Chief Executive Officer

I thought my son’s life was over until I hired Attorney Applebaum. Attorney Applebaum was caring and understood that sometimes young people lose their way and did everything he could to ensure that my son had the best representation. His thorough research of the case and negotiation on behalf of my s...on is the reason that he did not face jail time. His rates were reasonable. I do not believe I have ever met a better lawyer. His genuine care and concern is unmatched.. I would 100 percent recommend him! I am thankful to God I hired him!

Excellent and Caring Law Firm

I don't want to get into the personal details of my case, but it involved a serious family matter that required immediate legal action. Applebaum and Associates came through completely. Olivia, in particular, is a true asset to this firm. She got right to work securing the needed court forms so I cou...ld petition for immediate custody of my children. I can't say enough about the professionalism and empathy this law firm displayed while handling my situation. Thank you so very much. I will definitely be recommending Applebaum and Associates.

Happy I made the call

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!

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 diffic...ult 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.
