Crook

Worst experience. Greedy for money. Had an agreement for 2000 bucks for my case and ended up paying more than 6500 bucks and case was lost. My ex took injunction against me based on false accusations and I kept on asking him to defend me in court as I had enough evidences to prove myself innocent. In...stated of listening to me, he ended up me accepting indefinite injunction in court. The other party was a free legal aid attorney who did better then him.

A mythical weapon

You've ever seen those attorneys in movies where they are fierce, manage to be equipped with the most formal counters, yet professional and very well respected? Those lines are rehearsed so many times and of course thats just in movies... until I hired Mr. Kaplan... He taught me something very val...uable I thought I already knew until I saw it in action. Although you may be feeling despaired, there is a time of when to make your move. Mr. Kaplan has been doing this for so long, he knows when that time is, what would happen and what he's looking for. Emotions do nothing in this system so save the stress and your energy. You can rest assured with Mr. Kaplan as your guide. I was a novice that walked into a room with character buffs and an over powered weapon. Of course, I didnt know what I had.. but when he tells you to do something, just DO IT. He was right every time. Strong critical thinking skills and he knows how to operate this machine of a system and its components. In gaming language, he is "broken". He is very kind and lovely to talk to! But if you're against him, you'll wish you hadn't underestimated him. With him, the court room is not scary at all.

An angel from above and a life saver

Beaten down, in a messy divorce about to lose potentially full custody of my son due to an equally highly talented lawyer of my ex, financially on the ropes and with no where else to go - I was recommended Kenneth from a friend who she had just been through a messy divorce. Hands shaking, heart racin...g, I finally called his office and he answered immediately. That day changed my life. He said to me to come into his office immediately even though it was the end of the day. He took a 10 minute review of my case, picked out all the errors within moments of the case paperwork on both sides - told me exactly what to do and what not to do, what to say and not what to say and he would handle the rest. He delivered on his promise at a very fair fee and fast forward 3 months the divorce is final and he did exactly what he promised me. He is unorthodox, however that is what you need when you up against the wall of another high profile lawyer. Kenneth thank you for saving my life, for saving me, and getting me what I wanted. Forever indebted in this great man - a true father figure to me. His support group of Andrea and Evelyn that I worked with are equal stars and I am very thankful to them too!

Gets the job done!

Stop looking for other attorneys and hire Kenneth Kaplan today! Mr. Kaplan represented me in my divorce case, child support case, restraining order case and termination of parental rights. He knows the law inside and out. He is knowledgeable and trustworthy. I put my life and my children’s lives in M...r. Kaplan’s hands. With issues of domestic violence and child abuse, Mr. Kaplan won the termination of parental rights case against my abusive ex-husband and my children are safe. Thank you Mr. Kaplan for always taking my calls and listening to my concerns. Thank you for all your advice and most importantly thank you for helping me protect my children. Mr. Kaplan will always be my attorney for anything I need in the future and he should be yours too!

DO NOT HIRE. THE WORST. DO NOT HIRE

If I could rate him a ZERO. I would. He not only failed to stay on the same page with me during court but also made the situation worse than when I got to him. Philanderer. Thief. Should be disbarred. All he cares about is money. He faked heart attacks because he didn’t want to speak to me when I... called him. DONT HIRE.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
