I was charged with wire and mail fraud in New York. I had hired one of the most well known attorneys who seemed never to be available to speak to or tell me what was going on in my case. I was referred to Stuart from one of his former clients who described him as being able to walk on water. From the... first time I met Stuart in my office I knew he was the right attorney for my legal defense. He spent more time going over my case during the first meeting with him than my previous attorney did in a year and a half. Stuart's attention to investigative detail and his tenacious attitude is what ultimately gave me a second chance in life. There are really no words to express my gratitude. If you happen to read this note and need the best of the best criminal defense attorney, Stuart is the real deal. Pasquale c.

Outstanding

My daughter was seriously injured while riding her bicycle as a result of a driver texting and driving. Immediately upon contacting Mr. Kaplan his law firm eased our burden of dealing with the insurance companies allowing us to focus on our daughter's medical treatment. Mr. Kaplan and his office's at...tention and compassion for us and our daughter was truly heartfelt.

Motorcycle Accident

I was referred to Kaplan & Sconzo following my motorcycle accident in Boca. The insurance company for the driver who hit me first denied liability. I was making a right turn off Glades Road on to Saint Andrews Boulevard when a driver who was speeding and on her cell phone rear-ended my motorcycle. ...Stuart Kaplan immediately hired an accident reconstructionist who was able to prove that the drivers story was inconsistent with the evidence. Within 2 months of hiring Mr. Kaplan the insurance company accepted liability and paid out the full insurance coverage. While I still struggle everyday with my injuries, I can't thank Mr. Kaplan and his office for everything they did for me!

Car Accident

I read the last review for Mr. Kaplan and couldn't agree more with what that person said. I had been involved in an accident involving a head on collision with a person who suffered from diabetes. The insurance company for this person denied coverage stating it was a sudden medical emergency. I retai...ned one of those law firms that advertise on the Internet and after a year of never meeting my attorney and becoming more frustrated I fired him and was referred to Mr.Kaplan. Immediately Mr. Kaplan filed suit against the driver who caused the accident. After depositions of the driver and his doctor Mr. Kaplan was able to prove the driver hadn't been compliant with taking his medicines long before he was involved in my accident. I got a call from Stuart a week after the doctor's deposition that the fault drivers insurance company was tendering the full amount under the insurance policy. I completely echo the prior review of Mr.Kaplan he is the real deal!

DUI

My daughter was arrested for DUI on 95 coming home for spring break. I called a police officer friend who referred me to Stuart Kaplan. Having never been in this position I was frantic for what would happen to my daughter. I first spoke with Mr. Kaplan on a Friday afternoon and he and his partner me...t with my husband andI and daughter on that following Saturday. I can vividly remember leaving their office and telling my husband how I felt so much better as if the weight of the world had been lifted off our shoulders. Last week my daughter's case was dismissed after a hearing finding that the police officers failure to utilize his dashboard video recorder was too prejudicial resulting in the judge dismissing all charges. For anyone or family member who finds themselves in a hopeless situation, take my word these guys are the real deal. There sensitivity to our inexperience and ability to comfort us when we needed some hope will never be forgotten. Thank you Mr. Kaplan and Mr. Sconzo. The Lawrence Family
