April M. Lavigne

I currently focus my practice in the areas of Estate Planning, including wills, trusts, durable powers of attorney, and advanced health care directives; Estate Administration, including probate, trust administration, and trust litigation; Property Law, including property tax reassessment and exemption issues; Contracts; and Business and Corporate law. My clients will tell you I have a strong attention to detail, exceptional client care, and provide straightforward legal advice.

I joined a boutique Santa Barbara law firm in 2005, while studying estate planning at UC Santa Barbara’s paralegal program, and continued studying law at Santa Barbara College of Law while working as a paralegal. I graduated from Santa Barbara College of Law in December of 2011 earning a specialization in business law. After being admitted to the bar in 2012, I focused my practice in estate planning and administration issues.

My extensive experience as in all roles of a law firm gives me a unique perspective on client needs, service, and case management.  In March 2020 I opened my own practice and continue to serve the Santa Barbara and the Santa Ynez Valley.
