Appell Trial Attorneys

Nick is such a cool guy. He communicates very well and he gives all his clients his personal cell phone. Highly recommend him

Nicholas is the most trustworthy person I’ve ever met. He is direct, forward and tells it like it is.

I was really stressed out about my injuries from an accident I was involved in. And he was able to reassure me and help me out. I was more than satisfied.

I cannot recommend Nicholas Appel highly enough for personal injury and motor vehicle versus pedestrian cases in San Diego. Nick represented me after I was hit by a truck while crossing the street, and from the start he made an incredibly stressful situation feel manageable. He stayed calm, informed, and completely on top of my case the entire time. Communication was consistent and clear. I always knew what was happening, what the next steps were, and why certain decisions were being made. What really sets Nick apart is his composure and confidence. He never lost his cool, never felt rushed, and always came across as someone who genuinely knew what he was doing. While no one wants to go to trial, Nick was fully prepared and willing to take my case all the way if needed. That alone says a lot about his confidence as an attorney and as a litigator. You could tell he was ready to fight for me until the very end. As someone who hopes to become an attorney in the future, working with Nick was honestly inspiring. He clearly cares about his clients and takes his responsibility seriously. That care showed in the outcome. I received a six-figure settlement, and I am incredibly grateful for the way he handled my case from beginning to end. On a personal level, Nick is also just a great person to work with. He’s approachable, easy to talk to, and professional without being intimidating. Watching him switch from everyday Nick to full-on “Esquire Nick” when it was time to get serious was impressive and reassuring. If you are looking for a personal injury attorney in San Diego, especially for a pedestrian accident involving a vehicle, I would recommend Nicholas Appel without hesitation.

Nicholas helped me tremendously with my personal injury case when my old firm sat on my case for over a year and a half! In just two weeks, he was able to get a settlement over 2x higher than the previous firm. I highly recommend Nicholas for a slip and fall personal injury case.

Nick is a rare find in the legal world. His command of employment and discrimination law is elite, but what really sets him apart is his ability to act as a true partner and coach throughout the entire litigation process. He’s incredibly sharp and effective, yet he never lost that personal touch—he was always friendly and made a point to answer every one of my calls and texts directly. I’m very big on efficiency and clear communication, and Nick exceeded my expectations on both fronts. If you need a formidable advocate who actually stays in the trenches with you, I highly recommend him and his firm.

Working with Nick was an absolute pleasure. He was candid, personable, and professional throughout our engagement with him, but most of all he was extremely effective. He has a complete mastery of the law and the intricacies of litigation and was able to not only get results, but also was a partner and coach at every step. His knowledge and experience around employment and discrimination law was evidenced at every touchpoint. I highly recommend him and his firm for any legal matter.
