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.

I am unable to respond to any allegations – whether I would like to or not - because of the Georgia Rules of Professional Conduct and confidentiality. Our firm always conducts itself with the highest ethical propriety and, based on the outstanding reviews written by other clients, provides excellent service to our clients. Our firm is always willing to discuss current or former representation with any client.

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.
