About April
Biography
I am a criminal defense and appellate lawyer, handling cases throughout Ohio. As a former prosecutor, I've handled thousands of cases, from driving offenses to serious felonies -- in hearings, trials, and on appeal. My most recent work includes arguing before the Supreme Court of Ohio on a First Amendment issue for a second-degree felony; and trying a fifth-degree felony theft case in Southern Ohio.
Outside of work, I enjoy running Tough Mudders, and cheering on my alma mater: The Ohio State Buckeyes.

April Campbell's Lawyer Endorsements
"April and I worked on an appeal together. I was trial counsel and she handled the appeal. I did my best to preserve the record for her in the trial court. Oftentimes when I do this appellate attorneys will completely miss the issue or not communicate with me about the case when it gets taken up on appeal. April proactively contacted me about the case, reviewed all of my pleadings, called me back again to discuss the case, and then filed and argued an excellent brief in the Fifth District Court of Appeals. The case was reversed and remanded due to April's hard work. She did a great job on the appeal and got an F4 OVI reversed and reduced to a misdemeanor."
"April is a tenacious advocate; her knowledge of legal principles coupled with strong negotiation tactics make her an exceptional lawyer.
