Consultation

During a very difficult time, Mr. Lastra was able to answer all of the questions I brought to the table in regards to my divorce. He is thorough, knowledgeable, and put my mind at ease. I knew from the moment I walked out of the consultation that he was the right lawyer to take on my case.

I couldn't have asked for a better representation.

I had an attorney prior to Mr Lastra and i was not getting positive results. Mr. Lastra initially appeared knowledgeable, when in fact we went beyond knowledge. The preparation of my case was exceptional, his experience contested his knowledge, the application of the law and the understanding of my s...ituation. Mr. Lastra is a professional, who's determination in my difficult divorce case showed me hope of a final resolution. Before i consulted and hired other attorneys, but his strategy showed me that i could win my case as i hoped. A zealous defense is what I needed something that Mr. Lastra provided for me, he is friendly, treated me with dignity, i dont know how i would have coped without his support. For me it was important feel understood; understand my witnesses, my evidence in my native language spanish; with Mr. Lastra i did, he is fully bilingual, and his fees are reasonable consider the caliber of representation that i received. I’m a lawyer with license in my native country and i must say that I deeply and truly admire him I would recommend Mr. Lastra to my close friends, family, to anyone, i cannot imagine another attorney representing me in the future than Mr. Lastra.

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.

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.
