Latanya Sewell

Early on, I made the huge mistake of going into the court system on my own. I spent a lot of time looking for a lawyer and I am very grateful to have been pointed in Latanya's direction! She listens to you, gives you an honest assessment of what can be done thru the courts, she'll detail all the step...s involved and most importantly, she cared about the well-being of my son. Oh and she's a FIGHTER, exactly what you want when you're going up in front of a judge! She's a definite asset to have on your side and worth the investment. Meet with her and hire her!

I have retained Law Offices of Latanya Sewell for the past 3 years of my marriage. Latanya is always reachable by phone, email and text. During the last 3 years, she has been patient with me as I did not want to divorce my spouse. I wanted to work things out as we had a child together. The marriag...e was verbally, physically and emotionally abusive. I stuck it for my child. Latanya was there to hear my struggles and when things became too much and my child was seeing and hearing the abuse from my spouse, Latanya guided me on my rights as a Parent. The storm is almost gone. My divorce is almost complete and because Latanya is caring, compassionate and knowledgable and has great character, the opposing Lawyer can see that our Requests are fair and beneficial for both parties and most importantly for the best interest of our child. I have spoken with other lawyers before Latanya and they are not at all comparable to the skill and kindness that Latanya embodies. When you meet her, you will be surprised. She is tiny and loves to wear really high high heels. But once she opens her mouth and speaks the law, you will know and see that she is a stable force for anyone going through a divorce/separation and has your best interest - like she has for me. When I get emotional on the phone with her, she will even check back the next day to see how I am doing. Who does that? I can tell she truly cares. Thank you Latanya. You are truly a blessing.

By the time Latanya took on my case I was 2 years into a long and messy situation with my ex. She was my 4th attorney due to many different circumstances, but she was by far the best. In 30 minutes she told me more information than my other attorneys (combined) had told me in 2 years. I was mortif...ied to know the way we should have been handling matters all along and how things could have been tied up sooner, and with a lot less money being spent. She made the full picture of what had been going on in my case, make complete sense to me. And this was just during my consultation!!! If retained, Latanya understands the nuts and bolts of your case, and she will not sugarcoat things. She will tell it like it is, and it is always for your benefit. The judge respected her and she got me things that I didn't even know existed. Details I would have never thought of, and strategies for the long game. She kept her cool in the courtroom, always read the temperament of the room and knew how to get the best for me. I honestly can't thank her enough for what she did for me. I was so broken, vulnerable, confused, and tired by the time I met her. I had no faith in lawyers (from high powered $400/hour attorneys to free legal aid) she is the most caring, detailed, smart, and calculated (in a good way) lawyer I've met. She empowered me in every aspect of my life by empowering me in my representation. If you are on the fence about contacting her, don't be!!! I promise you, she is the most skilled, and dependable attorney's you will ever have. I hope I never have to go through something like this again, but if I find myself back in court, she will be the first person I call...she'll be easy to find-- she's listed under my FAVORITES :)

I was extremely lucky to come across Latanya, I could have not asked for better representation. Let’s stick to the facts: When I first looked at her reviews on Avvo there were only a couple, but I had faith as she was recommended by a very respected firm. Now I look on Avvo, and all I can say is w...ow, rising stock!!! Latanya took my case in 2014, my ex was trying to take sole custody of our 3 ½ year old son with the use of false allegations and trying to completely discredit me as a father. I cannot even express how thankful I am that our little man can now benefit from the structure and love a dad can provide. Latanya won joint custody for us in April 2016. The thing I respect the most is that she did not smear my ex and her past(the route the opposing party took), but she won by keeping it real making it about the child. Victory is one thing, but victory with truth is another. She puts together a smooth read for the judge, and has the skills to follow being able to litigate with the best. Little man now gets to enjoy his brother, sister, and dad on a regular bases. She is a great person who is great at what she does, Thanks Latanya!

I highly recommend Mrs. Sewell to anyone that needs assistance with family law matters. I was in what I thought a very messy jurisdiction case involving two states. I called many attorneys and knew right away, after talking to Mrs. Sewell that she was the one I needed to represent my case. She was ve...ry professional and made me feel like there was hope. Mrs. Sewell is an expert in her profession and will take the time to update you on a daily basis and is reachable at any time, unlike many attorneys. She is kind and honest, yet aggressive if need be, which in my case at times she needed to be and I loved it because it not only showed that she was an attorney who knew what she was talking about but it showed that she meant business and would not allow people to take advantage of her or her client. My case was heard in court within 12 or 13 days of hiring Mrs. Sewell, and I was on my way back home with my child after only two weeks. Mrs. Sewell is the best in Los Angeles and very affordable, highly recommended!!!!
