About Paul

Attorney Applebaum has been representing people in Massachusetts who have had the misfortune of suffering injuries, both on and off the job. His office is located in Salem, Massachusetts, where he has practiced since 1986. Before relocating to the north shore, his office was located in Boston.

His practice concentrates only in injury work. He has had the pleasure of representing thousands of people from all walks of life, and in all different situations. New clients are usually referred by prior clients, friends and family, attorneys whose practices do not include workers' compensation or personal injury work, and now, through the internet.

Attorney Applebaum is a 1972 graduate of Suffolk University Law School, Boston, Massachusetts. His training in advocacy began in his third year of law school when he participated in the student defender program, representing indigents in the Cambridge District Court. Upon graduating, he took a position with the Boston Legal Assistance Project representing low-income clients with housing problems.

He opened his private practice in Boston in 1976 and became associated with a group of attorneys with different legal concentrations. He quickly became acutely aware of the need for attorneys to represent the injured, as many of his clients requested injury representation. So began his workers' compensation/personal injury practice. Attorney Applebaum has been representing the injured ever since.
