Exceptional Representation in a Difficult Custody Case

April provided outstanding representation in my family law and child custody case. From the very beginning, she was direct, knowledgeable, and gave me a clear understanding of what to expect. She did not just tell me what I wanted to hear—she told me what I needed to hear, and that made all the diffe...rence. My case involved challenging circumstances and required careful attention to detail, strong advocacy, and a clear strategy. April handled everything with professionalism and precision. She stayed focused on the facts, kept the case moving forward, and made sure my position was clearly and effectively presented. She was highly responsive, strategic, and always prepared. What truly stood out was her consistency in communication—she was always available, kept me informed, and never left me guessing about the status of my case. During a very stressful and emotional process, April kept things grounded, professional, and focused on what mattered most—my children. Her ability to navigate the legal system and advocate effectively on my behalf gave me confidence every step of the way. If you are dealing with a serious custody matter and want an attorney who is honest, skilled, communicative, and a strong advocate, I highly recommend April.

Best DUI Lawyer

April did amazing job with my DUI case! She was strait to the point, very professional. She dropped my case from a DUI to Wet and Reckless. If you need a lawyer that's got your back, April is the lawer I recommend.

Best Attorney in Calaveras County

April Scott Asbell is Professional and very Intelligent. April helped me get through a very nasty divorce. When I needed a restraining order, she walked me through the process and always explained things in detail. April always answered my phone calls and always responded to the hundreds of texts I s...ent her. April knows the law; she knows the court system and she knows how to get you the results you're looking for. I strongly recommend April Scott Asbell as your attorney.

Fantastic service

I was served with a civil harassment order, and April coordinated investigators to gather evidence, accelerated the court hearing, and succeeded in getting the order dismissed with prejudice in a short amount of time. If you need legal assistance in Calaveras county your options are limited, so it i...s essential that you find someone with knowledge of the local environment. In addition to her excellent legal representation she was very easy to get in touch with, was responsive to all queries, and kept me updated on the status of the case. I am a very satisfied customer.

Thoughtful, Informed, & Considerate

I had left her a message on her office voicemail and she returned my call in two days, calling me back after hours at around 7:30 pm! I've talked with my fair share of attorneys, and I have never had someone contact me as timely and as informed as she was. She had reviewed the case extensively and ha...d a strategy moving forward-a remarkable attorney. She's a credit to her species.
