Excellent representation, Great communication, Attention to detail

I had a criminal case that, while not a huge matter in the scope of things, was extremely important to me. This issue required a fair amount of research and negotiation with the prosecutor. As soon as I met April and her team I knew I had made the correct selection. April was attentive during our ...initial meeting and displayed real empathy with my situation. She explained the pros and cons of my options. Working through the selected course of action took six months and during that time April kept me informed of changes, developments, etc. I was pleased with the communication! At our first meeting she suggested some actions I might take to bolster my bargaining position and I am glad I followed her advice. The case was just resolved today and the outcome was exactly what I had hoped for. April makes you feel that she is truly interested in helping you with your situation, the personal attention was appreciated. If you are looking for excellent, attentive representation, I am pleased to recommend April Stancliff

Guaranteed support with April

Ms. Stancliff helped me with a child support modification. From our first conversation on the phone she was very campassionate, professional and thorough in her questions. I felt I was in great hands. When we meet in person, my first impression was correct. Over the time it took to prepare the case, ...Ms Stancliff stayed the same way. If I had questions she answered the same day, always professional and never judgemental. This was my first experience with a lawyer so I didn't know what to expect. Ms. Stancliff was flexible with my work hours and came to me if she needed to pick up paperwork or drop it off. A.S., explained things that I did not understand in terms or in text that I was able to comprehend. My conversations with Ms. Stancliff never once made me feel nervous or incompetent. The day before the trial, we met to review the case, and I was very impressed with Ms. Stancliff's research, organizational skills, and the knowledge of my case. The day of the trial I was confidient in Ms.Stancliff ablility to protray my case to the judge. Again, I was not wrong with my confidience in Ms. Stancliff abilities. A.S, had all her questions, and supporting documents ready. I was awarded a modification to my child support from all of the supporting document and Ms. Stancliff's professionalism. As a new lawyer I could since a little nervousness but that goes with doing anything new. It's good to be nervous, it shows you care about the outcome. Ms.Stancliff is on her way to becoming an exceptional lawyer. If I was to ever need or knew of anyone in need of a lawyer I would defiantly recommend Ms April Stancliff.
