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.

April helped me get back to my normal life

After wasting 10 months and $14k to another law firm, I decided to reach out to April. That was a decision that changed my life forever. My first appearance at the court (have made several appearance before with my old law firm) with April gave me my first victory (that so much deserved). She stoo...d with me through out the entire divorce process and she was also able to stand up to my ex's attorney. Though I was dragged several other times, April was able to get what is reasonable for me, my ex and my daughter. I have a lot of respect for April and I will recommend her to my friends and family any time.

Don't hire this law firm!!!!

Let me tell you a tale of two divorces.My husband requested a divorce in 2024 and I hired a competent paralegal that charged me 895,00 to fill out the forms and research all the necessary information.I filed all the forms myself and paid filing fees.We agreed that what was his was his and I would kee...p all my own things.Then he got punched in the face at the place he was staying and decided to come back home and try to make another go of it.I filed a motion to dismiss the divorce.Exactly a year later he decided to try again but this time he got his own lawyer which meant I had to do the same.The difference is that I thought it would make things easier.Boy was I wrong! I've paid Jones Law Firm $43,192.50 so far and the results are basically the same.DO NOT EMPLOY THESE PEOPLE!!!!!!! Get a paralegal and do it yourself!!!The courts have very informative people that will help and you will save a lot of heartache and hassles.Google the average cost of a divorce(15,000 to 20,000) and don't think if you pay more you get more.They are SERIOUSLY good at charging for every email,every question and drawing things out to take every penny you have.

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.

Posted by Steve | September 08, 2022 | Hired Attorney

Worst possible experience

Countless thousands spent on 2 failed mediations. My 1st lawyer here even got himself fired somehow. They gave my case to a lawyer they knew they were about to fire. That's it. Just legal crooks. Why pay these people countless thousands to write the same facts on the same paper that they never even f...iled with the court. Do your family a favor and run from these people

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
