ICPC / V-Docket

Latonia was one of 5 attorneys we consulted with on an ICPC and V-Docket matter and we are so happy we made the right decision! Attorneys are not miracle workers and there's a million outside factors that play into the final disposition of a case but THEY are the deciding factor on whether that proce...ss is bearable or not. We live 700 miles away from where the case took place and that can be disheartening when you're limited to how involved you can be. Thinking back to those other attorneys we spoke with at the beginning - I cannot imagine having to have endured this process with them. We highly recommend Latonia!

STAY AWAY FROM THIS ATTORNEY

Nearly 10 years after working with this attorney I have paid dearly for her mistakes in my divorce. In fact when discussing my situation with other attorneys over the years; the bottom line is she advised me to sign a document that NO ONE should have agreed to.

Since you were not willing to identify yourself and discuss how you feel you were given wrong advice I cannot take your comment seriously. If you wish to have an open dialogue and are sincere in your convictions, I trust that you will identify yourself so that I can address what you have said.

A Blessing!

Latonia is a highly skilled and caring attorney. She handled my divorce with a level of professionalism that I had not seen with my previous counsel. She was proactive (without being overbearing) and provided a supportive environment during the most stressful time in my life. Latonia was responsive... and I never felt like I was "bothering her." I highly recommend her for anyone seeking an honest, dependable divorce attorney who puts your needs over their ego and actually LISTENS to you. A divorce is traumatic enough without having to fight with your lawyer too.

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.

Extremely trustworthy

I used Latonia for my divorce and was so satisfied and comfortable with how things went, I had her handle the purchase of my new home as well. The divorce was incredibly stressful. Actually, home buying is too. She makes herself very available every step of the way. There are no unreturned calls or ...waiting weeks for answers. She was careful to make very sure that I fully understood the paperwork before signing anything. I work as an advocate and I've seen the best and the worst of attorneys. Latonia is truly at the top of the ladder.
