He's been great to work with and has been extremely helpful with only the most positive outcomes in both my cases. I continue to recommend him to my friends and family. When you need help you gotta to call Mr. Applebaum.

Best friend / attorney to have on your side

Posted by

My son and I used him for what started as a small case but quickly turned into a more complex and complicated case. Mickey was there for us through out the process never leaving our side, taking our frantic calls and requests for meeting and giving us proficient and sound legal advice . Highly recommended

Happy I made the call

Posted by

I left a message at 8:30 pm on a friday not expecting to get a return call until at least monday. Mr. Applebaum called back that evening. My son was looking at real jail time and after calling several attorneys I chose Mr. Applebaum. I'm glad I did because not only did the felonies dropped, he got my son work release. He was honest and spoke to both my son and I as people not just clients. Make that call!

Amazing experience

Mr. Applebaum and his staff supported me through a difficult time--and they took great care of me every step of the way. Their expertise and professionalism were top notch and they are great people on top of that. I couldn't have asked for a better team to work with.

Best all-around representation available

Posted by

I'm a happily divorced father who Applebaum & Associates won custody of my child for and also won contested divorce, property , and paternity issues for and further saved me from many false charges in Domestic Relations court. When challenged in higher courts including Federal Court, they won for me at every level. Their dedicated staff and Michael Applebaum himself worked hard to uncover facts and then presented them in a very persuasive way. When losing would be terrible, get advice from these pros.

Highly recommended

After being disappointed in the performance of a previous lawyer, I found Mr. Applebaum. He started working on my case immediately, personally answering phone calls and emails well into the evening. He doesn't have an ego about him, and is easy to talk to because he understands that this was a difficult time in my life. Without going into too much detail I was arrested on criminal charges. My case has been going on for years and he still promptly answers any questions I have. He treated my case as if I was important, and I feel I was respected and informed throughout the whole process. I will gladly refer Mr. Applebaum to anyone I know who has any legal troubles.
