Latasha is one of the finest lawyers I know. I have known her for many years, and working with her is always a pleasure. She is knowledgeable, dedicated, and ferocious. Over the years I tried several cases against Latasha when she was a prosecutor, and she was always a fierce adversary. I am pleased that she has joined us on the defense side. She is going to defend her client's with ferocity and passion.
