The Attorney Every Parent Hopes to Have!

Latanya Sewell has been a true godsend to me and my family. I found myself in an incredibly difficult and emotional situation where everything felt stacked against me. As a father, it can often feel like the odds are not in your favor, and that reality weighed heavily on me going into the process. ... From the very beginning, Latanya stood firmly in my corner. She not only understood the legal complexities of my case, but she also understood the human side of it—what it meant for me as a parent and for my family as a whole. She fought to protect my rights with strength, precision, and unwavering dedication. What meant the most to me was her commitment to making sure the truth was heard. She didn’t let assumptions or bias dictate the outcome. She was thorough, strategic, and fearless in advocating for me, ensuring that my voice—and the reality of my situation—was clearly and effectively presented to the court. Throughout the entire process, she was responsive, supportive, and incredibly sharp. She gave me confidence when I needed it most and guided me through every step with clarity and care. I never felt alone in the fight, and that made all the difference. I truly can’t say enough good things about Latanya Sewell. She is not only an exceptional attorney, but a powerful advocate for parents who need someone to stand up for them. I am beyond grateful for everything she has done for me and my family.

TRO & Family Court case

I had a great experience working with Latanya Sewell. From the first consultation, she was very professional, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. She took the time to explain everything clearly and worked with me to come up with a solid plan. I also appreciated that she never made the process feel ...like it was all about money. Fees and payments were handled fairly, and I was given time and flexibility, which made a big difference. She is very thorough and knows what she’s doing. In court, she is confident, prepared, and communicates well with everyone involved. You can tell she takes her work seriously and really advocates for her clients. Communication was consistent the entire time, whether by phone, text, or email, which helped a lot during a long and stressful situation. My case was ultimately resolved, and I’m very grateful for her help. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a straightforward, professional, and reliable attorney.

Best family attorney

I had Latanya as my attorney for the last couple of years. She is very professional, knowledgeable and quick to respond. She is very assertive in court and makes sure that the judge hears all issues/concerns. She is very knowledgeable and truly cares about her clients. Another great quality is that s...he is a parent herself and understands issues pertinent to child custody/care, unlike other attorneys. She always took time to explain everything and is always available especially when urgent situations come up. I am glad that I had her representing my case and will will definitely recommend her.

VERY HONEST, CARING AND PROFESSIONAL

After of years of dealing with courts, judges, hearings, depositions and attorneys, in total I hired 6 family attorneys for my case. Some of them from the most well known LA firms. But, I was extremely disappointed with the results and also I was broke. I represented my self for a while. At some poin...t, I realized that I needed a professional in family law. I was desperate and I came across with Latanya. At the consultation, she showed a lot of care and sorry for my case. I felt very confortable with her and I hired her. The best decision that I could take! My ex's lawyer is very aggressive, unethical and corrupt, Latanya knew her and did not care about dealing with this horrible opposing consul. Latanya wasn't intimated at all. At the hearings, Latanya always came on time, well prepared and ready for the most nasty situations. She always was very respectful and honest with me and gave me her sincere input into my case. She ALWAYS returned all my phone calls and replied my emails. She knew my financial situation and never ever asked me for huge amount for retainer. For a while, I couldn't make a single payment and she still represented me. God Bless this AMAZING attorney!

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!

"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."
