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!

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.

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.
