Good advice

I was fighting to get my ex property management company to return our deposit and provide a move out statement. I was getting nowhere by myself 80 days after the lease was over. After a call with April (where i was admittedly a bit panicked) she calmed me down and gave me clear instructions on how to... go about bringing the case to small claims court. I followed her suggestions (that she gave me for free), and am happy to report that once i sent out a demand letter the property management company finally decided to cooperate and sort out the mess. I now have the check i was entitled to in my hand, and its all thanks to her. Thank you for being a beacon of understanding and patience in the fight for tenants rights! -Patrick

Tyler price

Hired April in hopes of taking care of my scumbag landlord that was ripping us off.... just to make this breif she was no help very incompetent and she sided with the plaintiff.. very disappointed she totally screwed us....

Mr. Price: Get your facts straight! You did NOT hire me for anything at anytime. At no time did I communicate with the opposing party or their attorney and your claim that I somehow “sided with the plaintiff” is false and ridiculous. Obviously, you are unhappy with what resulted from your actions and you have buyers’ remorse for whatever deal YOU negotiated with opposing counsel. That has nothing to do with me as I had no part in that. Defamation is actionable and I recommend that you immediately cease and desist the publication of lies about me and what I did or didn’t do. /s/ April L. Jones, Esq.

Eviction Defense

I feel extremely lucky to of had a friend, who was kind enough to refer me to Floyd and April at CALS. April was very helpful with filing out the forms. I feel the legal terminology she had me write down made all the difference in my case. Fortunately I'm still in my home. Had I not received help fr...om Floyd and April, I'd be homeless right now. I learned a lot from April that day. I feel I learned enough that if this were to happen again, I could fill out the paperwork properly on my own. Id also feel confident enough defending myself in court. It certainly was worth the consultation feel I want you both to know how very thankful I am to the two of you. For your kindness, patience, time, and most importantly your knowledge. Once again, thank you.

Posted by anonymous | June 03, 2016 | Identity Theft

THANK YOU!!! I felt like an underdog and helped me win

I was a victim of identity theft. Someone had rented an apartment in my name, got evicted, and a judgment was set on my record. my rental history was ruined and since this had taken place 6 years ago seemed no one thought it was worth there trouble the credit agency was stone walling us and the apart...ments this had taken place at would no longer return our calls for the file they had made of the imposter so i could prove it wasn't me. I felt there was nothing i could do. i called APRIL L. JONES explained my situation and told me they would call back. i figured that would be the end of it like everyone els i called, but to my surprise within a few hours April L. Jones called me back and they had gone down to the court house and pulled the file by hand because it was no longer in electronic filing,and then sent me a copy of that judgment. they found that it was without merit, and they would also send me a letter explaining this to the credit agency telling them to remove it . we were having to move within that month and everyone I called said it would take months to help me, April L. Jones did it by the end of day. April L Jones really prevented my family from being without a home. My Family Thanks You

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.
