Best Attorney Ever!

I read the previous client review and I had a completely different experience. Attorney Laster was referred to me after I fired another attorney who I had a bad experience with. She returned all my calls promptly and addressed all my concerns. Me and my ex have been going to court for the past yea...r and after I hired Attorney Laster the case was settled in months in my favor. I would highly recommend Attorney Laster. Her fees were reasonable and she was worth every dime.

Bogus

If you need a family attorney, do not use Earlean Laster. She never returns phone calls or emails. I had to call numerous times a day until I could get ahold of her. I'm not sure if she just takes on too much or should not be practicing family law. She will lead you on thinking you have a case and th...en after thousands of dollars are spent, it turns out she has no idea what she is doing. I have wasted thousands of dollars on this joke of an attorney when I practically did all the work to write up a stipulation with my ex. Then after the agreement was signed, there was an error in transcribing the document and I was charged for their time to fix their problem. After wasting too much money and over 6 months of my life, I am still having almost all of the same problems with my ex. My attorney failed to put things into detail that could not be misinterpreted and when they were, she just backed down and did not have my back. Worst attorney ever!

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.
