This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

A knight in shining armor

If you’re searching for a divorce lawyer who can truly change your life forever then DO NOT look any further. I was in such a difficult situation with little to no hope of ever recovering when I was blessed with finding Steven Kaplan and his team. This man is truly a miracle worker and directs a team... of professionals like an orchestra conductor. He is thorough in every detail and knows how to get things done no matter how great the obstacles are. I can never thank Steven and his team enough for all they have done for me. THANK YOU Steven, Valerie and the rest of the team for giving me my life back.
