Child Custody

I hired Ms. Banks to represent me in a Child Custody and she showed zero interest, took the money and showed up not prepared. I ended up suing her and winning. She has yet to pay the judgement against her. It has been over a year and she still hasn't pay, will have to take her to court again. Sta...y clear away from her.

Season 1 your case can be a Season

Mrs. Sequitta Banks made my fiancé and I students of her way of handling a case. Yes, it was our case but she made it her own. We had projects and things to find out concerning our case. She taught us how to own our case and know it like the palm of our hands. We had to do our research and implement ...the things discovered on the other party. Mrs. Sequitta Banks kept us honest and diligent. She is the Viola Davis in real life. Her heart showed that she's not on retirement like most lawyers.(Working to drain you of your money) It was an honor to be a student of Mrs. Sequitta Banks. If you do your homework and be diligent you could probably win your case. Though all cases are different. You still have to do your homework on your own case. Take this from us who got exactly everything we wanted. We won our case so we might get an A+ from Mrs. Sequitta Bank. So your reflection of Mrs. Sequitta Banks is an reflection of how good of a student you can be. Thank you so very much Mrs. Banks. God bless you and your family

Mr. and Mrs. Wrong (The Wrights)

Mrs. Banks represented my husband and I fairly recently and I found her to be a knowledgeable, decent and fair attorney. We worked to sort out every detail of the case and the outcome was favorable. On the flip side, I would like to share some minor improvements. I do believe that her follow-up ne...eds improvement, whether it be via email or by telephone. That length of time needs to be shortened for any attorney to follow-up with a client. Also, I think she should work on being more aggressive in the courtroom in terms of delivery of case details. If these minor changes would occur, I believe Mrs. Banks will continue to be a good attorney.
