Douglas S. Kaplan

Doug Kaplan agreed to represent me in a Worker's Compensation case. After our first meeting my wife and I felt that we had consulted the right attorney and firm. Doug kept me fully informed of conversations between my employer, their insurance company. He informed me of my rights as the injured party... and what and how to save any and all documents related to the injury claim. Mr. Kaplan kept me fully informed of all e-mails between between himself, the attorney for the insurance company and all matters related to the case. Mr. Kaplan's staff, Traci and Jodi were excellent when answering questions, or solving procedures or issues with the case. Mr. Kaplan and his staff were and are what we needed to guide us through this stressful and confusing time. I will miss the e-mails from Doug, Traci, and Jody. It made me feel relieved and comfortable that they were working with and for us.

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!

It never is an easy decision for an employee to sue his or her employer. Attorney Kaplan carefully listened to and addressed all of my concerns regarding the filing of a workers' compensation claim. Throughout the litigation, he encouraged me to contact him with any questions and was responsive to ...all of my communications. Attorney Kaplan thoughtfully and thoroughly prepared my workers' compensation petition, and I was awarded ALL of the benefits that I was seeking. In addition to being a highly skilled attorney, he is a kind individual who genuinely cares about his clients' wellbeing. Attorney Kaplan recognizes the profound effect that a work injury can have on one's professional and personal lives, and is an effective advocate on behalf of his clients. I recommend both Attorney Kaplan and his staff to any individual seeking experienced representation in a workers' compensation matter.

Doug made navigating the Workers Compensation system less challenging. He was recommended by an attorney client of mine. He focuses on the big picture and ensures his clients are in a better position mentally and physically, which creates the best outcome. Doug always made himself available. Anyone... needing his services would be fortunate to have him represent.

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
