Douglas Shaun Kepanis

Mr. Kepanis represented my son in a highly acrimonious divorce that was unduly prolonged by the fact that his now ex-spouse had a free ride because she had duped well intentioned friends to fund all her legal expenses. During discovery it was learned that the ex had disposed of joint assets in a fore...ign country hidden from my son, as well as dissipated substantial joint assets using nefarious means. The ex blatantly disregarded compliance with discovery in most part and filed several motions in bad faith since she was not paying for the work being done. This was not a vanilla divorce proceeding. Mr. Kepanis representation was exemplary. I found him to not only be well versed in the law but very tenacious in his pursuit of righting the wrongs perpetrated on my son. His judgment is impeccable as he combines a practical approach to problem solving, recognizing that the costs involved must be considered before blindly pursuing a course of action. I am a retired attorney and dealt extensively with Mr. Kepanis throughout my son's divorce proceedings. I was most impressed with his dealing with his client. Mr. Kepanis walked the tight rope of friendship with his client, while not letting his friendship affect his professionalism. Unlike some other attorneys, while he was confident in his abilities, he did not display any egotism in responding to questions and strategies suggested. He was not afraid to reply “I don’t know but let me research it” when he was not certain of an answer – an admirable trait not commonly found. While total fees were substantial, I felt that they were fair. I could not give Mr. Kepanis any higher marks. Whether you are seeking representation in a basic divorce action or family matter or in a complicated matter involving multiple state jurisdictions or international jurisdictions, Mr. Kepanis will represent you well, based upon my dealings with him.

I met and spoke with 8 different attys before i chose Douglas to represent me in my divorce. Its a tough period in your life. Quite scary. If the divorce is between two mature sane individuals ,its a breeze, as it should be ,, but as in my case, you can be sweet, sane and willing to be mature and ev...en generous and be willing to be accomidating about the process,, and you can still be torched and ruined by the other person... Sadly,,,Greed ,Dishonesty, and the strong desire to wreck havoc and ruin the other person sometimes takes center stage,, My ex wife tried everything she could to destroy me , to the point that she was outwardly lying and fabricating stories to the authorities . I was scared to death, I KNEW i needed serious , smart, experienced representation..I needed an atty that actually gave a damn about me, someone i could confide in, someone that i could trust to help guide me thru the legal minefield that my ex laid out for me, Some of the attys i spoke to were weak, you could just tell they were not going to fight hard on your behalf, ( This was a common story i heard ,when speaking with other guys about their attys ) They were simply going to process you according to the law,, others were slick snake oil salesman type, fancy and polished, but you just knew that as soon as you signed up with them, you would never see the head of the firm again, and your case would be handled by one of the young college grads on the staff..thats something you definatley DONT want. During the entire process of my case i dealt only with him on a personal level, no underlings or interns, he gives you the personal one on one service that you want in a high profile atty,, I did my homework , studied many sites with reviews of many lawyers, ,,Douglas has a good reputation, and when we met i knew i had a big time winner , if i had to go to war to defend myself, this man was the one i felt would do the job and do it right,,, my ex went thru 3 different attys. But i stood steadfast with Doug and he did a fantastic job,, at the end of the process my ex even told me in the hallway of the courtroom " Hes good that lawyer of yours" to which i replied " "Hes one of the best" You can go with one the local cheap attys in the yellow pages, but im telling you honestly, if your going thru a tough case and your spouse is out to ruin you, i suggest you speak to this man, hes the real deal, not only did i have a great atty who helped me achieve everything i was hoping for as this all began,,but i consider him a friend in the aftermath of it . I highly recommend Douglas Kepanis and thats about as honest a review as i can give,

The Kepanis Law Firm treated me with respect. My first attorney that I had hired for my case would treat me like a child, like I had no power to make any decisions in my case. Doug Kepanis spoke with me when I needed, and the flat fee retainer really helped me know my total cost ahead of time. I w...as even given my attorney's cell phone number so that I could reach him after hours and on weekends - no question was ever too small.
