Professional, knowledged, experienced.

Carlos is everything he is depicted as in all rating and reviews, my experience but proving them all to be true. Hoping to avoid the extent of a full blown trial I started with what I read to be the best and most aggressive lawyer I could find. I put my sons life in Carlos' hands trusting he will gui...de me through the process in order to win full custody of my son, which thankfully we did. I am every so grateful to Carlos for having given me his full respect and attention in spite my young age. I felt always prepared and well rehearsed for every court appearance and he was timely in keeping me informed throughout. He is noticeably respected in the courtroom, holds professional relations with judges and masters and appears to be well known in the legal community. His professionalism and extensive knowledge of the law are more than reassuring. I felt confident in his representation and his ability to convey, then award me the custody I was seeking. Granted, rates are high but worth every penny in order to win my case and more so for having settled months before our trial date.

Highly Recommended

Carlos Lastra guided me though a non-contested, no-trial divorce which was my desire and was to the benefit of all parties. His professionalism was impeccable. He was well organized, thorough and responded quickly. He was an attentive listener and communicated clearly. Obviously, going though a divo...rce is an extremely personal and painful process. I found Carlos to be kind, very respectful and never judgmental. I give him my highest recommendation.

Family Attorney and Confidant

Carlos was referred to me in 2016 after my mom passed away. He has handled 3 cases for my family since then and he is a trusted advisor. He takes his time to explain implications, your rights, and alternatives. I am so appreciative of his advice.

A true advocate.

Mr. Lastra was assigned my case about 48 hours prior to taking my husband's deposition. I was very nervous, but his confident (but not cocky) manner rapidly gained my trust and respect. He was prepared for the deposition and did an excellent job of securing the information required. Something ...that I particularly appreciated was that he frequently told me WHY he was going to pursue a particular line of questioning. That knowledge made it easier for me to stay more focused (and less emotional), taking notes for more in-depth questioning later in the session. He shared strategies with me when appropriate so that I had a more complete overview and therefore understood what he/we were trying to accomplish. He was also sure to share why he was handling things a certain way, again making me more comfortable with the process. I felt that my input was appreciated and that I was on a team with Mr. Lastra and the rest of the firm advocating on my behalf. Mr. Lastra was very aware of how difficult the process was for me emotinoally, and he went out of his way to call for a break when necessary. He is exceptionally approachable and has a good sense of humor that made an ugly situation more palatable. He patiently and thoroughly answered questions about the process, often alleviating my significant anxiety. Mr. Lastra told me what was reasonable and expected when negotiating a settlement. He advised me as to the pros and cons of my case going to trial (vs. reaching an agreement through mediation). Based on my experience, I highly recommend Mr. Lastra as a divorce attorney.

Divorce is stressful and not easy. Put into the mix the normal stress of the fear of the unknown and you have a potentially bad situation if not dealt with properly and timely. Knowledge is power and knowing what is going on reduces stress. I do this for all my clients because this is important for them and me; so that I can have a prepared client, which leads to good results. I wish you all the best for your future.

Excellent Family Law Attorney

Mr. Lastra developed an early stratedy for summary disposition of the litigation and then carried it out with a clear understanding of the issues and the applicable law. He kept me well informed as to the plan and his court room presentation was clear and concise resulting in an early disposition in ...my favor. I highly recommend him as a family lawyer attorney.

The earlier I can see a client the better because its better to be proactive then reactive. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to implement the right plan for you for the right result. All the best.
