Mrs. Banks Saved My Life

Mrs. Banks did everything for my divorce case. Mrs. Banks is not only an amazing attorney, she is also a sincere nice person. She paid close attention to every single detail. After my first time meeting her, I knew I could trust her. I appreciate how she puts up with my chattiness. I am very pleased ...with all the work she has done for me and my 2 children. I can't thank her enough. You won't be disappointed!

Thank You!

I thought that Mrs. Banks was nice, and provided me with extra information that concerns the labor laws, and some of which I had heard of before, but was not completely familiar with. I appreciated it Mrs. banks, Thank You!!! I have already stated, that I wanted these individuals to let me be, but t...hey are still trying to insert themselves into my life. I am looking into other options, and hope that they will take the hint to respect my wishes. I wouldn't have minded have Mrs. banks firm represent me, but again, her firm was too far away.

International Custody Case

Hello, My case was a complicated international custody case. Before I secured the services of Ms. Banks, I was working with an attorney that didn't show empathy for my case and was terrible at getting back to me. Then, I started looking for a new attorney and interviewed three family law prac...titioners. Of the three, Ms. Banks was the only one that showed compassion, competency and had a grasp of the facts of the case in our first meeting. During the entire process, the communication was great. Ms. Banks (or her Legal Assistant, Ms. Asghar) would follow up with me over the phone or via email, and they would always return my calls. Ms. Asghar was equally competent as she was the one dealing with service of process overseas. There were ups and downs during the process but during the hearing we obtained sole and full custody for my children which was more than what we anticipated. To my friends or anyone who asks, I would certainly recommend Ms. Banks for any cases involving family law. Thank you. S.

Excellent Representation!

Ms. Banks handled a DWI case for me. She was very easy to communicate with and would always respond to phone calls or emails in a prompt manner. Ms. Banks always provided me with exceptional advice and reassurance when needed. I appreciated that she was truthful in what to expect with both best and ...worst case scenarios, and confident that she would get me the best outcome possible. I always felt that she had my best interest at hand while dealing with my case. Ms. Banks is extremely trustworthy and an upstanding woman of good moral character.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
