He served in the Australian Imperial Force's 18th Battalion from 1916 to 1917 in the signals unit, seeing action at Ypres and the Somme. He was called to the Bar in 1922 and a member of the first Australian Board of Control from 1924 to 1927. In 1927 he was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly as the Labor member for Enmore, shifting to Petersham in 1930 and Leichhardt in 1932. Lamaro served as Minister of Justice from 1930 to 1931 and Attorney-General from 1931 to 1932.

He worked in private law firms until 1940 and was recalled to the Bar in 1941; in 1943 he was appointed a Crown Prosecutor and in 1947 a District Court judge. Lamaro died in 1951 at Hay.
