Obviously, Attorneys' fees are what a client spends to secure a result and/or defend against someone else allegations. I am glad that I was able to secure the amounts you paid from the opposing party. Thank you for your review.

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 Great support and systematic divorce lawyer in the Washington Area

BRILLIANT ATTORNEY WHO DELIVERS

Carlos Lastra recently handled my custody and divorce case. I feel that I am lucky to have him on my side. His knowledge of the law and of my case, attention to detail, preparedness, hard work and presence in the courtroom easily won the case for me. I am impressed by his excellent professionalism... and ethical standards he constantly displays. Overall, his conduct and achievement put him in a category well above the lawyers I had hired before and above the ones working on behalf of the opposing party. I highly recommend him. He will not let you down.

Superb Attorney

I worked with Mr. Lastra in a contested child custody case that went to trial. He was unfailingly professional, prepared, and -most unusually- available. His careful work, especially in a series of masterful depositions, helped methodically lay out the facts in our case and ferret out a series of lie...s. The careful presentation of these facts at trial then lead to positive decision that was beyond what we had, in our conservative estimate, sought. I found Mr. Lastra to be a great partner during what was a very difficult time; I have recommended him to several friends who have also reported excellent experiences and results. A great attorney.

Thank you for recommending me to your friends based on your experience. Preparation and hard work are key to doing well at Trial, including leading up to your day in Court. I am glad to know that the strategy worked well in your matter and secured even better results than anticipated. Thank you for taking the time to let me know.
