She get things done

Attorney Laster was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout my case. She never made promises but she always stated she would put her best foot forward. She gave me the blueprint and executed on her plan. Thank you so much for helping. I couldn’t have asked for a better Lawyer. I would recommend her... to anyone.

Excellent

I hired Attorney Laster to handle my divorce and let me tell you that she exceeded my expectations. She was always on time and easy to contact. For whatever situation where I might need representation again it would definitely be Attorney Laster hands down.

Consistent, Thorough, Professional

I have worked with Attorney Laster for over 10 years on a child custody case. She has shown herself to be a counselor who sticks to her words. She works hard all the time and has always been at her best for in and out court appearances. H

Outstanding

People don’t generally have great things to say about attorneys until they need one. At some the most difficult times in my divorce and custody struggles Earlean was voice reason and calm when I thought the worse was coming. I appreciated her knowledge of the process as well as her experience with in...dividual judges, commissioners, and other attorneys. She was a fierce advocate when I felt like my rights as father was being minimized by the courts and a compassionate advisor when attempting to find a fair solution. Thanks Attorney Laster, your work is appreciated!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
