Marc Alan Appel

Coming out of graduate school, I unfortunately realized a bit too late I was dating a selfish, dishonest, delusional individual (monster, really). Following some drunken abusive scene on his birthday, I was forced to move out all of his things into a house we were supposed to be living in (this was w...ith an injured hand, and my ex had my car keys, which were only returned after my car was towed). After spending the whole day moving him in on my one day off, I was served an ex parte via a protective order due to "reckless endangerment" (throwing half a glass of water on someone who almost caused a car accident and other abusive behavior from him). He made accusations of assault and abuse while I was not even present to do so. Even though I was hysterical and probably incoherent at the time of my call, Marc took my case. While his counsel (House of Ruth, mind you) refused to settle, Marc thankfully let him (and his counsel) have it in court. He did not let him get away with any of his dishonesty, tampered evidence, and other inconsistencies in his testimony. His partner, Michael, helped me with the "criminal case" and the appeal of the dismissed court case (which was withdrawn at the time of the hearing). I can only thank Marc for successfully scaring this psycho off from showing up to the last two hearings, and I am so thankful everything was dismissed--
