About P. Walker
P. Walker Lasiter built his legal foundation at the University of Mississippi, where he earned a Master of Laws degree and then completed his Juris Doctor at the University of Mississippi School of Law in 1994. He entered the bar at a time when regional practice demanded both adaptability and a clear command of procedure. Those early years shaped a steady courtroom approach and a preference for careful preparation.
After law school, Lasiter established himself in practice across state lines. He is admitted to practice in Mississippi and Louisiana and is also admitted to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana. Those admissions allow him to take contested matters in both state and federal venues. Over time he developed experience handling disputes that require coordination between differing state rules and federal procedure.
Lasiter is listed as a lawyer at Manard Law. In that role he has taken on cases that reach trial, as well as matters resolved through negotiation or motion practice. He regularly files pleadings, argues motions, and appears in court hearings. His work at the firm has involved responding to developments on tight timelines and advising clients about the practical consequences of courtroom strategy.
Colleagues describe him as deliberate in assessing the procedural posture of a matter before advancing an aggressive filing strategy. He tends to prioritize clarity in pleadings and thoroughness in discovery. Those habits aim to reduce surprises when a case moves toward dispositive briefing or trial. He also spends time preparing witnesses and drafting detailed motions when the law and facts support a dispositive outcome.
Outside casework, Lasiter maintains memberships in both the Louisiana Bar Association and the Mississippi Bar Association. He keeps up with rule changes and professional materials from each state bar. That dual membership reflects the cross-border nature of his practice and the need to stay current on civil procedure and evidence developments in both jurisdictions.
He continues to practice at Manard Law, where his work involves litigation in Mississippi and Louisiana state courts and appearances in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana. His current practice focuses on litigation and courtroom advocacy across those jurisdictions.
