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!

Residential parent victory

April worked on my residential parenting case that resulted in a victory for my son and me. I live in Columbus and my case was in Clinton County, where my ex-wife lives. The odds were certainly not in our favor, to say the least. A father trying to gain residential parent status 1.5hrs away from t...he mother.... The first visit I had with April I asked if my case was worth taking, she said yes. I then asked if she would take the case even if she knew that the outcome would be a loss, she said absolutely not and to get a second opinion if I wanted. Needless to say that I did not get a second opinion and decided that April was the right attorney for me. Over the next year or so she checked in once a month or so to make sure I didn’t have any questions or if anything new pertaining to the case came up. Anytime I had a question or needed to consult I could call or email and knew that I would get a response typically the same day, if not the next day. Long story short April was great to work with and she got the job done! Fingers crossed I never have to use her again but if that changes, without hesitation April will be the one I call.

No child left behind!

I'm writing this review based on professional services we received from Attorney April Hermine Marlett. Our case was some what special circumstances becaused it involved multiple clients filing together to obtain an Emergency Temporary Custody. Competent counsel was crucial since children's lives de...pending heavenly on the outcome. April was that conduit that made us comfortable putting our children and grandchildren in the hands of her and her firm. Attorney Marlett listened, addressed, communicated and made us feel apart of the decision making process. We were guided to multiple outcomes but was encourage to seek a possible judgement that all parties would agree on. More importantly the children were made the priority and the professionalism that Attorney Marlett displayed, will put my faith back into the justice system once again. Our family is very satisfied with the services rendered my Attorney April Hermine Marlett.

Unprofessional

April handled my custody case and I got screwed. I was overbilled for inadequate service and do not recommend her! There are much better lawyers in the area...don't waste your time with this one!

the impossible

April represented me in a child custody case. I had made some terrible choices in my life which resulted in me having supervised visitation with my children. Within a few weeks of my retaining April, the supervised visits were dropped from the order since I am doing well and have turned my life aro...und. I thought it was nearly impossible to even consider having custody of my children, but April had faith in me that I wanted to do what’s right for the children and myself. April advised me what it would take for custody to happen and 6 months later I have shared custody! Over the past 6 months, April has kept in CONSTANT contact to make sure I am still headed in the right direction and to let me know exactly what was going on with the legal issues of my case. I have NEVER heard of a attorney replying to an email with questions I had within minutes. The longest wait was 24 hours – after she had her baby! April puts her heart and soul into her work and it shows!! I will never be able to truly repay April for her relentless effort she has made in putting the last pieces of my puzzle together. Thank you just isn't enough but I do not have the right words. I can truly recommend April ___ for her listening to each aspect of my case, advising me – whether I wanted to hear what she had to say or not – and doing what she does best, keeping the outcome of my case in the forefront. April works extremely hard to keep her client well informed of where their case stands. I would certainly employ her again in the future if the need arises. April strives to keep the financial costs down as much as possible. I cannot say enough positive things about April ___; she is a professional in every way!!!
