Thorough & Knowledgeable

I've consulted with Attorney Banks on a number of cases and have gotten nothing but the best service. Her consultations are thourough and informative. I've hired her for cases and have always gotten the outcome that I wanted. Ms. Banks' fees are very reasonable and despite being a highly sought af...ter attorney, she makes sure to stay on top of all cases and will always get back to you in a timely fashion. Not only is she very informed in family law, she makes it a point to listen to your circumstances and always provides the best advice according to the law. There aren't many attorneys who take a personal interest in their clients' cases. She's not only attentive, but passionate. That alone is what makes her an excellent attorney.

Divorce Handled Expertly

I retained Ms. Banks to represent me in divorce proceedings. Her strategy made a difficult situation less difficult. I was able to get through and survive my divorce and that’s all anyone can expect from a divorce attorney.

Justice at Last

Ms. Banks represented me in a highly contested divorce, child custody, child visitation and a child support case. I knew from the beginning that she was the perfect lawyer for me. She not only sympathize with my situation, she made it better. She is busy in court a lot, which I thought was a good sig...n, but she always returned my calls and emails. My husband thought he would take everything, but he was wrong. Because of Ms. Banks efforts I won custody of my children, got s substantial amount of child support and every portion I was entitled to out of the marriage. If you are looking for a hard working lawyer that will fight for you, choose Ms. Banks.

Amazing

OMG where do I start......This lady goes above and beyond to get things done. She treats your case as if she was in your shoes. She always keeps you in the loop and is very organized. I went through a weird custody battle with my son's father and we had a great outcome. Mrs. Banks is definantly well ...worth every penny and she is extremely resonable. If you are going through a custody battle wether you are the mother or father, I would highly recommend Mrs. Banks. I am extremely happy with our outcome and how great of an attorney she has been. A+++++ :)

Active Lawyer

What do my title mean? An active lawyer. I've work with many lawyers and they claimed being on my case. Later,I found it to be untrue. Being active means being a listener of my entire situation and following through with actions. Ms. Banks work my case as if it was her only case. I know that she had... many more cases. I've witness her having two to three cases a week but never lost track of my case. Her prices was very reasonable and fair. She handled my custody case with common sense and her knowledge of the law. We all know that custody cases can be very emotional. Ms. Banks comforted me with her approach and her powerful presence. Her professionalism and her ability to access my case on what direction it needed to go was like a movie. Ms Sequitta Banks is very passionate about her work as a lawyer and operates in the court of law like Mike Jordan handle his business on the basketball court. She comforted me in my case because I saw her working my case gracefully. Many lawyers lack making it look easy. Ms Sequitta Banks has the swag that many lawyers work hard to get. She also help me become knowledgeable of my case and answer questions that concern me. I would recommend Ms. Sequitta Banks to anyone.
