Appelman Law Firm

Mr. Avery represented me in a felony DUI case, and I couldn't have asked for a better attorney. At first, I was terrified and thought my life was over. From the moment I spoke with him, he put me at ease by clearly explaining the process and what to expect. He helped me get accepted into treatment court and supported me through every step of it. Whenever I reached out, he was always responsive and quick to return my calls. My career is licensed through DHS, and because of his help, treatment court has been seen as part of my recovery and my conviction has not been a barrier. He also helped get my jail time converted into community service. I'm truly grateful to Mr. Avery. Treatment court not only helped me achieve and maintain sobriety, but it also helped me live my life to full potential, something I never imagined when I was caught up in drinking and temporary comfort. Even after my case ended, he continues to offer guidance and support. I highly recommend Mr. Avery. He is an excellent attorney.

I live in Florida, and even from out of state this Minnesota legal team has been incredible. They helped me with multiple ongoing cases, and they've always been reliable and professional. Alexa and Nina have been amazing throughout the entire process supportive, empathetic, and truly dedicated. I felt guided and understood. I highly recommend them for their excellence, professional and outstanding service.

Alexa was my attorney for a street racing case, throughout the process I was never invited to their actual law firm to discuss my case or go over for any other reason throughout the entire process which felt unprofessional, instead we met at a coffee shop. Pieces of evidence were never shared with me after repeatedly requesting (highway footage of the alleged race) It felt she didnt fight as hard as I wanted. When plea deals were brought up that I didn't like/agree too it appeared as she didnt want to fight for better deals or even adjustments to the terms (not saying she didn't, but i didn't ever feel confident that she actually did, as when i requested for better deals/different terms i received lots of push back from her) This made me feel less confident that she genuinely wanted to provide me with the best out come and more that she just wanted the case to be over with. After receiving a second opinion from a different law firm, i quickly realized the deal Alexa was pushing me to take was indeed not the best deal based on the circumstances, I took what I was told by the other attorney and told Alexa I would only accept the deal if the terms met the advice of what the other attorney told me was a reasonable deal, in exchange i got half of what was requested. I truly wanted to take my case to trial but did not have enough faith in Alexa to put that responsibility in her hands based on how I felt about the plea deals alexa was bringing me. If lawyers weren't so expensive I would have hired the second attorney and went to trial. All that said, Alexa did end up getting me close to the deal I had decided I was okay with. I know she is a newer lawyer and knew that when I hired her. I would just recommend anyone considering Appelmen to consider a better firm if you can afford it, but if you cannot afford that, they are definitely an Ok option
