The Best of the Best

I hired to April to represent me in an ongoing divorce case that had already been established but was not yet final. My ex husband and I had previously hired a low priced attorney that helped us reach an agreement regarding custody of our child and support. That arrangement quickly turned sour when I... realized it was not in my, nor my child’s best interest. I walked into April’s office a complete wreck but she quickly calmed me fears and took action immediately to stop the current proceedings and ensure that I had a solid custody and support arrangement. Thank you to April and her staff for guiding me in every aspect of my situation, and for professionally advising me on how to make decisions that that may work “today” but will not work in the future. The extra money spent hiring April has paid for itself 10x over, saved me thousands in fees I would have spent in future litigation, and was worth every penny for the sake of my child’s well-being which is priceless. I highly recommend Stafford Law Group to anyone in need of a skilled attorney to guide them through the legal process and assist with legal battles that could affect them for the rest of their life! 5 stars all the way!

untrustworthy

I hired this firm in a divorce and custody case. They collected thousands of dollars of evidence that was not brought out in court. My biggest proof was supenoed persons that I was charged for but 10 days after court I downloaded all the court documents to find the supenoed people were never entered ...to be served. We emailed on mental records and I explained how easy it was to get them and she emailed me saying they had it worked out but at court she changed what she had said. I feel her actions destroyed my chance of helping my child as without her using the evidence an appeal is not possible. I would not recommend this firm if you really want to help your child

"I have had the rare privilege of working for April as her Law Clerk in Law School and working with her as a fellow attorney since passing the Bar. From both experiences I can tell you that she extremely knowledgeable, caring, and driven. With April you have a zealous and caring advocate with elite ability in the courtroom. On numerous occasions, April has gone above and beyond the call of duty and I have no doubt will continue to do so. Without hesitation, I endorse her for any matter that you may need an attorney."

"Working with April is always a wonderful experience. She is extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and well-prepared. April is exactly the kind of attorney you want on the other side of a case-pleasant and easy to deal with while still zealously advocating her client's position."
