Excellent Consultation

Once I realized that a custody battle was inevitable, I sought counsel from several attorneys. I ultimately decided to hire Attorney Carlos Lastra, shortly after our initial consultation. The reason is that during our consultation, Carlos provided me with several potential strategies, with substantia...l detail about how the laws work in these matters. What’s more, beyond a mastery of family law, Carlos is empathetic and puts himself in the position of his clients. This is particularly important as it allowed me to make the most informed decision to optimize time, resources, and desired outcomes. While I would not wish a custody battle on my worst enemy, I cannot recommend Carlos highly enough if you should find yourself in this situation. A consummate professional, with a distinct style that combines legal might and diplomacy, you can rest assured that Carlos has your best interest in mind.

Truly excellent

Mr. Lastra’s help was really exceptional. From our first meeting, I could tell that he was very experienced and was used to navigating very complicated matters. He was very well prepared, courteous and knowledgeable. He really made me feel at ease and his approachable demeanor made me feel at ease.... He was able to understand the unique aspects of my situation and his approach was very refreshing. He gave me some solid advice that I have already implemented. I will definitely be using his services.

Top Maryland Family Law attorney

As a client, I hold attorney Lastra in high regard. He is highly skilled in his specialized legal area, where focus, attention to detail, and maintaining panoramic understanding is paramount. Carlos is personable and adds sincerity to litigation. As an attorney, he effectively manages subordinate sta...ff, and has the ability to compartment, delegate making him valuable in politically impactful cases. A gentleman as well, Carlos is a welcome addition to Washington.

A Great Attorney and Firm

Carlos represented me well. He has the ability to lay out all of the different ways to approach a case in layman's terms. He kept me calm and confident throughout very stressful situations. I was so pleased with Carlos and his team that I began referring my personal business' corporate legal need...s to his firm for employment law and contract guidance.
