April Lee Board

I hired April Edwards to represent me in a couple different cases in Vandenberg and warrick county. The retainer agreement that I signed stated that she would resolve both cases and get me a conditional driver's license. I caught a new charge in the middle of the case of which she told me she wanted ...an additional $500. I had no problem with that however needed a little time to come up with it being that my wife is unemployed and we are a one income family. She then asked if I would sign a bond released agreement which I would not do to the fact that it was not my money which I later talked to my mother whose money it was who gave me the okay to tell them they could have the money which I did. Then I was charged with a felony charge in Vanderburgh county stemming from an alleged incident from over a year ago. When I talk to her office they told me that they would not represent me in that case. I then started calling other attorneys. The next time I spoke to Miss April Edwards office they asked me again for the $150 filing fee for my conditional license and I told them that since they were not going to take the case in Vanderburgh county that I hired someone else to take that case and would just have them file for the license. It wasn't even 8 hours later I received an email stating that she wanted to withdraw from my case. I then requested a partial refund to which I got no response for days. After repeated efforts she finally responded with a refusal saying that she more than earned her money which I totally disagree with because the agreement clearly stated that she would resolve my cases which she did not. She partially completed my case therefore I feel I should only have to partially pay her.

April is a great lawyer. She took the time to really get to know our family and the situation we faced. She has a very pleasant demeanor and is very easy to work with before and during court. She is fiercely competitive and fights aggressively for her clients. She smiled a lot during our pre-trial co...nferences with the opposing party but once we got in the courtroom, she was all business. The other party never knew what hit them. She grabbed the initiative right from the start and never let go. If I need to go back to court on custody or child support issues, you can bet I'll retain her again.

April is a highly qualified attorney. She was recommended to me by my neighbor who used her for his divorce. He could not say enough about her, how she was always prepared and new the laws of Indiana better than most. I met with her several years ago to discuss my possible divorce and she was recepti...ve and genuinely concerned. She met with me for over an hour to discuss my situation. Two years later when I decided to divorce my wife she was there, offering her support and expertise. Divorce is a terrible thing to go through and April acted as my friend- especially through a mediation session. I felt comfortable -like she was my friend as well as my attorney. I would highly recommend April Board to anyone needing a professional and understanding attorney.

I first met April when she came to my rescue while I was being taken to the cleaners by another lawyer. While talking to a friend, I had voiced my disgust about the crooked parties that I was suing & the fact that my current lawyer had been siphoning money from me for years without any results! My f...riend suggested that I contact April. I called April & after explaining my situation to her, she was willing to take a look at the case for me. Shortly afterwards, she indeed, did become my new attorney. With April at the helm, my case suddenly started to see action, a lot of action. My case had already dragged on for over 5 years, but April immediately started making things happen. All of a sudden, I had lawyers from the other side wanting to set-up mediation meetings, depositions were being taken, witnesses were being brought in for questioning, I was receiving numerous calls & things were finally starting to come together. It was if the other side suddenly realized “Holy Crap he’s got a real lawyer”. Almost at the same instance that this suit was being settled, two more problems came about for me. This time it was with an employer & a hospital. April took immediate action again & we got these matters settled & closed very quickly. April has proven herself to be both a life saver & a new friend in many ways. She pulled me up out of what I initially thought was a totally hopeless situation. She showed me that these things could all be handled efficiently & without totally devastating my finances. All I needed was for the right person to care. April proved that she was this person in more ways than one. She knew from reviewing my case that I was in a desperate situation, both emotionally & financially. She & her staff, worked with me in the most professional & friendly manner. April & her staff proved themselves to be some of the most friendly, considerate & knowledgeable people I have ever met. I will without hesitation, recommend her to all friends & family.
