hired Carlos after an unsuccessful attempt to finalize my divorce in a different jurisdiction. After consulting with Carlos, I was confident he would get the job done. I was impressed by his professionalism and knowledge. Unlike other ‘experienced’ attorneys with whom I consulted, Carlos was abl...e to recite the law, to my difficult questions, without referring to law books. To say my divorce was challenging, would be an understatement. Carlos worked tirelessly and left no stones unturned. For each court appearance, he was prepared for any and all possible issues and outcomes. Carlos simply leaves nothing to chance. My divorce went to trial and this is where Carlos really shines. His performance was impressive, and he left the opposing side speechless. In a grueling three-day trial Carlos effectively demonstrated that my assets should be preserved. Carlos presentation and ability resulted in the judge ruling in my favor. I could not have been more pleased with the outcome and Carlos' performance and ability. After the trial, Carlos learned about a program that would benefit my business and he immediately called me to share the details. He genuinely cares about his clients. I now consider Carlos a friend and I highly recommend Carlos, especially for the difficult divorces.

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

I value your opinion and review. Preparation of the client is just as important as preparation by the lawyer. I am glad the work we did on your case met your needs.

A lawyer with a good heart and a good mind

Carlos Lastra was highly recommended to me by a friend. I was fortunate to have a friend who could give me a recommendation for such a competent attorney. My situation revolved around domestic abuse in several states, which complicated my case. Mr. Lastra's knowledge provided me with a solid posit...ion regarding jurisdiction. He anticipated the opposition I might have encountered and developed a strategy to block it quickly and effectively. In court he competently presented my position because he was fully prepared and well organized. He explained his charges clearly and described some actions he took to minimize my costs. During my meetings with him, I felt he always focused on what was best for me during and after the divorce. Mr. Lastra is an attorney with a good heart and a good mind. Having worked for attorneys, I recognized Mr. Lastra's skill, organization and integrity. I recommend him without reservation to anyone needing a family law attorney.

Domestic abuse/violence cases are tough and then throw various jurisdictions and you have the potential for bigger problems. I am very thankful for your review and that we were able to implement a strategy to get you a successful outcome.
