Excellent Personal Injury Experience

I was in a car accident in January 2016 sustaining multiple injuries. I was referred to April Dalbec by a very close friend. Mrs. Dalbec was friendly, professional and knowledgeable at our initial meeting. Throughout my case, I was always kept informed. I could always reach Mrs. Dalbec or her tea...m and when call backs were required, they were very prompt. Being able to electronically communicate was a further convenience. My case moved along quickly and was won. I would not hesitate to use April Dalbec and her firm again.

The VERY BEST

I met April in 2000 after my children were injured in the worst possible way. She was the first attorney from the firm tgat made contact with me and assured me she was going to help ,which she did more than I could ever explain. Not only was a very large settlememt made but she was my biggest cheerle...ader in this case that went on for quite some time. Her kindness and integrity went well beyond her role as an attorney. I have know her for 16 yrs and she still keeps in contact with me from time to time. She was AMAZING and I cant recommend her enough

Highly Professional, Highly Recommended

April M. Dalbec Esq. recently handled a case for me after a major accident that left me off my feet for about 2 months with serious multiple fractures. I had no insurance at the time so the week long hospital stay accrued significant financial liabilities, right when I was unable to work and in need ...of focusing on getting well. April's kind approach with me, coupled with her tenacity and negotiating skills with the insurance company and hospital billing department, left me in a significantly better position than I could have possibly been in on my own. She gave me hope, encouragement and in the end freed me from a substantial financial burden that would have haunted me for years. I am so thankful for her professionalism and her humanistic demeanor and would heartily recommend her to anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation. She gave me my life back while becoming my friend. Thank you so much April for being you and for doing what you do!

"I have known April Dalbec for over 25 years. We were fellow classmates in high school and again in law school. Having known April as a friend, fellow lawyer in the community and classmate, I am confident in my comments about her abilities and character. April is a hard-working, smart and focused person. She accomplishes what she sets out to do, and then some. Her loyalty as a friend is unavailing, and is just one aspect of her personality that translates to zealous representation of her clients. April has good common sense, combined with an acute knowledge of the laws in the various areas in which she practices (family law, matrimonial, criminal defense, and personal injury, among others). She is well known to the local bar and bench, and highly regarded as an excellent attorney. It is my pleasure to have the opportinity to endorse her for those who may be seeking an excellent attorney to represent them."
