Douglas S. Kaplan

Doug was recommended by another lawyer. I consulted with him and hired him. He worked with my wife and I. He kept us in the loop at every point of the case. I could call him with any questions I had. I had his personal cell phone number. His email communication was great I got to see everything he wa...s getting and communicating with the other lawyers. When a law question came up he brought in an expert lawyer to work with us. We ended up settling the case at mediation. We had no pressure to settle he was ready for a trial. He told us that over and over again. I would recommend him to anyone with a workers comp case!

My name is Paula. In 2005 I was injured at work when the wheel on an upright piano fell off and the piano fell on me. No one would take my case because it involved a school district. I finally came across Doug Kaplan. Mr. Kaplan reviewed my case and said he would help me. While he represented me ...I had to have several back surgeries and went through countless physical therapy sessions along with pain management. Doug Kaplan has always been there for me. He fought for me when Workman's Compensation tried to take advantage of me and were not being honest. I asked Doug why he chose Workmans Compensation cases. I pointed out that he could make more money representing Other people. I told him I was very blessed to have him as my lawyer and he was there when no one else would take my case. In a world that revolves around money, Doug is more interested in helping people. His answer to why he chose WC cases was that, "when good people are getting beat up he wants to punch the bad guys in the nose". Doug was my lawyer from 2005 to 2017. I can't thank him enough for all he's done for me. He's very professional, honest and wants the best for his clients.

My case at the present time is still on going so I can only speak about what attorney Kaplan has done for me to date. After meeting with Mr. Kaplan and his associate for the first time I knew that he was the lawyer for me. I have been in business for myself for over 25 years and have dealt with many ...Attorney's and he is by far the most articulate well-spoken and polite man I have come across. The staff is very well trained and friendly, they take the time to listen and take appropriate action. Attorney Kaplan is extremely knowledgeable about workers comp laws and tells you exactly how it is. I have run into a few issues with the insurance company and Doug and his staff had each problem resolved within 48 hours. I have put my trust and my future in his hands and believe that no other attorney could do better than him. Many thanks to Attorney Kaplan and his staff for all that you have done for my case to date. If my final outcome is as good as what he has done so far i am in good hands.

In the fall of 2011 I got hurt at work while attending a safety training course out of state. My employer placed me out of work until I was 100 % capable of physically performing my job responsibilities. However, this put an incredible financial burden on my family, not to mention the emotional stres...s and depression that followed. Even though most of the medical bills were being paid, the reality was that I was not getting the medical treatment needed to facilitate my recovery. I didn’t know where to turn until a family member recommended talking to someone well versed in the legal ramifications of getting hurt on the job. I called Doug Kaplan's office for advice, which facilitated a meeting in which I gave Doug the facts of how I got injured and in turn he gave me my options. I would highly recommend Doug Kaplan and the associates of Kaplan and Grant to anyone having questions as to how a work related injury affects them. You will receive legal representation from an experienced and compassionate team of professionals. Thank you Doug, and all those that worked so diligently on my case. God Bless. Mike
