DON’T GO TO COURT WITHOUT LATANYA SEWELL! – HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Although, this message is to all parents, it is especially to the fathers! If you are in need of exceptional representation from an attorney who will take the time to listen to you; gain key facts and knowledge about your situation, and understand your custody rights as a father - then Latanya Sewel...l is the one who can do that for you. Ms. Sewell is a devoted attorney who is passionate, but means business when it comes to her clients. Her expertise and keen knowledge about family law worked in my favor. Not only is she a highly professional attorney, she was readily available to accept my phone calls and answered questions regarding my concerns during the process of my case. I advise you - do not enter the courtroom without her by your side. She can get the message to judge in order for him/her to understand that you are serious about obtaining custody of your child/children; visitations or whatever your request may be as it pertains to your rights as a parent and fairness to your child/children. I am so grateful that she realized the wellbeing and safety of my daughter. Not only does she care about her clients, she cares if your child/children have a quality of life surrounding genuine nurturing and love that every child deserves. Ms. Sewell, thank you. Your representation surpasses quality.

The Best in Los Angeles!!

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!!!!

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!

Excellent, Thorough, The Best

Latanya has been a life saver in regards to my child support/custody case. She is very detailed and knowledgeable. She is definitely more concerned with what's right for the client rather than what's right for her pockets. My case was already open and I was one of those that was trying to do it mysel...f and it was taking forever. When Latanya took on my case it was very little time till my next court date. She was very aggressive with getting all the information needed to prepare and even more agressive in the court room. Latanya was able to get me exactly what I wanted in both custody & support fatser than i would have ever expected. She has went above and beyond in my opinion even down to addressing little petty things I had to deal with from my children's mother. I couldn't be more pleased with her professionalism & the outcome of my case. She is definitely considered a friend now. I do, have and will continue to recommend her to anyone seeking an attorney in family law

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.

"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."
