Top Notch Top Shelf Attorney

I can only give five stars on this app I want to give her 10 Stars. My case was supposed to be quick but it took two years because my spouse was being unreasonable. Attorney Sewell did not waver she stayed focused and vigilant to the very end. Outstanding service. I suggest if you have a divorce or c...ustody case you need to contact her.

Trust Worthy, Strong, Knowledgeable, Competent and Honest!

Anyone who has been thru the painful experience of a divorce understands that in this highly emotional state it is quite difficult to make life-altering decisions. I was fortunate to have had Latanya represent me. She guided me thru the legal process and proved to be trustworthy and competent. Sh...e had no issue going head to head with an ex, who insisted on spending two years of our life in court. Latanya put me at ease by the simple fact that she used her knowledge and willful determination to ask the court to look at what was in the best interest of my son and I. I've had a few attorneys in my lifetime and she is by far the one attorney I felt 'cared' for my cause and was on my side. Latanya is a well-balanced attorney, which based on my personal experience, one needs when dealing with the court system. I would highly recommend Latanya in a heartbeat.

Got my baby back

Latanya Sewell worked with me to regain custody of my daughter. She filed an ex parte motion with the court that was written so beautifully it would have made you cry. Well, it made my ex cry so hard he decided to settle. Everything was over so fast. Latanya walked in the door, wrote up the agreement..., had everybody sign and we were off and on our way. #WonderWoman #OliviaPopeWho?

VERY HONEST, CARING AND PROFESSIONAL

After of years of dealing with courts, judges, hearings, depositions and attorneys, in total I hired 6 family attorneys for my case. Some of them from the most well known LA firms. But, I was extremely disappointed with the results and also I was broke. I represented my self for a while. At some poin...t, I realized that I needed a professional in family law. I was desperate and I came across with Latanya. At the consultation, she showed a lot of care and sorry for my case. I felt very confortable with her and I hired her. The best decision that I could take! My ex's lawyer is very aggressive, unethical and corrupt, Latanya knew her and did not care about dealing with this horrible opposing consul. Latanya wasn't intimated at all. At the hearings, Latanya always came on time, well prepared and ready for the most nasty situations. She always was very respectful and honest with me and gave me her sincere input into my case. She ALWAYS returned all my phone calls and replied my emails. She knew my financial situation and never ever asked me for huge amount for retainer. For a while, I couldn't make a single payment and she still represented me. God Bless this AMAZING attorney!

About me not the money

So I'm on the fence about what exactly it is like to do& have been searching for lawyer just to get some basic information. Everyone I tried claimed to offer free consultation but in actuality I had to pay them first before I could get any advice. I called Ms. Sewell & she was unavailable at time but... she returned my call within the hour. She was very kind & knowledgeable. Was not in rush & gave me very sound information and options to consider for free. She spent like 20 minutes to half an hour speaking to me. When I decide to go to proceed I definitely see Ms. Sewell in my corner.

"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."
