EXCELLENT Family/Handicapped Adult Child Support Lawyer

April has been THE single most knowledgeable and helpful person regarding ex-spousal support for my adult mentally challenged daughter. April's perseverance has most likely altered the mindset of the judges who are determined to "cut off" support for the challenged over the age of 22. She was able ...to bring to light that support for the challenged SHOULD not - and DOES not stop for the life of the adult child. She began by taking on the simple fact that the "Castle v Castle" statement had been omitted by another lawyer in previous support documents - monumentous undertaking and was the basis of ex-spouse complaint. The next hurdle was to convince the judge that just because there had not been an appeal at age 22, my daughter should still receive support. April was steadfast and determined. She was key in finding an acceptable and creative solution. I can only give her the HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION possible.

Wonderful advice and outcome.

I first consulted April and was given excellent advice regarding a potential crisis situation involving my minor grandchild. I quickly heeded her advice and she, in turn, quickly (less than 1 day) had documents drawn up and filed. April was straight forward, wise and efficient. She was also conce...rned about my well being during this situation and personally "checked on me" which meant a great deal to me. I would not hesitate to hire April again, or recommend her services. She is a smart, professional and compassionate attorney.

Best legal experience

April was referred to me by a friend who had read an article about professional women in Greene County. April faired very well in this article. I hired her to help me get custody of my kids. She proved to be the best lawyer that I had ever dealt with. ( two prior divorces and 2 lawyers ) Very informa...tive on what to expect. Kept me informed all the way to the end. She went so far as to give me updates on her husband's surgery day and again on the weekend she was to give birth to her second child. This lady is very committed to her clients. No secretary or staff returning emails, texts, or calls. All communication comes straight from her. I would consider her my Attorney going forward and I will recommend her to anyone interested in legal representation!! A-1 Attorney!!

Amazing attorney

April has been my attorney for Over 5 years.. Anytime I get any court papers (all over my kids usually) they are placed in her hands minutes later! April isn't only dedicated, professional, and on top of things, she's also a great ear. I am a very emotional person. April makes me feel comfortable an...d listens to any and all concerns I have. I recommend her to anybody who asks if I know a good Attorney. She's been through 2 custody battles with me over the 5 years and a few other cases. Prices are pretty reasonable about what you could expect to pay for a great attorney. I will trust nobody else with my babies like I trust April!

Trustworthy lawyer

April Marlett was recommended to me from a good friend. She's been my lawyer for over 4 years and I would not trade her for anyting. She was my lawyer through my divorce and helped me accomplish this with great success. I've been thoroughly pleased with her services and continued to be impressed with... her knowledge of the law. She continues to guide me and councils me in any legal needs I mite have. As the father of two kids it was extremely helpful having her perspective in understanding of how things work not only in legal needs but family too. As an example if I did not understand or had difficulty accepting somethng she would take the time to explain. I found that she was very well organized and the time was very well spent staying on task. Given my divorce almost took 3 years to finalize April is not one to settle, she will help you accomplish your goals. I don't believe that I will ever find a better lawyer than what I currently have now with April Marlat. I will continue to recommend her to my friends and anybody else that will have a need for her services.
