Excellent Attorney

Mr. Kaplan is excellent at his job. I have and would definitely recommend Mr. Kaplan to anyone who is looking for an excellent attorney. Mr. Kaplan has helped me with auto accidents,slip and falls, and legal advice.

Posted by Michael | February 23, 2015 | Workers Compensation

Lawyer who will take difficult cases when you have already been turned down

I hired him to represent me in a construction accident. I was told by another lawyer that I had no case and he was able to get a substantial recovery thatpaid off the compensation carrier and put money in my pocket.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2008.

Stayed Suspension issued in NJ, 2008

updated on 09/09/2015

Suspension stayed means the attorney has been disciplined, but that the discipline is placed on hold (and ultimately removed) if the attorney complies with certain requirements.

Michael’s comment:

“This disciplinary matter had nothing to do with the handling of clients cases. I had been with a firm that would give bonuses to employees if they referred friends or relatives to the office. This practice was in effect before I came with the firm. This was viewed as giving of a fee to a non-lawyer which was unethical. The discipline was stayed on condition there be no further disciplinary matters for one year, which there was none.”
