Lasher Holzapfel Sperry & Ebberson

I came to LASHER in the middle of one of the hardest seasons of my life. I was already deep into a high-conflict custody battle—accusations flying, constant tension in co-parenting, and an looming out-of-state move by the other parent that put everything on the line. It was the kind of situation that wears you down mentally, emotionally, and financially. At that point, I made the difficult decision to change attorneys mid-case… and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

From the moment Betsy Hershman stepped in, everything changed.

Betsy didn’t just represent me—she led me. When things felt chaotic and uncertain, she brought clarity, direction, and a steady hand. She has a rare ability to see the full picture, cut through the noise, and guide you forward with both strength and compassion. There were moments where I genuinely didn’t know how things would turn out, but she never lost sight of what mattered most, my daughter —and she made sure I didn’t either.

Lisa Sharpe and Faye Washburn were equally incredible. The entire team operated with professionalism, responsiveness, and a level of care that made me feel supported every step of the way.

Because of LASHER, I didn’t just “get through” my case—I came out the other side with the most important parts of my life intact, and a meaningful, workable parenting plan that gives me stability and hope moving forward.

If you’re reading this and you’re in the middle of something overwhelming like I was—wondering if you made the right choices or if things are going to fall apart—this is the team you want in your corner. They don’t just show up. They lead you through the wilderness.

I’m incredibly grateful for Betsy, Lisa, and Faye. Truly exceptional people doing exceptional work.

I had met with several experienced firms, and it quickly became clear that Jamie Polito Johnston was by far the best fit for me. She is sharp, genuine, kind, and truly made me feel like a priority throughout the entire process. She guided me every step of the way, explained things clearly, stayed in close communication, and provided both strong legal support and real emotional reassurance. Even years after my dissolution was finalized, it still feels like Jamie is in my corner and has invested in me and my family, which means more than I can easily put into words. I always felt very welcomed by everyone at Lasher, and for a well-established firm, it has an impressive culture filled with smart, kind, and approachable people. Thank you Jamie!

I cannot say enough good things about Lasher!

We worked with several people at Lasher over time, starting with Eugene Wong, then Mario Bianchi, and even Taro as we got a new business off the ground. Every step of the way, the team was sharp, professional, and genuinely supportive.

I especially want to shout out Mario Bianchi. He was an absolute beast in helping us navigate a very tricky and emotional situation. More than just legal advice, Mario helped keep things calm, grounded, and focused on the bigger picture. He consistently gave thoughtful guidance, helped us avoid unnecessary escalation, and reminded us of the value of our time and energy. When things felt heavy, he had a way of steadying the ship and keeping us moving forward.

Mario was always on the ball, proactive, easy to work with, and incredibly sharp. In the end, the outcome exceeded what we even thought was possible, and I credit a huge part of that to his leadership and judgment.

Huge thank you to Mario and everyone at Lasher. Hopefully we do not need you again anytime soon, but if we ever do, there is no question where we are going. And if anyone needs help navigating a complex or sensitive situation, this is the firm I would recommend without hesitation.
