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.

From free consultation to EXCELLENT representation!

From the moment I spoke with Latanya and explained my circumstance to her, I knew I had to retain her for my court proceedings. Not only was she professional and extremely knowledgeable, she was also compassionate and very understanding. The entire ordeal was not easy for me - restraining order and c...ustody - but never once did I feel as if my representation was lacking, which gave me immeasurable comfort. Attorney Sewell hit the ground running and conducted herself with great poise, in the face of outright lies and vicious attacks against me and my character. It became quite obvious to me that she doesn't do this for the money or the notoriety but instead she does it for justice and stands on the side of what is right. After it was all said and done, the judge granted a 3 year restraining order against my ex, as well as sole legal and physical custody. I was absolutely relived....and then came the motion for reconsideration by the Respondent with a new attorney. The motion was emphatically denied and I know that it was not only Latanya's professionalism and knowledge that brought about the judgement but also her commitment and passion for doing what is right and ensuring her clients receive justice. I know that whomever is reading this does not know me but hear me when I say this: I am still thanking God for leading me to seek an attorney and specifically for her being excellent!

Got my baby back

Latanya Sewell worked with me to regain custody of my daughter. She filed an ex parte motion with the court that was written so beautifully it would have made you cry. Well, it made my ex cry so hard he decided to settle. Everything was over so fast. Latanya walked in the door, wrote up the agreement..., had everybody sign and we were off and on our way. #WonderWoman #OliviaPopeWho?

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.

"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."
