Posted by Carla | June 23, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Wonderful attorney

Ms. Lamas was my Attorney nearly 20 years ago in my Family Law action. She was always straight with me and told me what the law could and couldn’t do given the facts of the case. My proceeding was ugly, but she prevented it from being much worse than it had to be, and eventually I ended up with both ...children staying with me here in California when my ex returned to the East Coast. Ms. Lamas’s determined representation on my behalf, and her genuine care for me, inspired me to eventually become an an attorney myself.
