I used April for my divorce.....

And I don't regret the decision! She's great! She'll keep you informed throughout the process and will work for you and with you to try for the best possible outcome from this nasty process. Don't hesitate to call her for your case!

Awesome Lawyer

There is never a good time when you seek the services of a lawyer. I recently sought out a lawyer to handle my divorce. When I first meant with April I really liked her style. She was not formal and stuffy or intimidating as many lawyers can be. She made me feel comfortable and explained to me the ...process of divorce and answered all of my questions. What really made a great impression on me was that she said I was the captain of the ship and she was there to plot the course and to help me thru the process and to work for me. Over the next 6 months she proved to me I had made the right choice. She was always available via phone or email or text message. She returned called,emails and texts promptly. She was very thorough with all documents and she helped coordinate with another lawyer that we needed to consult for division of retirement accounts thru my employer. She is knowledgable, reliable, and personable. I recommend her highly.

Very attentive and results oriented

I was referred to April by a friend, and from the start of my complicated visitation modification she was throuogh. Overall my experience after hiring her was informative, compassionate, and hard worked by her. She was always responsive and on top of my case with the utmost attention. I got the desir...ed results from working with her, and plan on working with her in the future for all my legal needs. Trust me you will be pleased with her work in all areas.

The best

I hired April for a custody dispute after being referred to her through a mutual friend. There is not another attorney anywhere that could have done a fine a job as she did with my case. From the moment my case began, April dived in headfirst. She stayed in constant contact with me, keeping me in...formed of everything, and always willing to quickly answer any questions I constantly had about my case. In the courtroom, she is a spitfire, utterly brilliant. She is quick witted, sharp, and knows her stuff! She refuses to back down, stands her ground on what is right, and will fight for what is important to you. I had 100% confidence in her and her abilities, and she proved me right after her performance in court. I am so grateful to have hired such a professional attorney who cared so much about and my case. She truly is one of a kind.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You April

I was devastated by my divorce, I had no knowledge of the process nor was i in the state of mind to make any decisions regarding the divorce. April was knowledgeable and caring. She made sure I was informed in detail on the process. She knows the law. At one point in the mediation the mediator and th...e opposing Atty challenged her knowledge on alimony, they were positive they were right, April stood her ground and after all was said and done, April was right, and I was impressed with her confidence in her knowledge. I would hire her again in a heartbeat. Thank you April for caring.
