April Christine Ball's Lawyer Endorsements
"April Ball is the go-to attorney for anyone with considerable assets who want to protect them from potential tax consequences and the cost of Probate Court. She will analyze your situation and prepare the needed documents to ensure that your loved ones are taken care of should you be disabled or upon you ultimate demise. Actually, anyone that owns a house or has assets in excess of $150,000 should have a living trust. Couples with minor children can plan for their care should they no longer be able. April can take care of all such needs."
