Stay away !

Early represented me in 2015 in a family matter, I was charged top dollar for what I believed at the time was good representation. Ms. Early speaks and writes eloquently to mask the fact that she lacks knowledge of family law and more offen that not irritated the judge with her contradicting argume...nts. She will bleed you dry of any money u might have, then empty the pockets of your family and friends as well. After all was said and done I was advised to sign a settlement agreement for custody that I didn’t agree with but had my back against the wall because of her inability to present the facts of the case. So you’ve been warned, pay now or pay later, or hire Ms. Early and pay both times. Bad bad bad choice for me, good luck

I would invite you to contact me to discuss your dissatisfaction. I would reach out to you but, after reviewing my prior cases, I do not know who you are. First and foremost, the vast majority of my clients come to me by client referral, I do not advertise. That speaks for itself. Secondly, whether to litigate or settle is always the client's choice and I will always support the client in their decision, no matter what it is. If you believe that I encouraged you to settle that was probably because of a read on what message the judge will give us, as often happens. Clients sometimes don't realize that their actions torpedo their case with a judge before trial ever begins. Lastly, I have been sitting as a Special Master in the Nassau County Matrimonial Part for five years, where Judges refer difficult cases to me to consult with the parties and their lawyers.

All-ways, Always, Alright!!!!. .... ONE WAY!!! Won way!

I never expected to be divorced and unfortunately still don't believe how something so simple became so challenging for reasons that are still unclear. My case was rare because of the kind of person my husband was. Latonia saw it clearly and helped me through every stage of the process. While I am o...fficially divorced for just about 2 years, she continues to help me, as a professional and as my friend. At times it still seems surreal, but having gone through the process now with the frustrations and pressures that come from all ends, I know that I couldn't have made it through without Latonia. Latonia was more than an attorney. She has been a support system who was by my side every step of the way. There is a soft nurturing side under her extremely professional well respected exterior that makes her one of the best matrimonial lawyers, especially when there are children involved. She is honest, fair, very organized, and always one step ahead of the game. You know she always has your best interests from the start. You have confidence in her guidance and her preparing you for the reality you are about to go through.
