Above and Beyond for a walk in appointment

After receiving paper work form our current landlord, we wanted to respond to the lease compliance letters a.s.a.p. After calling around to different firms/consults over the phone, we search for a lawyer who forte was landlord/tenant issues, and Mrs. April was the one! We had called once the office o...pened and received the voice mail; James had to take PTO to handle the issue, and we decided go to the office. Once, we arrived Mr. Floyd greeted us with kindness, and work our case into the busy day; and also provided us a lunch bogo to mad greens, to kill time, before we consulted with Mrs. April. James and I appreciate your time for taking us as a walk in as a walk-in surprise.

Me

Called and was given excellent customer service and advice. I am now armed with info that will keep my careless and retaliatory landlord at bay. I feel much more comfortable now that i have spoken woth this firm. It was free, and i was desperate. 5 star service without a doubt

Great help at low cost

Her team saved me so much time and money. I had minor landlord issues and just needed to know my rights. I kept having lawyers say I should pay them 150-200 dollars just for 45 minutes of consultation. With April, I was given all the resources I needed in under 25 minutes and was given a rundown on t...he basics. I’m glad I stumbled upon her page and I’m glad they were able to help me out in such short notice. BTW they work for tenant cases only! Meaning they are making sure you know 100% of your rights.

Saved my reputation

I was facing an illegal eviction, I thank God for April, because of her knowledge, and compassion and her thorough review of my situation, she uncovered, the illegal and unfair acts of my Landlord who had promised to damage my good name and my good credit. From my first meeting with her I felt a sens...e of relief, like there was at last someone on my side who was fully capable of fighting for me. I appreciate the knowledge that she passed along to me, it is going to very useful going forward. All tenants need an advocate like April.

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

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.
