I hired April Campbell as my defense attorney based on a referral to appeal an OVI conviction in Fairfield County. Nine mos later, the lower courts decision was affirmed by Ohio Appeals Court - District 5. (I lost my appeal)Accordingly I can attest to the following regarding April Campbell, Esq.
Pros
1. She is a competent defense attorney with experience in appeals court , OVI defense, experience as a former prosecutor, etc.
2. She is somewhat assertive / aggressive in her defense and does a decent job articulating oral arguments. However there is room for improvement in both of these areas.
Cons
3. She is not as responsive as an attorney who has been paid thousands of a dollars should be. 60-70% of the time, I had to email and/or text her 2 or more times, before I received a return call or email. This is coupled with a lack of empathy in that she has yet to return my call and provide a debrief of my case since it’s been finalized … a week ago.
4. As a former prosecutor with appeals experience, I don’t believe she was as forthright about my chances of reversing/winning the case.
As a former prosecutor she should have insight into the relationship between judges and prosecutors. As was revealed in my case,
all judges were literally on the same team with the prosecutor who didn’t address any of the material arguments made by Campbell.. Early on she stated, I had a strong case but she couldn’t guarantee a win. She should have stated, it will take a miracle to reverse or overturn this OVI decision but if it’s worth thousands of dollars to you, I’ll construct some arguments. In sum, I really feel like I’ve been taken for a very expensive ride financially, mentally and emotionally.

I am impressed with the experience and lawyering skill from Ms. Campbell. She is worth every penny that she asks. She made me feel assured thru the entire process with her experience and skill. And I will not hesitate to have her as my lawyer again.

April was great in helping me through this whole process. Not only is she knowledgeable and competent in her practice but she also was very caring in how I felt through this whole experience.
I was charged with an OVI and possession of marijuana and paraphernalia. She got the OVI reduced to a physical control and the possession charge suppressed.
She did a great job and I would highly recommend her to anyone that needs someone knowledgeable, competent and emotionally supportive. She is well worth every penny spent!

Words could never express the gratitude I have for this woman!.... my whole career and life was on the line had I been convicted of this DUI..... April literally saved my life! She was very personable and made me feel like she wasn't just my lawyer, she was my friend! She went over and beyond to challenge every aspect of this charge. So much that the courts were left with no other option but to acquit me of all charges!! It was intrigued watching her in action literally fighting for my rights!! On top of all this, she was very reasonably priced, and offeres payment plan options that are manageable!! .... if you have a DUI , and your looking for a lawyer....don't even waist anymore time or money, Call April Campbell!!

I consulted with April about stepparent adoption procedure in Ohio. She provided me with timely information that helped inform our decision on when to proceed with the adoption process.
