April Meyer
Family law
Facing a divorce or a dispute over your children can feel incredibly overwhelming, especially when your family’s future is on the line. Attorney April Meyer brings a steady hand and deep, specialized experience to clients moving through these life-changing transitions. A Certified Family Law Specialist, April devotes her entire practice to family law—divorce, child custody, support, property division, guardianship, and more. She understands that clarity and peace of mind matter just as much as the legal outcome, and her goal is to make sure you feel heard, informed, and supported at every step.
April’s command of California family law is grounded in both specialized training and years in the courtroom. As a Certified Family Law Specialist, she has passed a rigorous additional State Bar examination and met the experience and peer-review standards required to certify genuine expertise in this field. She earned her bachelor’s degree in political science from CSU Stanislaus and her law degree from the Laurence Drivon School of Law, where she graduated co-valedictorian—all while working full time and attending classes at night. Across thirteen years of dedicated family law practice at Cash-Dudley & Torres in Modesto, she built the kind of hands-on experience that lets her give clients realistic expectations and a clear, down-to-earth understanding of how the law actually affects them. She regularly represents clients in the Stanislaus, Merced, San Joaquin, and Tuolumne County courts.
April’s path to family law began with a single afternoon of shadowing. Sitting in alongside a mentor, she saw firsthand how much this work matters in people’s lives—and knew she had found her calling. What she loves most is being there for people when they need it most, helping them stay grounded and make thoughtful, well-considered decisions during emotional moments. The mentors who guided her early in her career remain her greatest influence, and that same spirit of steady guidance is exactly what she offers her own clients today.
April stays closely involved in the local legal community as a member of the executive committee of the Wray Ladine Inn of Court, and she gives her time to programs that shape the next generation—serving as an attorney scorer for Mock Trial and a speech judge for the Academic Decathlon through the Stanislaus County Office of Education. She loves living in a state where the beach, a small town, the city, and the mountains are all within reach, and she’s happiest escaping to the mountains or tracking down a great hole-in-the-wall restaurant. Among her favorite adventures are seeing the glaciers of Alaska and standing at the edge of the Grand Canyon. Outside the office, she recharges with camping, reading, and family time—a grounded life that helps her remain a calm, focused advocate for her clients.
