About April
Biography
I graduated from New England School of Law in 2009, and since then have practiced family law exclusively.
I provide a customized, smart, practical and effective plan of representation to each of my clients.
I represent clients in all aspects of divorce and separation, including support, property division, and custody and child support. I also advise clients on marriage contracts and cohabitation agreements, which range from straightforward to sophisticated contracts.
My committment to families extends past my work as a divorce attorney. I serve as a Board Member for Nashville's GJCC, Children's House of Nashville, National Council of Jewish Women Nashville Section, and the Advisory Board for the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences for Belmont University.
As a family law attorney, I have the honor of serving those in need by being their voice, their advocate and helping guide their families forward.
