Joseph P. Appelt Jr.

I completely, and totally agree with every person that gave Mr. Appelt one star! I don't know where to begin... Okay I retained him back in January to help fight my ex husband for the very large amount of child arrears owed. So our case was moved to march during spring break. So I call to make sure e...verything was in order, and their rude secretary tells me they are on vacation!!! Waa? Like a day before our court case. So they move it again. This time in May. Court case comes around, and what do you know? A 'death in the family' so case got moved again. When he was finally able to show up, he was not prepared, he was late, had nothing prepared, barely even fought for me. And this was just the beginning of July. I ended up losing a lot of money because he did not spend any time on my case at all. He pretty much just winged it. Didn't fight for me at all. Plain and simple. His wife Gladys was very rude. Did not return call or messages, their secretary or whoever she is that answers the phones was rude as hell too! Very unprofessional. I would not recommend them. It's a big waste of money. I will get someone better and who actually cares the next time. I can say some other things, just don't feel like typing it all. Overall, he just didn't care and didn't spend any time on my case, like he had bigger and more important cases to think about, but had no problem taking my money.

This attorney was in charge of my divorce and did not help at all. Never got anything done. Papers that were to be filed in court were never filed by him or his secretary. Every time I called the office I hardly talk to someone. My call were very rarely answered and when they were they would al...ways say, "I will call you back" and never got a call back. It seem that I was bothering them, even thou I was paying. I was very unhappy with this attorney but I was just too far in with money that I could not got somewhere else. I would not recommend this attorney to anybody not even my worst enemy.

I agree with previous clients. At first them act very interested in you as a client but once you sign the contract it's all down hill after that. I retained Mr Appelt for my divorce back in 09. It is now 2011 and I'm yet to hear from them. I have called them repeatedly and they return my calls wh...enever they feel like it. I am very angry at the fact that I have given him 1800.00 and I have gotten nothing back in return. I would not recommend him at all unless you like to be screwed and not even get kissed afterwords.
