Please please read all the negative reviews

April Jones is the name of the firm but unless you get her you’re going to pay a lot of money for nothing! Horrible follow up, not filing motions in time, and complete lack of communication. If you’re fighting for your kids and the matter to you this is not the firm to use.

Wasted Time

I had a remote initial review of my case with a lawyer and paralegal (so I was being double billed). I explain my scenario and the lawyer assured me I had a good case. After spending a week of the lawyer calling me to talk, rambling superfluous information and always going over the time he said he ne...eded (again $$$$), the lawyer finally tells me that I should NOT file a suit. I paid them what I owed (almost $1000) and found myself a lawyer with some backbone.

Top Tier Law Firm!

I want to thank the April Jones Law Firm for the hard work that they went through to assist me with my case. I retained their firm after being served with a Motion for Retroactive child support. The Petitioner had filed the motion seeking an additional 16 years of child support for the years befo...re she had originally filed a motion to initiate child support. Throughout the entire process, April and her team provided the most professional service imaginable, all while making me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. I would call it "personal professionalism". Both April and David Collins attended the hearing, and were prepared to represent my case, making sure to let me know that we were fully prepared for whatever may occur. The Court agreed that I was subject to retroactive child support and ordered me and the Petitioner to attend mediation. Before I actually attended mediation with the Petitioner, the Court, on its own volition, revisited our motion to dismiss the motion for retroactive child support. They originally filed a motion to dismiss the motion for retroactive child support because the Petitioner had waited more than two years to seek the retroactive child support after becoming aware that she could. The Court agreed with our legal argument and event cited the law in her dismissal of the motion for retroactive child support. Without their assistance and due diligence, (not to mention, their dedication to obtaining a fair judgment) I would have been faced with a dire financial situation. I can say with certainty that I would not have had the same outcome without their representation. They were thoughtful throughout the whole process, and made sure to treat me as an individual with specific needs and concerns, and not just another case file. Everyone on their staff was helpful and responsive; I never felt like I was just another case number in a queue of other cases. I always received prompt callbacks and emails, and never felt like I was not a priority.

Great Family Law Attorney

I have consulted and referred several potential clients to Jones Law Firm. April and her staff are very professional and knowledgeable . Everyone that I have referred to Jones Law Firm expressed how pleased they were with her professionalism, cost-consciousness, and her passion in representing the...m in their cases, all while being very respectful and listening to their needs . I will continue to refer clients to April and Jones Law Firm.

Professional, Experienced, Agressive, Direct, and Caring

Ms. Jones is very thorough in her process, which produces results. She took the time to understand my situation, and address the concerns I had about my scenario and court proceedings. She is direct, and professional, yet manages to bring a sense of calm to an otherwise un-nerving situation. She i...s also registered with the BAR association in two states (California and Colorado), which happened to be perfect for my case/situation. Anyone who is facing something with civil and family court, I would highly recommend her to you, as she will not beat around the bush like many attorneys do. Instead, she gives direct information, and gives a plan of attack that has achievable and measurable results. With her help, I was able to get a fair share of time with my daughter, despite the CO state standards of a child custody for children under the age of two. I am now able to be the engaged father that I always wanted to be with my daughter. I owe so much gratitude to April and her associates and staff. Thank you, April, Kevin, and Hannah!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
