Top Notch Top Shelf Attorney

I can only give five stars on this app I want to give her 10 Stars. My case was supposed to be quick but it took two years because my spouse was being unreasonable. Attorney Sewell did not waver she stayed focused and vigilant to the very end. Outstanding service. I suggest if you have a divorce or c...ustody case you need to contact her.

Trust Worthy, Strong, Knowledgeable, Competent and Honest!

Anyone who has been thru the painful experience of a divorce understands that in this highly emotional state it is quite difficult to make life-altering decisions. I was fortunate to have had Latanya represent me. She guided me thru the legal process and proved to be trustworthy and competent. Sh...e had no issue going head to head with an ex, who insisted on spending two years of our life in court. Latanya put me at ease by the simple fact that she used her knowledge and willful determination to ask the court to look at what was in the best interest of my son and I. I've had a few attorneys in my lifetime and she is by far the one attorney I felt 'cared' for my cause and was on my side. Latanya is a well-balanced attorney, which based on my personal experience, one needs when dealing with the court system. I would highly recommend Latanya in a heartbeat.

Can I give six stars??

LaTanya took all the stress and strain out of the legal system for me as she handled my divorce case. Emotionally, I was a MESS and she made sure that all of my information was accurate when I made very ridiculous mistakes. She kept my ex in check many times and always returned voicemails and emails ...promptly. LaTanya is a rare combination of brains and compassion. She is intelligent and fierce, but genuinely has a deep care and concern for her clients. I can't recommend her enough. Best family law attorney you can get!

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.

Honest and Hard Working Lawyer

Latanya helped me navigate the legal system in a very trying time in which I had very little time. She gave me the tools, the knowledge, and the assurance that everything was going to work out in my favor. And, in the end, everything worked out. I was more than happy with the counsel that I received... from Latanya. She was comfortable in the courtroom, and it was awesome watching her maneuver in her environment, i.e. the family law arena. Words cannot express how much I appreciated all of her efforts in helping me in my divorce. I strongly recommend Latanya to anyone who is looking to get a divorce in the LA area. Divorce sucks, but Latanya was truly amazing. Many thumbs up.

"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."
