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.

Mr. Appelt is the type of an attorney you would want. He is an aggressive, expert attorney and passionate attorney. Divorce is never an easy experience, but his very knowledge and experienced attorney. My case was unique in different ways and he and his staff was always attentive. He is a unique pers...on and I had complete confidence in his abilities. Him and his staff are very dedicated to there clients.

I was recommended to Mr. Appelt by a friend who had previously used his services. Mr. Appelt represented me in a very messy divorce where everything was contested; property, cars; and most importantly custody. Mr. Appelt was very knowledgable and didn't let my ex or his attorney get away with any o...f their games. We ended up having a 2 day trial in which I was very pleased with the outcome. He and his staff kept me informed throughout the process, providing me with copies of documents and returning my calls typically within 24 hours. There were even times I was able to reach them after normal hours. I would highly recommend Mr. Appelt's services.
