The best! You want her in your corner! No regrets

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!

Fearless

Last year, I was in a divorce battle and thought I would lose everything. A law firm who raved about her litigation abilities referred attorney Latanya Sewell, to me. Once I spoke to her over the phone, I quickly understood why. Attorney Sewell is patient, nurturing and diligent about gathering ...the information needed to defend her clients in court. Her preparation is evident when she walks into court and speaks on your behalf. She becomes your own personal pit-bull whether she is standing before the judge on negotiation on your behalf with opposing attorneys in the hallways. Attorney Sewell is a master strategist and an excellent litigator. Anyone who hires her to defend them will understand why her clients call her a Godsend.

Impossible Situation Handled Exceptionally!

Attorney Sewell handled what seemed to me like an impossible situation. I had decided that I wanted to retire and when I applied for release of the funds I found that they were incumbered. Even though I had been divorced for 25 years, I did not realize that the issues of retirement and property settl...ement had never been finalized. WHAT TO DO?? It was Attorney Sewell who came to my rescue. She handled my case in a professional, caring and competent manner. What I thought was going to take forever to straighten out was handled in a timely manner. She is very knowledgeable. She responded right away to all of my emails, calls and questions. I know for a fact that GOD placed her in my path. If you are looking for THE BEST, end your journey by choosing this attorney - Attorney Latanya Sewell!!

A Godsend... A Phenomenal Attorney

Mrs. LaTanya...She is an Angel! I know God placed her in my life to give me a Peace of Mind and a New Start to rebuilding my life after going through a divorce and child custody process. I can't Thank Her Enough! She is extremely professional, knowledgeable, thorough, and goes over and beyond to make... sure you understand every aspect of the law that pertains to your situation. She is genuine, compassionate, and always responded in a timely fashion when I needed clarity during any phase of my divorce and child custody process. She helped me to move forward and seek out what was best for my Daughter and I. I am Forever Grateful to her! I would recommend her for ANY Family Law situation you may have. She is a truly a Blessing to me. May God continue to Bless her Always!

Outstanding Attorney

I thought I had lost my house during my bitter divorce and was frustrated and felt hopeless due to the State of California marriage laws. Latanya was patient with me and guided me step by step through the process. Sooner than I expected, she got my divorce finalized and I'm getting my house back. The...re's not enough praise for her legal skills to accomplish that feat. Latanya Sewell is an outstanding attorney.

"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."
