I hired Mr. Appel to represent me for several traffic violations I received while in New Jersey, I am a PA resident. After waiting almost two years, due to Covid, and court dates being postponed, no fault of Mr. Appel, I am very happy with the results from this law firm! After the firm requested discovery from the State Police several times, it was never received. Resulting in the case and all charges being dismissed. I did not have to pay any fines or court cost. The fee for the attorney was well worth it (it wasn't much at all)!!

Amazing professional

Dismissed

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!!!!

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

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.

Incredible legal services

Using Edward Appel legal services was best decision I ever made! Got 5 different driving while suspended DISMISSED in 2 separate municipal courts among other tickets, no insurance or registration, fictions plates. I don’t know how they did but I’m extremely grateful they did it. Highly recommended to anyone I know!

Posted by anonymous | August 3, 2018

A+

Got me the best result, and also worked out a great payment plan with me and family. I hope I never need him again, but he will be the first person I call if I ever need too.

Posted by Ashley | June 11, 2018

I cannot say enough good things!

Mr. Appel was so amazingly thorough and precise! He found an inconsistency in my discovery package that probably would have flown under the radar of most. He spared me from what could have been some very hefty penalties. He was recommended to me by a friend, and I will be sure to recommend him to anyone I hear going through a similar situation!

Great experience

Thank you to the Appel Team for helping me with a few traffic tickets that I received. I was very pleased to leave court with a small fine and no points added to my license which was what I was most afraid of. Their payment plan made things less fiananally stressful as well and the team made the whole process very reassuring for a good outcome. Thank you again to Erica and Edward.

Traffic summons

it was nice experience to work with Mr. Appel Esq. His help will be appreciated the way he handled our case. thank you

Posted by Errol | April 19, 2017

Came through for me

Even though I was going to just pay my ticket and accept the points associated, Edward convinced me to fight and he was able to drastically reduce the fine amount and turn the infraction into a no point infraction. Thanks Edward!

Posted by Justin | April 16, 2017

Very knowledgeable lawyer

Mr. Edward Appel helped me avoid thousands of dollars worth of fines and avoid jail time, after I was arrested for under a gram of marijuana. He also gave me a fair price for my defense and didn't ask for a penny more when the prosecution dragged my case on for several months. He was very helpful and I would hire him again. If you are looking for a strong defense attorney consult with Mr. Appel and have him look into your case you won't be sorry.
