Earlean Laster opened the doors of Laster & Associates over 25 years ago. Since then, Ms. Laster has been providing aggressive representation in matters of family law and criminal defense.
While attending law school at the University of Wisconsin, Madison Law School, Ms. Laster interned at the City Attorney’s Office in Milwaukee, where she was responsible for drafting pleadings, affidavits, and briefs for the Circuit Court and Court of Appeals.
In August of 1997, Ms. Laster became a licensed attorney in the state of Wisconsin and quickly realized her skill and passion for helping clients achieve justice in the criminal and family courts. In September 2000, after gaining several years of invaluable experience at two local Milwaukee law firms, Ms. Laster formed Laster & Associates.
In addition to practicing law, Ms. Laster remains very active in the legal community. Most notably, she was the first African-American woman appointed as a City of Milwaukee Court Commissioner, where she presided over numerous cases involving traffic violations, in-custody defendants, warrants, and municipal ordinance violations.
Ms. Laster invites clients to contact her and the talented staff of attorneys at Laster & Associates to learn more about the professional services they provide to clients.
