Excellent
I highly recommend Ms James. Very professional and extreme knowledge of the laws. Very attentive. I would hire Ms James again if it would be necessary in the future.
"Latoya James knows her stuff. Her experience speaks for itself. I interned for her while in law school and she is one of my many attorney role-models. Although I practice in New Jersey now, I recommend Latoya to anyone in New York in need of representation in the family law/criminal defense realms."
"Latoya is an excellent attorney and a zealous advocate for her clients. I have had the opportunity to see her work and I endorse this lawyer without hesitation. I think she is an asset to the legal community!"
