About April
Biography
Hello everyone! I am an attorney who has been practicing almost exclusively family law for over eight years with a lot of success and happy clients. I love what I do, I am informal and a lot of people find court process a lot less painful with me right by there side every step of the way. I am always accessible and I love helping people. As a mother myself, I am very sensitive to issues of children of both fathers and mothers and can articulate your position in a manner that is strong, coherent, persuasive and pleasing to the court. I invite you to send me an email so we can chat about your issues and how I may be able to help!

Bye bye money
I hired April because of a mutual friend. She was on top of her game maybe the first time we had court. I am involved in a high conflict custody battle and I thought I hired a "pitbull".

Replied last June 19, 2015I sincerely apologize for your experience, and I am very sorry for your disappointment! I take my clients very seriously and I would love the opportunity to speak with you and discover what had occurred that led to your opinion. I am very interested in being on top of my practice and try my best to please everyone, despite how very difficult it may be. Please contact me via email aprilwalshesq@ yahoo.com if you would like to give me feedback privately. I appreciate all feedback- even negative - as it helps me just that much better!
