"I have been fortunate to have known Avery for nearly 20 years. As a practicing lawyer, I have met many criminal defense attorneys, Avery’s knowledge, compassion and willingness to serve his clients makes him the greatest criminal defense attorney I know. Through the years I have referred many clients to Avery for criminal representation. I know that a referral means that my name is associated with the other attorney. I know Avery will provide all of his clients with a vigorous knowledgeable defense. A factor I look for in criminal lawyers is their availability, it is critical. Some lawyers don’t make time in their day for their clients. Avery is unlike these stereotypical lawyers, Avery he is a very down to earth guy; Avery is easy to feel comfortable around, open up to and work with. Avery partners with his clients, develops an action plan and encourages his clients to help them help themselves. I believe that Avery has a true calling for being criminal attorney."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Avery for several years. He is a smart, tenacious lawyer that works extremely hard for his clients. I give him my full endorsement."
"Avery is a zealous advocate for his clients. I highly recommend him to potential clients. He will fight to win every case."
"I have known Avery Appelman for nearly five years, both professionally and socially. As an attorney I am well aware of and appreciate the trust that a client places in his attorney and that attorney’s advice, especially one as important as a criminal-defense attorney. Which is why if a client or acquaintance presents me with a situation that I believe is one in which Avery can offer guidance and advice, I do not hesitate to refer to Avery."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Great follow-up. Awesome response to questions and concerns. Great Resource when your in a pinch."
"I have been an attorney licensed in the State of Minnesota for 14 years. I have known Avery Appelman for over 22 years. In my estimation, Avery has shown a high degree of skill, thoughtfulness, preparation and professionalism in preparing his cases for trial. He is one of the most intelligent, creative, caring advocates for criminal defense in Minnesota. To Avery’s credit he has won a reputation as a skillful negotiator for plea agreements, sentencing and outright complete dismissals. I have and continue to endorse Avery Appelman for his good work on his criminal defense cases and for his passion for his clients. Avery fights very hard for his clients rights… because he cares for his clients. Jeffrey R. Peterson"
