Sequitta Marilyn Leigh Banks

I have worked with multiple attorneys while trying to establish custody of my daughter and have her name legally changed. I was dealing with a Father who was in another state and over time the goal had become impossible. I was very disappointed and hopeless to say the least... until I met Mrs. Banks.... Our initial consult went very well. She listened, asked questions and within 30 minutes told me that she would help me get this done. I believe that most attorneys were resistant because of the work involved and the unfamiliar boundaries this would entail. Sequitta Banks was very different. She said that she had never dealt with a situation like this, but was not apprehensive about giving it a "Go". I knew when I hung up the phone that I had finally found the one that would see this through. Her energy, passion and commitment was evident during this call and stayed persistent throughout our work together. She was extremely responsive, never letting a day go by without responding to an email or a phone call. She kept me informed the entire time letting me know the progress being made on the back end. When we got together to prepare for the court date- It was very obvious that she did all necessary research on her end and was completely "ready". When we showed up to the hearing- Sequitta Banks brought her "A" game to say the least. I was always concerned that my attorney would not truly "get" the circumstances and really understand where I was coming from. During the trial, when it was time for Sequitta to question my ex, she stood up and said "No questions your honor". I about fell off my chair in shock. Like... after all this- you are not going to grill him... I was beyond confused?? After the ruling (which was in my favor), we were walking out and I said- Why did you make that choice? She told me that through all of our conversations- she knew that the man that we were dealing with was a manipulator and she decided to not give him one extra opportunity to try and sway the Judge. This was genius to me. It was confirmed then and there that - Yes, she did truly understand. I hugged Mrs. Banks as we walked out and she seemed as genuinely excited as I was, for she knew the weight that this carried for me. If you watch Scandal then you will understand this- Sequitta Banks is DC's "real" Olivia Pope! If you don't watch- this just means that she is the one that you have been looking for!! :)

The first time I met with Ms Banks, I thought she might not be tough enough for my case. She was very polite and sweet in the consult, took lots of notes and listened to me. Boy was I wrong. She was like a pit bull dealing with my ex huband who stole from our children and me. He was trying to get... out of paying me child support and support and she did not back down even when his attorney used my job against me (I have to work long hours now and taking care of 2 kids is hard). Ms Banks ran circles around that guy and I will be forever grateful. She is top notch.

I hired Sequitta Banks, and her team when It was all most to late, I had made so many mistakes with another attorney and by representing myself that when we finally got to trial I was not allowed any witness and or documents, e-mails, pictures, etc. The other side had a high power attorney that was ...on the cover of magazines as the up and coming attorney of the year, and she had a three ring binder full of e-mails, and expert witness that testified against us. In the end we won 100% custody of my little girl. Seuquitta found other ways to get evidence introduced, and brought the truth to life. I have never seen an attorney roll up her sleeves and get to work the way she did, Sequitta was just as emotionally invested as I was, she had met my daughter and knew what was a stake. My day in court turned into one of the best days of my life. Thank You The Banks Law Group.....
