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.

An excellent family law, divorce lawyer in the Rockville Area

Mr Lastra has helped me get through a process of divorce, child care and custody and alimony with wonderful results. He is thorough, caring and does his best for the client. I have had favaorable outcomes in my case each step of the way due to his work. He has seen to it that my children have been p...rotected and helped through the process also. He made child support possible. I recommend him highly and without reservations. A good lawyer, along with his firm to have on your side in family law matters.

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.

I highly recommend Mr. Lastra

Mr. Lastra joined my team of attorneys in the middle of my divorce because of his extensive knowledge and experience with domestic violence and protective orders as they relate to divorce. He was extremely responsive to my needs and exceeded my expectations in both his work and the outcome. Once we g...ot to court, it was obvious to everyone he was the smartest guy in the room. My spouse, opposing counsel and the judge quickly realized he was on top of everything, and their dirty tricks were not going to succeed. The outcome was favorable even beyond my attorneys' expectations. Even after we won and avoided further litigation, Mr. Lastra went the extra yards to gather more evidence to use in the future to prove my spouse has no credibility and help prove our side of the story. Mr. Lastra is a member of the best family law firm in Montgomery County because he is one of the best family law attorneys in the county.

Thank you for your review. I was glad I was able to implement my extensive criminal defense trial background in assisting you in defending against these false domestic violence allegations. Its always important to preserve evidence when you can to not only win a potential future fight, but perhaps avoid it altogether. As the old saying goes every battle is won or lost before its ever fought. Best of luck to you.

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.
