Best Lawyer Ever

From the moment of our consultation Ms Lodanna was very proactive in her approach to be my lawyer. She believed in my rights as a father to my son and fought for my rights. She was able to submit information to the court before the court date that explain all my legal problems and also submitted evi...dence backing those claims in a timely manner. With all the evidence being organized the way it was the case only had 2 court session for the judge to rule in my favor. She reply to my calls and emails in a timely manner and performed beyond expectations in court in my defense. I consult with a few lawyers before consulting with MS Lodanna, and they all try to discourage me from pursuing my case , saying will be difficult for a judge to rule in my favor. MS Lodanna told me from the beginning that my demands were resonable and she was amazing in fighting for my rights as a father. I came from a situation where I could not see my son to having JOINT LEGAL AND PHYSICAL CUSTODY, and a resonable form of child support from the mother which was in my favor. Not many men can leave today's legal system of child custody feeling happy and victorious but I did. PS: I love my son and put him first so did MS Lodanna and we both did right by him. Thanks ever so much, I am forever in your debts.

LaDonna Cousins is Excellent!

The dictionary describes the word "Superlative" as the highest kind, quality and order, surpassing all else or others, supreme. I would define it as LaDonna Cousins. As a family lawyer, she is of the highest kind, quality and order...supreme. LaDonna's knowledge in child custodial law and attentio...n to detail to my case put my worries at ease. I have had custody issues for the past 5+ years. LaDonna was able to prepare my case and present my case very professionally to the judge. LaDonna was able to have my child support terminated retroactive a few months and also have the defendant pay a very decent portion of my court fees! She was very clear in what I had to do and gave me deadlines of when I needed to have certain documents back to her. She was very attentive and responsive. She was always there when I had a question. LaDonna helped me come out on top. There is no glorious victory without an epic battle. LaDonna was the sole game changer in my case. I am extremely happy with LaDonna Cousins and I highly recommend her as a Family Lawyer.

Great Representation

LaDonna did an excellent job on advising me of my rights while assisting to negotiate my marital separation agreement. I wanted a quick divorce and thought it wise to just pass on child support, however, I was advised that my child had a right to the child support. I'm glad I took the time and list...ened for the benefit of my child. She took charge in follow up with the other attorney and filed everything quickly. Even with all the delays with Covid19, my divorce took less than a year to finalize. When I first met with LaDonna for a consultation, I had a good gut feeling about her. After our discussion, I hired her on the spot and I am glad I made that decision. I would recommend her to anyone who is thinking about filing for a divorce.
