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!

Great attorney

After allowing former attorney to negotiate away my life Mr. Kaplan came to the rescue and showed me how to stand up for myself. He is an amazing attorney, representing me better than than any other, both effectively and professionally. He has provided great results in getting me relocated quickl...y. Mr. Kaplan has returned my phone calls and emails in a timely manner always, with regards to any questions and concerns I have had. He is extremely well versed in a very strong professional manner that I feel very comfortable being represented by. Didn't even have to enter a courtroom because he manage to accomplish everything in mediation, as he is an extremely talented attorney, who took my case to heart. I will absolutely recommend his legal services to anyone who needs an attorney.

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.

Couldn't Ask For More

I hired Ken, after researching his record with the domestic relations and appellate courts, to handle an appeal of my divorce case petitioned by my now ex-husband.. After an initial phone conversation, I met with Ken in his office to discuss the case and I retained him that day. Ken immediately g...ot to work on the appeal and contacted me as soon as he learned I had prevailed. For over a year now, Ken has remained my attorney as my ex has continually filed motion after motion and finally another appeal; an appeal we once again prevailed on. Before court, Ken is very good at letting you know the position he will take as well as giving his opinion on how he feels your case should play out. In court, he is very attentive; often catching inaccuracies posed by the other side and pointing them out. In negotiations, he relies on his client but doesn't shy away from giving his opinion. At times when it is warranted, Ken will simply remind you to hold your temper and/or attitude; an issue that creeps up on even the best of us when faced with such emotional and serious financial issues. Not once have I ever had an issue reaching Ken, even on weekends, nor has he ever failed to contact me back when needed. His office staff is small yet proficient, friendly and most importantly, they remember his clients. I could not have asked for a better appellate and overall attorney to handle my case as it continued and I highly recommend him to anyone who is in need of a family attorney.
