Legal Consultant Paralegal
A legal consultant paralegal, like Aprille Barker, provides personalized and reliable legal support, focusing on real-world outcomes and client care. While a paralegal cannot represent you in court, they can educate you on legal processes, help navigate the legal system, advocate for you, and assist with court preparation and document management.

Attorney
Attorneys are essential for legal representation in court, focusing on case law, precedent, and the more technical aspects of your case. They provide legal advice, represent you in legal proceedings, and handle complex legal matters.
Think of this as the difference between a Nurse Practitioner (NP) and a Medical Doctor (MD): attorneys focus on the technical details of case law, and legal precedent, while Aprille focuses on the practical aspects, offering a more nurturing and hands-on approach for her clients.
