Consultation With Mr. Lastra

Mr. Lastra is an extremely knowledgeable lawyer with a lot of experience in family law. The consultation with him gave me a strong assurance of his capabilities and gave me ease of mind. Everything he said was clear, concise, and to the point.

The Best Family Law Lawyer

Tough, extremely smart and dependable. When looking for a family law lawyer to represent me against my lawyer husband and his notoriously harsh family law lawyer I was told by an attorney that if my husband hired ——- “he wants a blood bath, not a divorce”. This was 100% true. Carlos turned very bad s...atiations around and gave me hope and positive movement out of what was my very worst of times. He is very smart, honest and very tough. He stands up to bullies with intelligence and without allowing them to paint you into a horrible person that you aren not.

Best Custody Lawyer in Maryland

Carlos handled my difficult custody case. He began strategizing right from the start of our consultation and proved throughout the case to be a master of family law. Mediation could have been a game of manipulation by my ex, but Carlos had prepared me for everything and protected my child’s best inte...rest throughout. Carlos thought of everything drew up a strong all encompassing agreement. I honestly believe Carlos is the reason we are able to co-parent so well. I can’t thank Carlos enough.

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.
