Refreshingly Different

I've worked with 6 or 7 different family law attorneys and Latanya is the only one I actually trust to say and do what is in my best interests. She is diligent, hardworking, intelligent, compassionate, honest, pleasant, and simply put--a decent human being. She is not money-driven. Rather, she is pas...sionate about her work and about helping her clients. Unfortunately, it's very rare (I want to say next to impossible) to find all these qualities in a family law lawyer. She will not hesitate to work late nights or weekends if necessary to respond to important deadlines and service her clients' needs. I refer anyone who needs family law help to her.

THE BEST!!!!

My respects to Latanya. She is extremely knowledgeable and a ball buster in court!! I have so much to thank her for. She prepared me for my court dates and gave me the tough love I very much needed. God Bless her. I am so grateful for having her take on and WIN my cases. I recommend LaTanya to anyone... and everyone who wants an honest and affordable attorney.

Excellent Lawyer

I am so glad that she has been able to help me out in a very emotional case where the other party clearly was not cooperative and even harassing us. Ms. Sewell has been very knowledgeable and professional and helped us strategize the best outcome. She goes the extra mile to help her clients and will ...fight for you if you believe you are wronged. Thank you.

Passionate, Trustworthy & Aggressive

My story is very similar compared to most folks caught up in a messy divorce. Latanya is God sent and provided me guidance from beginning to the present. She is very passionate and compassionate in the manner she works with her clients. She is very dependable and will always respond in a very gen...uine and truthful way, whether you like her answers or not. She doesn't sugar coat anything as she believes it is crucial that her clients understand the pros and cons of each stage of your case. Positive reinforce is so important when confronted with all the negativity from your ex and ex's attorney, however, Mrs. Sewell is there to catch you each time you fall. I highly recommend Mrs. Sewell to anyone going through a very difficult child custody battle or a challenging divorce. Her extensive knowledge and experience working side-by-side with well established Family lawyers is evident by her ability to ensure you are well taken care of. The cost of hiring an excellent and qualified attorney is not cheap, however, the cost of peace of mind is priceless.

Highly Recommend!

I hired Mrs. Sewell about a month ago, she prestigiously handled my child custody case quick and efficiently. Before I even retained Mrs. Sewell she was already giving me free council and help with the "bulling" from opposing council due to my adverse situation. I truly believe she loves her job and ...am astounded by her extended knowledge of the law. I admire the compassion she exudes for all her clients. She was a great advocate for myself and my family. She was very reassuring and realistic about all possible outcomes and agreements that can be made pertaining to my case. For some one as aggressive and outspoken as myself, she was able to calm me and reassure me that she had my best interest at stake. If you're in a legal custody situation where you are un sure of the outcome, she is a great advisor. I completely trust her legal guidance and council. She is quick and efficient at her job. She was able to settle my case out of court fast and as painless as possible. I can't thank her enough. I have referred her to several people. If you are in a situation of helplessness and financially distressed due to an unforeseen child custody situation, she is a great contender to have on your side!

"I highly endorse Latanya as a family law attorney. Latanya's experience in family law is significant as she was a paralegal in family law for over 10 years prior to becoming an attorney, and her professionalism, knowledge and insight are phenomenal. Her work product was excellent and thorough, as was her availability to work on a contractual basis. It is only a matter of time before I will oppose her on a case, and I already know that I will have to work exceptionally hard to do so."
