Exceptional, Ethical, and Efficient - this is the Stancliff standard.

It took me a couple months to truly wrap my head around how an ex of mine could seek to not only disparage and defame me, but to go so far as to seek to destroy my life as I knew it. The devil, of course, is in the details which I can't mention here... but suffice it to say I was caught completely of...f guard, and after having spent years helping to support this other half and his lifestyle I was in a financially sensitive position. What resulted was truly unnecessary litigation following the slow and painful end of an abusive relationship - only further evidence of the character of this person I once gave my all to. In my case April went above and beyond the call of duty as my attorney. Even now I recall early morning and late night conversations about the difficulties of the case, the issues with how charges were framed, and the myriad things I could do to better prepare us both for our day in court. As my stresses weighed me down she educated me on the situation, its protocol, and took the time to lift my spirits. She empathized with my frustration and anger and helped me to not only make the best of the situation, but to harness these emotions in order to leave no stone unturned. It took many long hours scouring emails and texts, pulling up financial records, and contacting multiple organizations and businesses to properly defend our case. I wasn't alone during this time, however, because April was with me every step of the way, and helped to guide my actions to focus my efforts and work as quickly and efficiently as possible. The end result: WE WON. Not against one, but TWO charges. BOTH of which were filed due to the horrifying actions and malicious intentions of a spiteful ex. Steve Shewmaker himself was there to assist, and the pride on his face when the judge ruled was more than evident. April is an ethical, educated, informed, and empathetic legal professional whose prowess is exceeded only by her intention to serve her clients. Save for her brief moments out of the office to sleep I fear she may in fact work at all hours of the day, throughout the week. I cannot adequately thank her for all she has done for me, save for pour my heart into this review. April, you are amazing. Thank you, again.

Up and coming attorney April Stancliff

I talked to April a few weeks before my status hearing on October 10, 2014. She kept me informed as to the particulars of the hearing and always called me back if I couldn't reach her in the office. The day of the hearing she was on strategic with the approch we would take going before the Judge as I... was the plantiff against my sons mother. The order submitted by her to the court on my behalf was excellant to say the least. I was able to get things adjusted in the order that I never would have been able to had it not been for April. If you are looking for an excellant up and coming attorney contact April Stancliff and you will not be disappointed!
