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!

Forever Grateful

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 :)

Excellent Family Law Attorney

Latanya Sewell is an outstanding, very smart family law attorney and litigator. I have referred many of my clients to her and she consistently gets them great results. She understands everything from the details of case management, to overall courtroom strategy. Latanya's prices are very fair. Most i...mportant, she truly cares.

THE BEST!!!!

My respects to Latanya. She is extremely knowledgeable and a ball buster in court!! I have so much to thank her for. She prepared me for my court dates and gave me the tough love I very much needed. God Bless her. I am so grateful for having her take on and WIN my cases. I recommend LaTanya to anyone... and everyone who wants an honest and affordable attorney.

Can you say.... Courtroom Gladiator?

LaTanya is very hands-on as my attorney. She has completely immersed herself into my case and has kept me informed every step of the way. She even knows the strategy of our opponents. It is easy to underestimate her because of her petite stature compared to her massive, stiff-faced counterparts. But,... You will be surprised when she argues in court and prepares your papers. SHE IS AGGRESSIVE, ARTICULATE, FAIR, & KNOWLEDGABLE. Also She is easy to contact & very down to earth. If you need representation who will go to war for you in the courtroom, let LaTanya Sewell be your first choice.

"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."
