Excellent Attorney

Ken Kaplan is effective, assertive, and eloquent. It is imperative to hire a skilled and experienced attorney, especially in difficult family law cases like mine. Ken had dealt with copious and frivolous motions filed by opposing counsel. My abusive ex, despite being discharged from the United States... Coast Guard for rape and abuse charge after serving his prison sentence for his stalking conviction, has been using the family courts system to senselessly and vindictively litigate. Ken has deftly dealt with each motion and helped ease the turmoil of an already difficult divorce situation, always keeping the interest of the minor child in the case at the forefront. Additionally, he has worked to minimize unnecessary costs. Ken’s impeccable ethics, legal acumen, and steadfast resolve to garner the best possible outcomes for his clients make him an ideal choice for legal representation for difficult cases like mine, and less complicated cases alike.

Excellent Service!!!

"I don't write reviews lightly or often. The subject of this review is the professional relationship I have had with my lawyer over the last 5 years. I have been represented by Mr. Kaplan in one case regarding time-sharing and child support of my son. This case started in 2010 and I retained Mr. K...aplan’s services in 2012. As of the date of this review we are still in court in a new iteration of the same case. Over the years, Mr. Kaplan has helped me navigate the extremely confusing legal world and has filed different legal procedures to help me retain Sole parental custody of my child. It gives me a sense of pride to walk into and out of the courtroom next to Mr. Kaplan, as I am confident he has crossed all the T’s and dotted the I’s and no matter what decision the Judge makes, my case will be clearly explained and he will object promptly to the shady tactics used by the other’s party lawyer. I am very thankful to him for always defending me in court and being very resourceful as to the options we have available."

DON'T HESITATTE TO HIRE THIS GREAT LAWYER!!!

One of The Best Attorneys Money can buy. I had a tough situation, I hadn't seen my son in over two weeks because the Mother had filed false allegations against me. Ken got me my son back in one hearing, and I couldn't be happier. When the legal going gets tough, get Ken Kaplan on your side, and... you will fair well.

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.
