April Rashel Curtze

I was a new case. She charged a lot, which was expected. I wish that she would have spent some time explaining a little bit more about how to handle things with my ex, who I thought was supposed to communicate with her, but chose not too. But I really wasn't explained anything. Instead she charged m...e for every email she opened. About $40 to read an email. We had a trial. She didn't prepare me for the trail, even though I did ask in advance. The Commissioner who was on the bench at the time asked more appropriate questions of the opposing parties witnesses, than she did. My ex was pro per. I had the lawyer. And yet the ex had more working in his favor, because my lawyer didn't do enough. I brought 2 witnesses to that hearing. 1 was a very credible witness who knew and seen a lot, one was nervous and shy. She called the nervous and shy witness and not the witnesses who had the greater information. She was preparing to go on a trip at that time. So maybe she didn't care as much about that case, because she was mentally already on her trip. I don't know. What I do know, is that when I realized the acting commissioner did a better job asking questions of my ex's witnesses (to try to bring some fairness into the case), than she did, I was hurt. I parted ways with her shortly afterwards. I then went pro per from then on for the next 6+ years. I ended up doing better being on my own, then working with her. So she might be worth it for you. But she wasn't worth it for me.

I could not be more pleased with the service that Ms. Curtze provided to me. She kept me up to date on everything and stayed in contact with me throughout the process until the case was settled. I never thought I would say this about a lawyer, but she was a joy to work with. I would recommend her to... anyone who needs legal help.
