Posted by ELSA | January 16, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Family

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!

"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."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
