Provided poor service

It was 3 years she stood and investigate through the matters and show true dedication and answer many questions and concerns. April has giving my family faith in the justice system. Thank you for your compassion and knowledge. We all need more lawyers like you. Thank you again Maria Salyers

She is an amazing Lawyer. Very kind and commands a courtroom.

April defended my friends daughter in a 3 year case she was positive understanding and never lost faith in the fact the her daughter was innocent!! She went above and beyond and I know wholeheartedly my friend and her daughter will be forever thankful for all she has done for them!!! Thank u so much April!!!

I would give her 100 stars. This woman is absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond for my daughter for 3 long years. She is dominant in the court room. As a former prosecutor she understands the law from both sides. Her compassion and warmth was so comforting at what was the hardest event in my daughter's life. The prosecution had 11 witnesses against my daughter. April discredited each of their witnesses then put up 1 witness and delivered a phenomenal closing argument. She was very articulate and her words compelled compassion from the jury. My daughter was found not guilty because she was innocent but without April to show the jury the truth through the lies of the police it could have been a very different outcome.

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 took a week to return my call and provide a debrief of my case when it’s been finalized (again after my appeal was lost). 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, that 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.

Hire her. She is the best. Very positive attitude, great listener, and delivers. I filed an appeal with April, and she was able to get the court to reverse their decision. I wish I would've hired her in the first place. Don't make my mistake. She's the real deal.

She literally saved my life. I was facing 2 felonies in a self defense case. Now I'm free.

extremely knowledgeable and easy to speak with

Very helpful and is willing to work with my fiance and let her make payments thank you so much for your help in her cases.
