April and Melissa were very professional from start to finish. April was my last attorney of many unprofessional and unethical attorneys in a long divorce. I did not work with her very long, however she was great the whole time. She was understanding to my Financial situation, and my needs. Her and Melissa were very prompt in answering my questions and my concerns. She did not charge for every minor issue. The billing was fair and accurate. It was even easy to close my account. Again very professional from start to finish.

April and Melissa were both very professional and knowledgeable. They were always available when I needed them. They responded quickly to emails and phone calls. They were both caring and personable. I had a very contested divorce, and it was complicated with my children. April was patient, worked hard, and also worked well with my ex's attorney. I appreciated her intelligence and the way she worked within the court system. Her paperwork was impeccable. Besides all of this, she is friendly, has a great sense of humor, and truly cares for people. She wants what is best for the family and not for herself. I recommend April and Melissa for ANY need that you have. If I need them in the future, I will definitely be back!

In this entire process, I felt like I had a big sister looking out for me. A few years ago I could of never imagined I would of been in this state (with my now ex). With my head full of emotions April helped me get to my new chapter in the most efficient manner. Thank you so much.

April was helpful from the very first day I called her. She knew we had to make some changes to what I had done on my own so she quickly set up a meeting within the week. After I explained my situation, she never once hesitated or had a negative outlook on things. With April’s confidence and efficiency, we stayed on top of our case and provided everything we needed to ensure our victory. I can not thank her or Melissa enough for helping me through some of the hardest months of my life.

April was great in helping me to communicate with my ex-wife to reduce my spousal support due to the fact that I am retired and live on a fixed income.

I worked with April to finalize my divorce with child custody issues from beginning to end. She was able to keep the case out of court. She was also very compassionate toward me and my kids and kept our personal and emotional needs front and center. April is super sharp and experienced, very responsive and bills very reasonably. I have worked with other attorneys and would recommend April over any and all of them.

I consulted with a few other attorneys before hiring April, but knew she was the perfect fit for me. She was honest with what to expect, but also gave me confidence that I could possibly have a chance at getting some things I wanted accomplished. She prepared me well for mediation twice and both times I was able to get both mediators on my side. She put every effort in making our visitation schedule, holidays and vacation time as detailed as possible. I felt that April truly cared about the best interest of my son, and that she would defend my efforts to prove that my son who has special needs should have consistency in both homes and that I have consistently been the more responsible parent. With her guidance, I was able to prove that. I am pleased with the outcome of our final judgement and would definitely recommend her. My case was high conflict and complicated, but I was in good hands.

I have to tell you one thing about April. When I met April, I was walking alone on a dark path and she helped me and held my hand through the process. I am so grateful to be her client. I have a no words to describe April but I will try. April Seo is a kind and smart lawyer. I am glad I chose April Seo to help me during this difficult time. I had a really good experience with her. She understands her client so deeply and she works so hard. She never forgets her work, and she is never late to respond to me. I remember my first email to April, I was looking for another lawyer and another lawyer did not reply to me when I had deadlines to respond to the court. I was so scared and alone in my situation. I emailed April Seo in middle of the night asking her if she can you help my case. April Seo responded to me at 3:00 a.m. and she told me she could help my case. I felt so relaxed and happy to read her words. Thank God I chose her. Many thanks and appreciation for April Seo's hard work and talent.

April assisted me with my divorce and there were no obstacles. She is very efficient, knowledgeable and proactive. She kept me abreast of everything; i.e., court delays, court dates and always kept me in the loop. I will always recommend her if anyone needs a good attorney in family law.

I retained attorney April Seo for a divorce with minor children. My former spouse and I were in complete disagreement about the amount and duration of spousal support. We both vowed to hire attorneys, and my first thought was I wanted the better attorney. Called April Seo on a late Friday evening. Didn't expect a response until Monday, but she was in contact with me the same evening, and gave me confidence in her initial assessment. April had the right reviews and credentials (and Super Lawyer "Rising Star", etc etc.), but it was most clear to me at our consultation that she has great competence. Our marriage was greater than ten years (a so called 'Long Term marriage'), and I was the higher earner. Lots of risk here for me, but April was able to define and minimize my support exposure. I also wanted a 50/50 custody split. April understood the custody issues, and I felt instant relief that she'd back up my position. April was organized and prepared for either settlement or litigation (and more prepared than opposing counsel, which gave me an advantage). Good social skills with both client and opposing counsel. The process of working with this attorney was pleasant because she is engaged in what she does, and strongly advocates her client's interests. She moved things forward. Attorney told me what records to keep to help the case. Record keeping was tedious, but then these same records became a key tool in encouraging former wife's acceptance of a settlement. Client gets access to a case management portal. I liked logging on to see my case docs and status, to upload docs back to the attorney, and then also to see monthly invoices and my current trust account balance. Monthly billing is itemized, and understandable. This attorney works efficiently so that I always saw the value of the work done. Speaking of money, this attorney handles numbers and knows the Dissomaster support software; she sends for her client's review a Dissomaster report, which breaks down the monthly support amount. In less than three months, we had a favorable marital settlement agreement in place, signed by both the parties and the attorneys. This is about as fast and smooth as it gets for this type of divorce. Alameda County courts are busy, but after a delay by the court on the paperwork, the agreement was signed off neatly, as is, by the judge. The agreement contains a well-written 37 pages, she included specific provisions I wanted, and it covers all important areas in good detail. What a success. Thank you.

I have a no words to describe April but I will try. April Seo is a kind and smart lawyer. I am glad I chose April Seo to help me during this difficult time. I had a really good experience with her. She understands her client so deeply and she works so hard. She never forgets her work, and she is never late to respond to me. I remember my first email to April, I was looking for another lawyer and another lawyer did not reply to me when I had deadlines to respond to the court. I was so scared and alone in my situation. I emailed April Seo in middle of the night asking her if she can you help my case. April Seo responded to me at 3:00 a.m. and she told me she could help my case. I felt so relaxed and happy to read her words. Thank God I chose her. Many thanks and appreciation for April Seo's hard work and talent.

April assisted me with my divorce and there were no obstacles. She is very efficient, knowledgeable and proactive. She kept me abreast of everything; i.e., court delays, court dates and always kept me in the loop. I will always recommend her if anyone needs a good attorney in family law.

I retained attorney April Seo for a divorce with minor children. My former spouse and I were in complete disagreement about the amount and duration of spousal support. We both vowed to hire attorneys, and my first thought was I wanted the better attorney. Called April Seo on a late Friday evening. Didn't expect a response until Monday, but she was in contact with me the same evening, and gave me confidence in her initial assessment. April had the right reviews and credentials (and Super Lawyer "Rising Star", etc etc.), but it was most clear to me at our consultation that she has great competence. Our marriage was greater than ten years (a so called 'Long Term marriage'), and I was the higher earner. Lots of risk here for me, but April was able to define and minimize my support exposure. I also wanted a 50/50 custody split. April understood the custody issues, and I felt instant relief that she'd back up my position. April was organized and prepared for either settlement or litigation (and more prepared than opposing counsel, which gave me an advantage). Good social skills with both client and opposing counsel. The process of working with this attorney was pleasant because she is engaged in what she does, and strongly advocates her client's interests. She moved things forward. Attorney told me what records to keep to help the case. Record keeping was tedious, but then these same records became a key tool in encouraging former wife's acceptance of a settlement. Client gets access to a case management portal. I liked logging on to see my case docs and status, to upload docs back to the attorney, and then also to see monthly invoices and my current trust account balance. Monthly billing is itemized, and understandable. This attorney works efficiently so that I always saw the value of the work done. Speaking of money, this attorney handles numbers and knows the Dissomaster support software; she sends for her client's review a Dissomaster report, which breaks down the monthly support amount. In less than three months, we had a favorable marital settlement agreement in place, signed by both the parties and the attorneys. This is about as fast and smooth as it gets for this type of divorce. Alameda County courts are busy, but after a delay by the court on the paperwork, the agreement was signed off neatly, as is, by the judge. The agreement contains a well-written 37 pages, she included specific provisions I wanted, and it covers all important areas in good detail. What a success. Thank you.

April and Melissa were very professional from start to finish. April was my last attorney of many unprofessional and unethical attorneys in a long divorce. I did not work with her very long, however she was great the whole time. She was understanding to my Financial situation, and my needs. Her and Melissa were very prompt in answering my questions and my concerns. She did not charge for every minor issue. The billing was fair and accurate. It was even easy to close my account. Again very professional from start to finish.

April and Melissa were both very professional and knowledgeable. They were always available when I needed them. They responded quickly to emails and phone calls. They were both caring and personable. I had a very contested divorce, and it was complicated with my children. April was patient, worked hard, and also worked well with my ex's attorney. I appreciated her intelligence and the way she worked within the court system. Her paperwork was impeccable. Besides all of this, she is friendly, has a great sense of humor, and truly cares for people. She wants what is best for the family and not for herself. I recommend April and Melissa for ANY need that you have. If I need them in the future, I will definitely be back!

In this entire process, I felt like I had a big sister looking out for me. A few years ago I could of never imagined I would of been in this state (with my now ex). With my head full of emotions April helped me get to my new chapter in the most efficient manner. Thank you so much.

April was helpful from the very first day I called her. She knew we had to make some changes to what I had done on my own so she quickly set up a meeting within the week. After I explained my situation, she never once hesitated or had a negative outlook on things. With April’s confidence and efficiency, we stayed on top of our case and provided everything we needed to ensure our victory. I can not thank her or Melissa enough for helping me through some of the hardest months of my life.

April was great in helping me to communicate with my ex-wife to reduce my spousal support due to the fact that I am retired and live on a fixed income.

I worked with April to finalize my divorce with child custody issues from beginning to end. She was able to keep the case out of court. She was also very compassionate toward me and my kids and kept our personal and emotional needs front and center. April is super sharp and experienced, very responsive and bills very reasonably. I have worked with other attorneys and would recommend April over any and all of them.

I consulted with a few other attorneys before hiring April, but knew she was the perfect fit for me. She was honest with what to expect, but also gave me confidence that I could possibly have a chance at getting some things I wanted accomplished. She prepared me well for mediation twice and both times I was able to get both mediators on my side. She put every effort in making our visitation schedule, holidays and vacation time as detailed as possible. I felt that April truly cared about the best interest of my son, and that she would defend my efforts to prove that my son who has special needs should have consistency in both homes and that I have consistently been the more responsible parent. With her guidance, I was able to prove that. I am pleased with the outcome of our final judgement and would definitely recommend her. My case was high conflict and complicated, but I was in good hands.

I appreciated her intelligence and the way she worked within the court system. Her paperwork was impeccable. Besides all of this, she is friendly, has a great sense of humor, and truly cares for people. She wants what is best for the family and not for herself. I recommend April and Melissa for ANY need that you have. If I need them in the future, I will definitely be back!

In this entire process, I felt like I had a big sister looking out for me. A few years ago I could of never imagined I would of been in this state (with my now ex). With my head full of emotions April helped me get to my new chapter in the most efficient manner. Thank you so much.

April was helpful from the very first day I called her. She knew we had to make some changes to what I had done on my own so she quickly set up a meeting within the week. After I explained my situation, she never once hesitated or had a negative outlook on things. With April’s confidence and efficiency, we stayed on top of our case and provided everything we needed to ensure our victory. I can not thank her or Melissa enough for helping me through some of the hardest months of my life.

April was great in helping me to communicate with my ex-wife to reduce my spousal support due to the fact that I am retired and live on a fixed income.

I worked with April to finalize my divorce with child custody issues from beginning to end. She was able to keep the case out of court. She was also very compassionate toward me and my kids and kept our personal and emotional needs front and center. April is super sharp and experienced, very responsive and bills very reasonably. I have worked with other attorneys and would recommend April over any and all of them.

I consulted with a few other attorneys before hiring April, but knew she was the perfect fit for me. She was honest with what to expect, but also gave me confidence that I could possibly have a chance at getting some things I wanted accomplished. She prepared me well for mediation twice and both times I was able to get both mediators on my side. She put every effort in making our visitation schedule, holidays and vacation time as detailed as possible. I felt that April truly cared about the best interest of my son, and that she would defend my efforts to prove that my son who has special needs should have consistency in both homes and that I have consistently been the more responsible parent. With her guidance, I was able to prove that. I am pleased with the outcome of our final judgement and would definitely recommend her. My case was high conflict and complicated, but I was in good hands.

I have to tell you one thing about April. When I met April, I was walking alone on a dark path and she helped me and held my hand through the process. I am so grateful to be her client. I have a no words to describe April but I will try. April Seo is a kind and smart lawyer. I am glad I chose April Seo to help me during this difficult time. I had a really good experience with her. She understands her client so deeply and she works so hard. She never forgets her work, and she is never late to respond to me. I remember my first email to April, I was looking for another lawyer and another lawyer did not reply to me when I had deadlines to respond to the court. I was so scared and alone in my situation. I emailed April Seo in middle of the night asking her if she can you help my case. April Seo responded to me at 3:00 a.m. and she told me she could help my case. I felt so relaxed and happy to read her words. Thank God I chose her. Many thanks and appreciation for April Seo's hard work and talent.

April assisted me with my divorce and there were no obstacles. She is very efficient, knowledgeable and proactive. She kept me abreast of everything; i.e., court delays, court dates and always kept me in the loop. I will always recommend her if anyone needs a good attorney in family law.

I retained attorney April Seo for a divorce with minor children. My former spouse and I were in complete disagreement about the amount and duration of spousal support. We both vowed to hire attorneys, and my first thought was I wanted the better attorney. Called April Seo on a late Friday evening. Didn't expect a response until Monday, but she was in contact with me the same evening, and gave me confidence in her initial assessment. April had the right reviews and credentials (and Super Lawyer "Rising Star", etc etc.), but it was most clear to me at our consultation that she has great competence. Our marriage was greater than ten years (a so called 'Long Term marriage'), and I was the higher earner. Lots of risk here for me, but April was able to define and minimize my support exposure. I also wanted a 50/50 custody split. April understood the custody issues, and I felt instant relief that she'd back up my position. April was organized and prepared for either settlement or litigation (and more prepared than opposing counsel, which gave me an advantage). Good social skills with both client and opposing counsel. The process of working with this attorney was pleasant because she is engaged in what she does, and strongly advocates her client's interests. She moved things forward. Attorney told me what records to keep to help the case. Record keeping was tedious, but then these same records became a key tool in encouraging former wife's acceptance of a settlement. Client gets access to a case management portal. I liked logging on to see my case docs and status, to upload docs back to the attorney, and then also to see monthly invoices and my current trust account balance. Monthly billing is itemized, and understandable. This attorney works efficiently so that I always saw the value of the work done. Speaking of money, this attorney handles numbers and knows the Dissomaster support software; she sends for her client's review a Dissomaster report, which breaks down the monthly support amount. In less than three months, we had a favorable marital settlement agreement in place, signed by both the parties and the attorneys. This is about as fast and smooth as it gets for this type of divorce. Alameda County courts are busy, but after a delay by the court on the paperwork, the agreement was signed off neatly, as is, by the judge. The agreement contains a well-written 37 pages, she included specific provisions I wanted, and it covers all important areas in good detail. What a success. Thank you.

April and Melissa were very professional from start to finish. April was my last attorney of many unprofessional and unethical attorneys in a long divorce. I did not work with her very long, however she was great the whole time. She was understanding to my Financial situation, and my needs. Her and Melissa were very prompt in answering my questions and my concerns. She did not charge for every minor issue. The billing was fair and accurate. It was even easy to close my account. Again very professional from start to finish.

We both vowed to hire attorneys, and my first thought was I wanted the better attorney. Called April Seo on a late Friday evening. Didn't expect a response until Monday, but she was in contact with me the same evening, and gave me confidence in her initial assessment. April had the right reviews and credentials (and Super Lawyer "Rising Star", etc etc.), but it was most clear to me at our consultation that she has great competence. Our marriage was greater than ten years (a so called 'Long Term marriage'), and I was the higher earner. Lots of risk here for me, but April was able to define and minimize my support exposure. I also wanted a 50/50 custody split. April understood the custody issues, and I felt instant relief that she'd back up my position. April was organized and prepared for either settlement or litigation (and more prepared than opposing counsel, which gave me an advantage). Good social skills with both client and opposing counsel. The process of working with this attorney was pleasant because she is engaged in what she does, and strongly advocates her client's interests. She moved things forward. Attorney told me what records to keep to help the case. Record keeping was tedious, but then these same records became a key tool in encouraging former wife's acceptance of a settlement. Client gets access to a case management portal. I liked logging on to see my case docs and status, to upload docs back to the attorney, and then also to see monthly invoices and my current trust account balance. Monthly billing is itemized, and understandable. This attorney works efficiently so that I always saw the value of the work done. Speaking of money, this attorney handles numbers and knows the Dissomaster support software; she sends for her client's review a Dissomaster report, which breaks down the monthly support amount. In less than three months, we had a favorable marital settlement agreement in place, signed by both the parties and the attorneys. This is about as fast and smooth as it gets for this type of divorce. Alameda County courts are busy, but after a delay by the court on the paperwork, the agreement was signed off neatly, as is, by the judge. The agreement contains a well-written 37 pages, she included specific provisions I wanted, and it covers all important areas in good detail. What a success. Thank you.

April and Melissa were very professional from start to finish. April was my last attorney of many unprofessional and unethical attorneys in a long divorce. I did not work with her very long, however she was great the whole time. She was understanding to my Financial situation, and my needs. Her and Melissa were very prompt in answering my questions and my concerns. She did not charge for every minor issue. The billing was fair and accurate. It was even easy to close my account. Again very professional from start to finish.

April and Melissa were both very professional and knowledgeable. They were always available when I needed them. They responded quickly to emails and phone calls. They were both caring and personable. I had a very contested divorce, and it was complicated with my children. April was patient, worked hard, and also worked well with my ex's attorney. I appreciated her intelligence and the way she worked within the court system. Her paperwork was impeccable. Besides all of this, she is friendly, has a great sense of humor, and truly cares for people. She wants what is best for the family and not for herself. I recommend April and Melissa for ANY need that you have. If I need them in the future, I will definitely be back!

In this entire process, I felt like I had a big sister looking out for me. A few years ago I could of never imagined I would of been in this state (with my now ex). With my head full of emotions April helped me get to my new chapter in the most efficient manner. Thank you so much.

April was helpful from the very first day I called her. She knew we had to make some changes to what I had done on my own so she quickly set up a meeting within the week. After I explained my situation, she never once hesitated or had a negative outlook on things. With April’s confidence and efficiency, we stayed on top of our case and provided everything we needed to ensure our victory. I can not thank her or Melissa enough for helping me through some of the hardest months of my life.

April was great in helping me to communicate with my ex-wife to reduce my spousal support due to the fact that I am retired and live on a fixed income.

I worked with April to finalize my divorce with child custody issues from beginning to end. She was able to keep the case out of court. She was also very compassionate toward me and my kids and kept our personal and emotional needs front and center. April is super sharp and experienced, very responsive and bills very reasonably. I have worked with other attorneys and would recommend April over any and all of them.

I consulted with a few other attorneys before hiring April, but knew she was the perfect fit for me. She was honest with what to expect, but also gave me confidence that I could possibly have a chance at getting some things I wanted accomplished. She prepared me well for mediation twice and both times I was able to get both mediators on my side. She put every effort in making our visitation schedule, holidays and vacation time as detailed as possible. I felt that April truly cared about the best interest of my son, and that she would defend my efforts to prove that my son who has special needs should have consistency in both homes and that I have consistently been the more responsible parent. With her guidance, I was able to prove that. I am pleased with the outcome of our final judgement and would definitely recommend her. My case was high conflict and complicated, but I was in good hands.

I have to tell you one thing about April. When I met April, I was walking alone on a dark path and she helped me and held my hand through the process. I am so grateful to be her client. I have a no words to describe April but I will try. April Seo is a kind and smart lawyer. I am glad I chose April Seo to help me during this difficult time. I had a really good experience with her. She understands her client so deeply and she works so hard. She never forgets her work, and she is never late to respond to me. I remember my first email to April, I was looking for another lawyer and another lawyer did not reply to me when I had deadlines to respond to the court. I was so scared and alone in my situation. I emailed April Seo in middle of the night asking her if she can you help my case. April Seo responded to me at 3:00 a.m. and she told me she could help my case. I felt so relaxed and happy to read her words. Thank God I chose her. Many thanks and appreciation for April Seo's hard work and talent.

April assisted me with my divorce and there were no obstacles. She is very efficient, knowledgeable and proactive. She kept me abreast of everything; i.e., court delays, court dates and always kept me in the loop. I will always recommend her if anyone needs a good attorney in family law.

I worked with April to finalize my divorce with child custody issues from beginning to end. She was able to keep the case out of court. She was also very compassionate toward me and my kids and kept our personal and emotional needs front and center. April is super sharp and experienced, very responsive and bills very reasonably. I have worked with other attorneys and would recommend April over any and all of them.

I consulted with a few other attorneys before hiring April, but knew she was the perfect fit for me. She was honest with what to expect, but also gave me confidence that I could possibly have a chance at getting some things I wanted accomplished. She prepared me well for mediation twice and both times I was able to get both mediators on my side. She put every effort in making our visitation schedule, holidays and vacation time as detailed as possible. I felt that April truly cared about the best interest of my son, and that she would defend my efforts to prove that my son who has special needs should have consistency in both homes and that I have consistently been the more responsible parent. With her guidance, I was able to prove that. I am pleased with the outcome of our final judgement and would definitely recommend her. My case was high conflict and complicated, but I was in good hands.

I have to tell you one thing about April. When I met April, I was walking alone on a dark path and she helped me and held my hand through the process. I am so grateful to be her client. I have a no words to describe April but I will try. April Seo is a kind and smart lawyer. I am glad I chose April Seo to help me during this difficult time. I had a really good experience with her. She understands her client so deeply and she works so hard. She never forgets her work, and she is never late to respond to me. I remember my first email to April, I was looking for another lawyer and another lawyer did not reply to me when I had deadlines to respond to the court. I was so scared and alone in my situation. I emailed April Seo in middle of the night asking her if she can you help my case. April Seo responded to me at 3:00 a.m. and she told me she could help my case. I felt so relaxed and happy to read her words. Thank God I chose her. Many thanks and appreciation for April Seo's hard work and talent.

April assisted me with my divorce and there were no obstacles. She is very efficient, knowledgeable and proactive. She kept me abreast of everything; i.e., court delays, court dates and always kept me in the loop. I will always recommend her if anyone needs a good attorney in family law.

I retained attorney April Seo for a divorce with minor children. My former spouse and I were in complete disagreement about the amount and duration of spousal support. We both vowed to hire attorneys, and my first thought was I wanted the better attorney. Called April Seo on a late Friday evening. Didn't expect a response until Monday, but she was in contact with me the same evening, and gave me confidence in her initial assessment. April had the right reviews and credentials (and Super Lawyer "Rising Star", etc etc.), but it was most clear to me at our consultation that she has great competence. Our marriage was greater than ten years (a so called 'Long Term marriage'), and I was the higher earner. Lots of risk here for me, but April was able to define and minimize my support exposure. I also wanted a 50/50 custody split. April understood the custody issues, and I felt instant relief that she'd back up my position. April was organized and prepared for either settlement or litigation (and more prepared than opposing counsel, which gave me an advantage). Good social skills with both client and opposing counsel. The process of working with this attorney was pleasant because she is engaged in what she does, and strongly advocates her client's interests. She moved things forward. Attorney told me what records to keep to help the case. Record keeping was tedious, but then these same records became a key tool in encouraging former wife's acceptance of a settlement. Client gets access to a case management portal. I liked logging on to see my case docs and status, to upload docs back to the attorney, and then also to see monthly invoices and my current trust account balance. Monthly billing is itemized, and understandable. This attorney works efficiently so that I always saw the value of the work done. Speaking of money, this attorney handles numbers and knows the Dissomaster support software; she sends for her client's review a Dissomaster report, which breaks down the monthly support amount. In less than three months, we had a favorable marital settlement agreement in place, signed by both the parties and the attorneys. This is about as fast and smooth as it gets for this type of divorce. Alameda County courts are busy, but after a delay by the court on the paperwork, the agreement was signed off neatly, as is, by the judge. The agreement contains a well-written 37 pages, she included specific provisions I wanted, and it covers all important areas in good detail. What a success. Thank you.

April and Melissa were very professional from start to finish. April was my last attorney of many unprofessional and unethical attorneys in a long divorce. I did not work with her very long, however she was great the whole time. She was understanding to my Financial situation, and my needs. Her and Melissa were very prompt in answering my questions and my concerns. She did not charge for every minor issue. The billing was fair and accurate. It was even easy to close my account. Again very professional from start to finish.

April and Melissa were both very professional and knowledgeable. They were always available when I needed them. They responded quickly to emails and phone calls. They were both caring and personable. I had a very contested divorce, and it was complicated with my children. April was patient, worked hard, and also worked well with my ex's attorney. I appreciated her intelligence and the way she worked within the court system. Her paperwork was impeccable. Besides all of this, she is friendly, has a great sense of humor, and truly cares for people. She wants what is best for the family and not for herself. I recommend April and Melissa for ANY need that you have. If I need them in the future, I will definitely be back!

In this entire process, I felt like I had a big sister looking out for me. A few years ago I could of never imagined I would of been in this state (with my now ex). With my head full of emotions April helped me get to my new chapter in the most efficient manner. Thank you so much.

April was helpful from the very first day I called her. She knew we had to make some changes to what I had done on my own so she quickly set up a meeting within the week. After I explained my situation, she never once hesitated or had a negative outlook on things. With April’s confidence and efficiency, we stayed on top of our case and provided everything we needed to ensure our victory. I can not thank her or Melissa enough for helping me through some of the hardest months of my life.
