You need his advice before making decisions on severance agreements
Brett took the time to hear about my situation and answer my questions from a legal perspective. I chose to move forward with his services and I don't regret it.

Brett Daniel Kaplan's Lawyer Endorsements
"I was opposing counsel on a case with Mr. Kaplan. In the middle of the case, Kaplan left the firm he was at to start his own firm, and the client stayed with him, which I believe is a testament to the trust that his client had in him. I was impressed with the dedication that Mr. Kaplan had to his client; he would promptly respond to emails, even if late at night, and he was a zealous advocate for his client. As a fellow young attorney, I respect Mr. Kaplan's tenacity. I would recommend Mr. Kaplan to any individual who has an employment-related claim against their employer."
