Taking on Daunting Entity

The best way to add to these superb (and accurate) reviews is by saying that Ross was originally hesitant to take my case against the major medical presence in our county as they have a stranglehold on everything. He evaluated my wrongful surgery, outlined options and included me decision by decisio...n. I am thrilled with the results. Ross worked hard, professionally and smartly, answering my emails at all hours. He was meticulous about stating pros and cons and allowing me to be the final decision maker. And OMG, he has a sense of humor, can be really tough and is a pleasure to work with.

Smart, determined and capable

Ross is a terrific attorney. He displayed an excellent grasp of our case, the relevant laws and worked hard to win. More important, he worked "smart" for us, by allowing us to take on some otherwise costly tasks, considering our comments, and being realistic about the potential outcomes. He tailor...ed his advice to the situation in a way most attorneys do not, so that the final outcome was cost effective and as favorable as it could have been.

Mr. Roland Feldman

My wife and I purchased our first home, and were takin advantage of by the contractor who flipped the house. We were subject to several costly and concealed construction defects. Ross Appel took our case. Ross fought hard to win us a reasonable settlement. He took an honest steadfast approach to ...our counsel. He openly informed us of all the challenges we would face throughout the process, a 100% no B.S. perspective. He then proceeded to defend our property. We are truly grateful to have Ross as our Attorney. We hope everybody is as fortunate as we are, to have such a focused, honest, talented, hardworking defender of Truth as their legal counsel. Thank you so much!

Great Lawyer

Ross left no stone unturned and took no prisoners. He handled our complex corporate litigation with great effort and aggressive finesse. If you see Ross coming at you from the other side then you better get your ducks in a row. Make no mistake, Ross is the boss.

Securing Permit for Short term Rental for "Waterway Charleston"

Ross was recommended to me by a local Charleston lawyer as the "best attorney in town" for my particular case. I met with Ross, at his offices, who, in a very short time picked up on my particular situation. After hiring him, to represent me at a hearing in front of the Charleston County Board of App...eals, we had a satisfactory outcome. His command of the case details and the pertinent law was most definitely a major factor in me achieving the desired outcome.
