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!

Consistent, Thorough, Professional

I have worked with Attorney Laster for over 10 years on a child custody case. She has shown herself to be a counselor who sticks to her words. She works hard all the time and has always been at her best for in and out court appearances. H

Outstanding Family Attorney! Results Driven; Sees The Bigger Picture!

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.

Exceptional Family Attorney

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!

A TRUE LIFE SAVER!!

I hired Attorney Laster and I can not express the amount of gratitude my family has for her. After going through a tough time in my life and receiving a OWI, my daughter's “father” (whom was never involved in her life & owes 9yrs of back child support) Petitioned the Court for Physical Placement of ...my daughter, and received placement by the court commissioner at a temporary hearing (which I was never served with any notice). As you can imagine, I was absolutely devastated!! For fourteen months my husband and I tried ourselves to get the ruling over turned and were not successful . We had a hearing scheduled for August 29, 2012 and a friend recommended representation from Attorney Laster. After hearing all great thing she had to say, we figured it was worth a shot. We retained Attorney Laster on August 28, 2012, and the next day at our hearing the Judge ruled in our favor!!! Since one week from that date my daughter has been home for good!!! I completely agree with the “Best Attorney Ever” review!!! She was aggressive and just what our family needed for the court to look past my “record” and focus on the best intrest of our child. I would recommend Attorney Laster again and again; she was truly a life saver!!!
