Review Edward Appel

Dismissed

Posted by

John Hooper was the point man in this operation did an excellent job to clear my name and get this charge against me dismissed What a relief as I knew all along I was not guilty the facts presented by John along with the reports showed that they had nothing to convict It was a good day when DWI is tossed out as that rarely happens in the environment we live in at this time I thank all those who in the Appel law group for the help they provided me

GREAT SERVICE!!!!

Posted by

My wife and me got involved in a very serious traffic tickets that can result in my license suspensions. We was very concerned about it . You know as soon as you get a ticket lawyer fliers start raining in your mailbox. We decided to go with the highest reviews ratings, thanks God we did it. This is the reason that I’m reviewing this firm so I can help others. My lawyer was there on time even I was earlier that the court opened. He got us out of trouble and a great deal with the prosecutor. We was well informed all the time with our case. I strongly recommends this firm . We are very pleased with awesome job. keep up the good work. Congrats to all team!!!!!

DUI Case

Posted by

When I first got I touch with Edward G. Appel, he guaranteed the best outcome for my DUI case. Everything on Edward G. Appel end was handled flawlessly including rescheduling the date of my case and transactions online and/or over the phone. In person, Edward G. Appel was also a class act by reassuring that everything was going to go according to plan which made me feel a lot better about the whole situation. My experience with Edward G. Appel was awesome and I can’t thank him enough for his services.
