Simply the best!

Before Latanya and I cross paths, I went through my fair share of bad experiences with lawyers. The moment I spoke to her I knew my search had ended. I felt her like a friend who was concerned and wanted to help. She's not money driven and is passionate at what she does. She fights for you in that co...urt room and won't leave you disappointed. I never felt unsure about her and is very communicative and gives advice and schools you on how to present yourself in from on the judge. I cannot recommend her enough. LATANYA IF YOU ARE READING THIS THANK YOU AGAIN!

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.

You can stop searching…

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!

Outstanding

LaTanya is a powerful, smart and professional litigator. She is one step ahead at all times and despite her calm and cool demeanor she has fire in her and delivers. If you have an especially challenging case, she is your attorney!

Brilliant, Knowledgeable, Compassionate Lawyer Latanya

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.

"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."
