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!

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.

She is the best!

I’ve been working with attorney laster for over 10yrs. She has represented me multiple times for two divorce cases and child support. Besides me getting everything that we were asking for, she’s also very pleasant, extremely understanding, and she definitely does what’s needed in the courtroom. I wou...ld recommend attorney for any family and criminal needs.

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.

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.

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.
