Latonia was one of 5 attorneys we consulted with on an ICPC and V-Docket matter and we are so happy we made the right decision! Attorneys are not miracle workers and there's a million outside factors that play into the final disposition of a case but THEY are the deciding factor on whether that process is bearable or not. We live 700 miles away from where the case took place and that can be disheartening when you're limited to how involved you can be. Thinking back to those other attorneys we spoke with at the beginning - I cannot imagine having to have endured this process with them. We highly recommend Latonia!

Latonia was amazing, strategic and extremely compassionate throughout the process. She was kind, upfront, clear about next steps, very helpful, thoughtful and 10 steps ahead. She understood my case quickly and was able to act in my best interest navigating a volatile sensitive situation in which children were also involved. I was pleased at the outcome. The efficiency and how she swiftly guided me through many points of confusion are also noteworthy. She was steady, grounding and methodical and practical- I feel blessed to have hired her.

I designate the 1-star review only for the worst of the worst. I will give 2 stars here for effort. Ms. Early will fight for your case but unfortunately, that doesn't mean she will go about it in the best way possible. I hired Ms. Earlys frim to represent me in a custody case and it was the 2nd biggest mistake I ever made, the first being marrying my husband. the firm charged me a top dollar of sub-par representation. you want to talk about overpromising and under delivering!!! that's what they do here! I actually really liked Ms. Early but not as an attorney representing me in the biggest case of my life, more the type of women id go to meet for lunch. in terms of being charged 40k for a couple court appearances and trial had more to do it her boss Sair Friemdan. to break it down, i once TEXED "what time court is the morning" and i saw on the bill .10/HOUR = $40. $40 dollars for a text back "starts @ 9:00". if this is the type of people you want to work with good luck. the problem was in the 4 court appearances i had FOUR different lawyers showed up so no one ever really learns your case.

I retained this law firm thinging I was getting one of the main attorneys. I was wrong..! I was charged top dollar and giving sub par representation. Ms. Early didn’t take the time to review my case and advised me to NOT settle my family matter THAT WE WILL WIN IN COURT! well she was wrong and the judge decided what was best in my case and it was a lot less then I was originally offered. Then she wanted to charge me more for the appeal. I could have got out of this mess without representation and been way better off. Horrible experience.

Early represented me in 2015 in a family matter, I was charged top dollar for what I believed at the time was good representation. Ms. Early speaks and writes eloquently to mask the fact that she lacks knowledge of family law and more offen that not irritated the judge with her contradicting arguments. She will bleed you dry of any money u might have, then empty the pockets of your family and friends as well. After all was said and done I was advised to sign a settlement agreement for custody that I didn’t agree with but had my back against the wall because of her inability to present the facts of the case. So you’ve been warned, pay now or pay later, or hire Ms. Early and pay both times. Bad bad bad choice for me, good luck

Latonia is a highly skilled and caring attorney. She handled my divorce with a level of professionalism that I had not seen with my previous counsel. She was proactive (without being overbearing) and provided a supportive environment during the most stressful time in my life. Latonia was responsive and I never felt like I was "bothering her." I highly recommend her for anyone seeking an honest, dependable divorce attorney who puts your needs over their ego and actually LISTENS to you. A divorce is traumatic enough without having to fight with your lawyer too.

Latonia's professionalism and dedication are only part of her charm. She is understanding, caring, and a true advocate. She is always there to guide you, every step of the way. Hiring Latonia was key in keeping my sanity thru the entire ordeal. Simply a gem in every sense of the word.

I never expected to be divorced and unfortunately still don't believe how something so simple became so challenging for reasons that are still unclear. My case was rare because of the kind of person my husband was. Latonia saw it clearly and helped me through every stage of the process. While I am officially divorced for just about 2 years, she continues to help me, as a professional and as my friend. At times it still seems surreal, but having gone through the process now with the frustrations and pressures that come from all ends, I know that I couldn't have made it through without Latonia. Latonia was more than an attorney. She has been a support system who was by my side every step of the way. There is a soft nurturing side under her extremely professional well respected exterior that makes her one of the best matrimonial lawyers, especially when there are children involved. She is honest, fair, very organized, and always one step ahead of the game. You know she always has your best interests from the start. You have confidence in her guidance and her preparing you for the reality you are about to go through.

Latonia's intelligence, dedication, and insight, are complimented by her compassion and follow thru. She is much more than an excellent attorney. She is a wonderful human being......Having switched 3 different attorneys thru my divorce, I see her as a choice candidate for a mastercard ad...."Priceless".

I used Latonia for my divorce and was so satisfied and comfortable with how things went, I had her handle the purchase of my new home as well. The divorce was incredibly stressful. Actually, home buying is too. She makes herself very available every step of the way. There are no unreturned calls or waiting weeks for answers. She was careful to make very sure that I fully understood the paperwork before signing anything. I work as an advocate and I've seen the best and the worst of attorneys. Latonia is truly at the top of the ladder.

She was fantastic! She saved my family in many ways. My ex was abusive to both me and my kids. We suffered for many years in my attempt to keep the famiky together. Latonia told me that getting custody was possible when I doubted it. At times, I felt beaten down by the courts but I was encouraged to see it through. Thank god I stayed the course. We worked together as a team. I set the goals and created the roadmap to get us there. I was able to call her at any time when I panicked. I placed my trust in her and I'm glad I did. I couldn't have done this without her.

Nearly 10 years after working with this attorney I have paid dearly for her mistakes in my divorce. In fact when discussing my situation with other attorneys over the years; the bottom line is she advised me to sign a document that NO ONE should have agreed to.
