Amazing attorney

Attorney Laster is amazing at her profession! She helped me when I really needed it and got me through the most difficult time in my life! I would definitely without a doubt allow her to represent me again and reference her to anyone whose in need! I was very lucky to have her!

Reliable Attorney With Patience and Grace

I am beyond a super needy client. I send a ton of emails and call every day if possible. I am highly detailed and almost OCD when it comes to paper work and evidence gathering. Attorney Laster and her assistant understood my needs and concerns and over time made me feel like they were family. I felt ...that they went thru my divorce with me. My divorce was super dragged out and stressful but Attorney Laster was up to the task and fought along side of me, and for me the entire time. She helped me keep a cool head and helped me do everything the right way.

Disappointed Client

Earlean used criminal statutes instead of the proper statutes for municipal court. Very difficult to get in contact with by phone, text or e-mail. I asked for change of venue and substitute judge and neither was accomplished. Last two months of representation was never able to get in contact with Ear...lean though, I made many attempts. Never received my complete file on termination. I was very disappointed in the attorney representation.

Attorney Laster helped me avoid a Felony conviction

Attorney Laster represented me in a criminal matter, where I was charged with a Felony, based on her experience and relationship with the District Attorney she was able to present positive information about my character and the District Attorney agreed to drop my case down to a ticket. I spoke to se...veral attorneys who told me I did not have a chance. I honestly believe if I did not hire Attorney Laster I would be a convicted felon right now. If you are in serious trouble hire Attorney Laster!!!!

Not worth the money

I was better off getting a public defender. She was hard to get in contact with and didn't return calls until a after a week. Provided substantial evidence that should've been used in the case that she didn't present and she basically let the prosecutor demolish her. I regret spending any money on he...r because she definitely did not do her job and let me down tremendously as a client.

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.
