April Kang Seo

April was helpful from the very first day I called her. She knew we had to make some changes to what I had done on my own so she quickly set up a meeting within the week. After I explained my situation, she never once hesitated or had a negative outlook on things. With April’s confidence and efficien...cy, we stayed on top of our case and provided everything we needed to ensure our victory. I can not thank her or Melissa enough for helping me through some of the hardest months of my life.

I have to tell you one thing about April. When I met April, I was walking alone on a dark path and she helped me and held my hand through the process. I am so grateful to be her client. I have a no words to describe April but I will try. April Seo is a kind and smart lawyer. I am glad I chose ...April Seo to help me during this difficult time. I had a really good experience with her. She understands her client so deeply and she works so hard. She never forgets her work, and she is never late to respond to me. I remember my first email to April, I was looking for another lawyer and another lawyer did not reply to me when I had deadlines to respond to the court. I was so scared and alone in my situation. I emailed April Seo in middle of the night asking her if she can you help my case. April Seo responded to me at 3:00 a.m. and she told me she could help my case. I felt so relaxed and happy to read her words. Thank God I chose her. Many thanks and appreciation for April Seo's hard work and talent.

I retained attorney April Seo for a divorce with minor children. My former spouse and I were in complete disagreement about the amount and duration of spousal support. We both vowed to hire attorneys, and my first thought was I wanted the better attorney. Called April Seo on a late Friday evening.... Didn't expect a response until Monday, but she was in contact with me the same evening, and gave me confidence in her initial assessment. April had the right reviews and credentials (and Super Lawyer "Rising Star", etc etc.), but it was most clear to me at our consultation that she has great competence. Our marriage was greater than ten years (a so called 'Long Term marriage'), and I was the higher earner. Lots of risk here for me, but April was able to define and minimize my support exposure. I also wanted a 50/50 custody split. April understood the custody issues, and I felt instant relief that she'd back up my position. April was organized and prepared for either settlement or litigation (and more prepared than opposing counsel, which gave me an advantage). Good social skills with both client and opposing counsel. The process of working with this attorney was pleasant because she is engaged in what she does, and strongly advocates her client's interests. She moved things forward. Attorney told me what records to keep to help the case. Record keeping was tedious, but then these same records became a key tool in encouraging former wife's acceptance of a settlement. Client gets access to a case management portal. I liked logging on to see my case docs and status, to upload docs back to the attorney, and then also to see monthly invoices and my current trust account balance. Monthly billing is itemized, and understandable. This attorney works efficiently so that I always saw the value of the work done. Speaking of money, this attorney handles numbers and knows the Dissomaster support software; she sends for her client's review a Dissomaster report, which breaks down the monthly support amount. In less than three months, we had a favorable marital settlement agreement in place, signed by both the parties and the attorneys. This is about as fast and smooth as it gets for this type of divorce. Alameda County courts are busy, but after a delay by the court on the paperwork, the agreement was signed off neatly, as is, by the judge. The agreement contains a well-written 37 pages, she included specific provisions I wanted, and it covers all important areas in good detail. What a success. Thank you.

April, my lawyer, she is very professional and explains all my rights very clear. Although I choose some of my own opinion, she advises me in care but still respect my own thought. Unlike other lawyer will prolong the case and just want money from clients. I heard stories about lawyers will charge a ...lot of money for divorce cases but not from this one. She is very friendly and always on top of my case and keep me post. Thank you Very Much April and you did a Great Job for me!

This review is long due but am so happy I am writing one now. I have first met April in 2008 while she was still clerking at a very reputable non-profit legal office as I was directing a program for survivors of family violence in the Bay area. Even then she had impressed me with her intelligence, a...nd go-getter attitude. As a professional of over 25 years in the field of domestic violence, I was even more impressed when more recently, December 2013 through June 2014, April and I worked on a impossible case, involving different counties, and a very complex situation. AttorneyApril Kang Seo worked tirelessly, to the point, she was calling me day and night, and weekends to follow up. And, due to her amazing tenacity, incredible research, hard work, diligence and knowledge of systems, our clients finally saw justice, and a positive outcome. I actually was so amazed as this case started unfolding, especially because none of us had much hope initially, and other attorneys had already turned down this case due to the difficult nature, lack of evidence etc. April has a wonderful balance of meeting customers where they are at, with compassion and respect, but equipped with professional experience both from a high-powered law firm, and not-for-profits who dedicated their practice to defend families that need the services so desperately. She knows how to navigate both worlds with knowledge, and confidence. Don't let her her youthful good looks fool you. Once she bites it, she won't let go. I highly recommend this professional, you will be in good hands!
