A LAWYER WHO REALLY LISTENS

Attorney Kaplan helped me with a daunting and complicated case that had been dragging on for years. I was emotionally exhausted and overwhelmed at the time I met him but he stepped in and was the proverbial "dog on a bone' in his pursuit of my interests. He was available when I needed to consult with... him, took my phone calls and called back promptly when I left a message—even after business hours, if necessary. His understanding of the law was impressive and his friendly and supportive manner toward me helped me through a legal ordeal that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

Saved us!

Peter Kaplan came to us highly recommended. He along with Ashley Wonson, worked with us to not only modify our loan mortgage, which saved our house, get us out from a mound of dept by helping us choose which chapter of Bankruptcy but, went beyond the call of duty and helped us out of a crazy situat...ion with a mistake made by our mortgage company. We can't say enough about their professionalism. They made us feel comforted when we thought we were doomed. We are happy to say our lives are on tract thanks to all Peter and Ashley's hard work.

Highly Recommended

Peter is the best - there is not another attorney that would take the time or patience that he has taken with me, this includes Ashley, also. They make you feel so comfortable and at ease and are always available day or night. We are not only clients but will be forever our friends. I highly reco...mmend the Law Office of Peter Kaplan he is the best and his staff is extremely helpful and friendly.
