Mr. Applebaum’s legal prowess was notably displayed in his first civil rights trial in 1983, which set a precedent for his career.

Mr. Applebaum’s academic background laid the foundation for his successful career. He graduated law school in 1991 and holds a Bachelor of Science in psychology from the University of Minnesota.

In addition to his legal practice, Mr. Applebaum has supported various Jewish organizations financially, demonstrating his commitment to community service and philanthropy.
