I couldn't recommend Appelman Law more. I reached out needing assistance with a small claims case and was put in touch with Brett. We were able to meet quickly and discuss the case. He provided easy to follow advice that I believe helped contribute to a ruling in my favor. Highly recommend!

Very professional. Has been in the game for a while. Well respected attorney in the industry. Appleman is the MAN to get the job done. Highly recommended.
I will always recommend Mr Appelman!!! had gotten in a situation in January, I had googled lawyers and I had found Brett appelman. I had called very late at night and to my surprise he answered the phone. He had no bad feelings towards me for such a late call...answered all my concerns. A few days had gone by and my gut said to hire him! I'm so very glad I did. My case may have took 7 months too long due to other parties involved but, Mr appelman kept pursuing and pushing and etc....I had never seen the inside of the court room nor do I to this day know what the judge looks like....Mr appelman kept every promise that he couldn't make lol as well as he got me the best ever ending to my case...I'm very fortunate to have had him represent me. He was very knowledgeable on everything i needed to have answered and he was very friendly as well as prompt!!! Thank you Brett appelman and team for going the extra committed miles for me!!!!! Everyone needs to hire him for sure!!

I don't think that a 5 star review is enough to thank Brett for his help. Quick action is key when people need assistance. And that's exactly what I got. In addition to being fairly priced, thorough, informative, and approachable.

Brett was amazing he helped with 2 traffic cases in two different counties at a fair rate! I highly recommend his services he’s efficient and willing to get the best outcome for you.
Gave this place a call for
Help with my security deposit,
Whoever answered immediately said well your gonna Pay us more than you get for suing we are $350 with out letting
Me say anything he hung up! What’s the point? Rude
P.S I do no leave lying reviews, the fact this law firm responded with a complete lie I would not trust them. I never expected any free service and that’s crazy to expect from an attorney. This guy said extorted by leaving a bad review is ridiculous. I have no reason to pick a random law firm to extort. !! BEWARE !!
Owner response
This person called and demanded free services or else "they would give a sh*tty Google review". We refused, and she immediately left this review. You cannot trust her, she tried to extort us and she is a liar.
I emailed them and they never responded back… 😞 not good customer service at all.
Owner response
This person was not out client. She was the opposing party in a lawsuit our client was thinking about filing, and she is clearly mad that we were able to collect money from her for our client.<br>
