Meet Your Attorney
Rooted in Aloha ʻĀina
My name is Krista Lara, and I am the founding attorney of The Lara Firm.
The Lara Firm is grounded in a harmonious blend of forward-thinking legal guidance and timeless values of care, stewardship, and connection. Central to our philosophy is the Hawaiian concept of Aloha ʻĀina — the deep love of the land that sustains us. This principle reminds us that when we care for what nourishes and supports life — our health, our families, our resources, and our communities — it in turn cares for us. We apply Aloha ʻĀina as a guiding spirit of reciprocity, respect, and responsible stewardship in all we do.
We gently merge this wisdom with thoughtful approaches to aging, well-being, and legacy planning. Our work in estate and elder planning, conservatorships, and veterans disability benefits is rooted in compassion and empowerment, helping clients nurture sustained independence, family harmony, and a sense of place across the years.
As a VA-accredited attorney, I am dedicated to assisting veterans and their families with navigating available benefits and long-term planning needs. I am also a member of the ARAG Attorney Network, expanding access to trusted legal guidance for individuals and families seeking estate and elder planning and related legal services.
