Earlean A. Laster

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!

Attorney Earlean Laster has been an absolute Godsend in my most difficult periods of parenthood. I have two daughters with two different ladies (absolutely my own fault, should have been married prior to being a parent). There was a time when I had no parental rights, no visitation, and was paying up...wards of $1200 per month in child support, for children that I wasn't being allowed to see on a regular basis. Once I researched what my rights as a parent could & should be, I contacted Laster & Associates. I met with Atty. Laster at the courthouse, and informed her that I needed a "pit bull" in the courtroom. She let me know that she was very aggressive when defending the rights of her clients. I retained her, and she got right to work on my two cases. We immediately scored a win, and she got me temporary placement of my oldest daughter. Ultimately, she ended up getting me overnight placement every Wednesday with my oldest daughter, every Thursday with my youngest daughter, and every other weekend with both my oldest & youngest, together. And having the court ordered overnights with my children drastically reduced the amount of child support I was required to pay. It was very tough going through two different custody cases simultaneously, and I had to do my part as well (completing two parenting classes, getting involved with my child's school, being mature, responsible & consistent, etc.). But Atty. Laster's mastery of family law, her preparation and presentation in the courtroom, and her empathy and support for what I was going through was the magic that my children and I so desperately needed. I thank Attorney Laster from the very bottom of my heart, as without her, my children would probably had never gotten the chance to bond with me and each other, and I'd most likely be incarcerated for owing thousands in back child support. I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend Attorney Earlean Laster for any and all family law matters you may ever encounter. As a side note, don't EVER go to family court without proper legal representation. Call Laster & Associates.

Earlean, thank you for all that you have done for not me, but for what was best for my family! You truly worked hard to ensure that what was right for my children happened! And for that I will forever be thankful! I was treated as a friend rather than just a number! You kept me calm when I was re...ady to break and give up. You made me feel comfortable in knowing that everything would be ok; that the process would be ok. Honest, Transparent and Intergrity are just a few words to describe the work you do! THANK YOU so much for helping me and my boys! I will continue to refer anyone and everyone who has to go through the process that I did because you truly are the BEST!

Attorney Laster was a God send, when my child's father called child protective services, as a precursor to him filing for shared placement. He had a new girlfriend who encouraged him to throw everything but the kitchen sink at me, so that he could paint me as an unfit mother. Atty. Laster was impress...ive when dealing with CPS, the agent dropped the case after 2 days of her involvement. I did retain Atty. Laster's firm for the child placement/ support dispute. Shortly after signing the retainer I was provided with Atty. Rochelle Benton. Although she was junior counsel, she provided adequate representation. Conversely, it would have been nice to pay the junior counsel hourly rate, meaning half. It did come as a surprise when Attorney Benton required additional retainers as well as a high hourly fee to represent me when my child's father threw in a motion for a restraining order. This guy decided to pull every shenanigan he could. I paid Atty. Laster's firm on time, however I couldn't pay additional retainers for all the new crap he dreamed up. If you are looking for al la carte representation, I think this is a wonderful firm to work with. However if you are dealing with someone as relentless as my child's father, you may want to find yourself other aggressive and thorough representation for the long haul. All in all, Atty. Laster has a plethora of confidence and experience, so if you retain her please make sure she will be the one representing you. She is very skillful and knows just what to say for the other party to comply. I did use her firm for other services and was impressed.
