April S Gilbert

I met April in early 2018 after getting my 4th and 5th (back to back) DUI’s. I was looking at years in prison. April took my cases and saved my life. Orange County only accepts people with up to 4 DUIs into DUI court, however, April fought for me and got me into the program. I have had several DUI at...torneys over the years and never have any of them gone to bat for me like she did. For more than 2 years, April has been my rock throughout this process. Not only is she professional and on top of everything, she is compassionate, dedicated and the best advocate you could ask for. I owe my life to this woman, without her support I would not have the life I have today.

April Gilbert is an excellent attorney. Even when she was not yet my legal representative she showed me amazing kindness & compassion during a difficult time. It was after that encounter that I sought Ms. Gilbert out to represent me in DUI Court. My original legal representatives did not know the int...ricate nature of the DUI Court Program and I felt Ms. Gilbert was far more experienced, as well as, willing to advocate for me in the program. Ms. Gilbert did advocate for me greatly while I was in the Program. A time came when I experienced medical issues which complicated my ability to maintain my participation in the Program. Ms. Gilbert researched options for me and was able to present me with a positive, viable option. All along, she has fervently advocated for me. Words hollowly express my true gratitude to Ms. Gilbert for all she has done for me in such a short period of time. Thank you so very much!

Ms. Gilbert stepped in to consult with me during my appearance in DUI court when my original attorney did not appear. Unlike him,(David Slavin) Ms. Gilbert clearly and succinctly advised me of my options, provided proactive suggestions to position myself for a more positive outcome without making em...pty promises. Ms. Gilbert was professional, informed and has a wealth of experience. She didn't have to take time to counsel me, but moved to do so. I look forward to her representation at my upcoming court date and am very appreciative for her knowledge and willingness to share it.
