Review Alexis Kaplan

Recommend

Posted by

I consulted with Alexis B. Kaplan for information and help regarding writing a will. I received a great deal of good advice and information. I had a will written in a timely fashion and we discussed the details and intricacies. I would highly recommend her for consultation and further help.

A lawyer I would look forward to using again

Posted by

Alexis was professional, knowledgeable, honest and made the whole experience, which I was dreading, very manageable. She let me know what to expect, how to conduct myself in the court room where I had never been before, and when a few gliches came up she handled them with complete confidence. Very down to earth and thorough. I would be happy to work with her again.

Satisfied client

Attorney Kaplan was able to resolve what was believed to be a complicated title issue fairly quickly and efficiently. She answered any questions that we had so we had a better understanding of the process and updated us on the status of the resolution.
