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

One Of The Best Days Ever, Sequitta Brings The Truth To Life.

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.....

  • 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.
