Great Service!

I was in a difficult litigation for over two years. Jim and his staff worked very hard and with enthusiasm to try to get justice for my daughter and I. Jim's superior knowledge of tax gave my case a great advantage. He is an excellent lawyer and a person of integrity.

Does not represent his client - does what suits him

Hired Kaplan through the Bar Assn. Have told the Bar that how he mishandled my matter, and now am in small claims court to get my money returned. He has counter sued me….and his daughter seems to do most of the work, and she is not a lawyer.
