Stay Away

I hired Mr. Kaplan as my third attorney, what a mistake, after 1.5 years he left in such bad situation hard to believe. He is quick to cash your money, lost of barking and talking almost zero results. I should have known when he did not allow me to explain the case during the first consulting. He lik...e to hear himself. Later, my ex fictitiously increased the recoup times from 96 days to 216 !! and he did not say a word! He did not even talk to me about it in advance, having received the list of the "lost" days. The motions were always filled with errors, not only spelling!, his staff is overworked he has no consideration whatsoever!! He was recommended to me by a friend whose daughter and law and sons were his clients, two of us run away lighter of a ton of money and few if at all results, the other one had to learn law in order to keep Mr. Kaplan doing his job. If he gets mentioned just run away!

Thank you for being there for my children and I.

Kenneth Kaplan not just helped me legally but emotionally to get through a very fastidious divorce. Kenneth was pursuant on my behave to get through my very nasty ordeal. Not just on the legal sense, on a personal level I was protected by him whenever I had to encounter the other party. He felt mor...e like a father, protector than an attorney. His wonderful office staff: Evelyn and Virginia where also instrumental in helping me get through this dark moment in my children's and my life. Moreover, I had to require Dr. Kaplan legal advise on a concurrent civil case my ex was involved in, in order to be able to clear my name from any association with parties at fault. Once again Kenneth also came through for me. I call him my sword in the biggest battle of my life.

Dependency

Mr. Kaplan was placed on my case because the state was attempting to terminate my rights as a parent. Mr. Kaplan diligently jumped aboard, filed to receive all pertinent documentation, and to review any and all transcripts and recordings that were possible for him to receive. He is the first lawyer i...n almost four years that took the time to read my entire file as well as review other documentation, I presented tI him, that was not properly placed in my court file. This attorney took the time to speak to other Advocates on my case to get a full picture of the disservice that the system had done to my family. While we are still in the litigation concerning my daughter, I feel extremely confident that the work that Mr. Kaplan has done has significantly changed the dynamic ofor my proceedings and I am seein promising results. This was long overdue, however Mr. Kaplan is perusing a timely closure to this case. If you're looking for an attorney who gets to the nuts in the bolts of the matter, then you have found the right one. He does take the time to listen to my concerns as well as keep me focused on the tasks at hand that benefit me and my family in this case. I would recommend him to anyone going through circumstances that deal with your children. I believe he cares and is compassionate person.

Best Family Law attorney out there!

9/1/2017 was one of the best days of my life! Mr. Kenneth Kaplan did an awesome job on my case.I would recommend him to anyone who needs a family law attorney. He's always there when I had a question, concern or needed reassurance. I was able to call, email or text him and he promptly responded. ...I told him my financial situation and he still worked with me. He cares more about his clients than the money. Evelyn, Nancy & Virginia, his assistants were awesome. I'm extremely satisfied with his professionalism and knowledge to help me get what I wanted for this case.
