introduction
In 2007, Brett Appelman established Appelman Law LLC with the mission of safeguarding and advocating for the rights of individuals accused of crimes. Brett firmly believes that every defendant, regardless of the charges they face, deserves the most exceptional legal defense possible.
Brett personally handles a wide array of complex cases at the highest level, including Attempted Murder, Kidnapping, Aggravated Sexual Assault, and individuals charged with multiple DUI offenses. He has consistently achieved successful outcomes for clients facing various criminal charges, such as DUI, Aggravated Battery, Solicitation, Attempted Murder, Armed Robbery, Tax Evasion, and Felony Drug Possession and Delivery.
Originally from Ann Arbor, Michigan, Brett pursued his undergraduate studies at the University of Michigan. He then earned a Master's Degree in Forensic Psychology from the John Jay College of Criminal Justice before attending law school at the University of Wisconsin. Prior to establishing his own firm, Brett gained valuable experience as an Assistant Public Defender in Kane County, Illinois. During his time there, he defended numerous DUI and Driving While Suspended cases, as well as various misdemeanors. Additionally, Brett served as the defense attorney on the board of the Treatment Alternative Court, Kane County's specialized mental health court.
In a remarkable accomplishment in 2016, Brett secured a Not Guilty By Reason Of Insanity verdict in a felony trial, sparing his client from potentially facing decades of imprisonment for aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.
