I contacted Heather’s office on a whim after contacting over 6 law offices and got turned down repeatedly after presenting my case. She immediately got to work; explaining every possible scenario of my case and assured me that she would do all she could to help. I was extremely happy to see how personable she was, how quickly she or anyone from her team would get back to me, and how much she kept me in the loop on all ends. I was constantly updated on my cases’s progress and for that I am grateful. She did her best in advocating for me, and we were able to settle my case in less time than expected. 10/10, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
Heather and her staff were reliable and professional. They explained everything to me throughout the case. They were always available to answer any questions I had.

Best Lawyer Ever
Heather Kaplan and her staff did outstanding work with regards to ALL my cases with Worker’s Compensation Board. Not only did she deal with my shoulder surgery and award but she and her staff just completed the closing of (11) outstanding cases with a lump sum. This was all due to the tireless work of Heather, Lisa and her entire staff. This Lawyer actually works and stays in touch with you through the entire process.

She is literally a life changer!!
I am a nurse who was injured on the job, and was initially denied my workers compensation claim by the insurance carrier. I hired Heather Kaplan as my worker’s compensation attorney, who fought tooth and nail for me from the very start, not only getting my claim approved, but representing me and my best interested along the way. She made sure I would be paid while I was out of work from my injury. It was a year long process from the insurance companies process, and in the end from all of Heather’s hard work, she got me a very hefty settlement for my injury as well. I started this all, out of work with an injury, and a denied claim. Heather helped me with all of that and more. I could not thank her enough!

My attorney helped me move on with my life!
When I was at my lowest point and just about to give up, I met Ms. Kaplan and she showed me the path out of my personal and physical despair. She showed me how to work within the system to receive the help and restitution that I would need to move on with my life. Her experienced staff knew how to gather all the pertinent information that was needed to move my case along very quickly and efficiently. Ms. Kaplan was knowledgeable about my options, the timeframe, and all possible solutions that I would need to help me with this very difficult time.

Lawyer Heather Nicollle Kaplan
It is a great pleasure to write this review for Ms. Kaplan. She is very dedicated to her work for her client. It took a long time for me to receive some benefits from workers compensation but when she took my case, she resolved the issues that I had and helped me to get what I was supposed to received. She is a kind of lawyer who always respond to a text or a call from her client... for me she is one of kind. She makes her client feel comfortable and stress free. I will never forget her...excellent she is...
