Highly recommend

April was very professional in assisting me through the divorce finalization process in front of the judge.

Step Parent Adoption

April was a breath of fresh air during the process of completing our step-parent adoption. My ex was doing everything possible to make it a long and difficult process because he didn't want to be responsible for any of his back child support. We were lucky that he simply never showed up for court but... April was well prepared for if he did show up. I was confident that no matter what he tried to pull that April was ready and able to counter him and get the process done so that our family could be complete.

Incredible and Affordable

April is a fantastic attorney who’s attention to detail is only matched by her prowess in the courtroom. Her attorney costs are an absolute bargain and her clients should feel extremely confident. April represented me in a alimony dispute with my ex, we were unsuccessful but it was no fault of hers. ...Excellent attorney who will work extremely hard for you.

Grace and Tenacity

I have the utmost respect for April Stancliff due to her professionalism, fair assessment of my situation and genuinely caring approach. She takes the time to really listen while giving a fair and accurate account of where I stood on each issue. Her honesty helped in managing expectations and demon...strated to me that she has an in-depth understanding of the law with experience to back it up. As the process unfolded, April was prompt in responding to my concerns, well prepared during mediation and exceptional in the courtroom. When my case ended, I was impressed by the manner in which April handled every situation with grace or tenacity (when needed). I highly recommend April for any of your legal needs. Thank you, April!

HORRIBLE

If I was able to choose zero stars I would. April withdrew from my case roughly 20 business days before trial as I retained her to get child support for my son. I tried going through DFCS but that was unsuccessful. Her attention to detail is lackadaisical. I contacted her expressing how I was upset ...I had to find out though the opposing party the Judge on my case has changed and she abruptly emailed me withdrawing from my case. She doesn't charge you for numerous emails/phone calls then uses that as justification for her lack of attention to detail. On another occasion she prepared a document with the incorrect spelling of my son's name when we had previously discussed how his new name was going to be. Another example of lack of attention to detail. She shows up late to represent you and has you speak to the court solicitor on her behalf when while she is texting you what to say. She did not charge me for this court appearance, as she was not there when my name was called in the courtroom and again uses not being charged a court fee as justification for her mishaps. She is a fairly new attorney and I highly suggest you retain an attorney who won't back out on you last minute. Do not put your faith in April to get the job done.
