I began my legal career, following Law School, as an Assistant Prosecuting Attorney. During my 8 years as a Prosecutor, I handled the most serious felony matters including Murder, Assault, Rape, etc. In 1995 I went into Private Practice where I began to emphasize work in other areas such as Personal Injury and Family Law. Today my practice consists primarily of Family Law Matters, includind Divorce, Custody, Adoptions, and Guardianships. Particularly in Divorce and Custody cases you need a strong advocate to help you obtain the best result as you navigate what may be the most emotional and traumatic period of time in your life. My job is to help you do that.

Mr. Appelbaum is the consummate professional in every way. We could not have been more satisfied with the result he was able to achieve for our family. Frankly, I found it quite inspiring to watch someone with such command of their craft do what he does with such skill and precision. You can tell...

I hired John to represent me in my custody case for my daughter, John was very easy to talk to and work with. I was very pleased with the outcome of my case and that I was kept informed every step of the way. I would highly recommend John and would hire him again if I needed to.
