Matthew A. Caplan

I have been working with Matthew for two years. Matthew's convictions are clear and he will be brutally honest with you. In Matthews LinkedIn profile he describes himself as "Aggressive and knowledgeable". I would agree with that. Not only in the court room but with the client as well. I was afraid ...to communicate with Matthew. I cried after every conversation. Matthew has zero bedside manner. Matthew will break you down to build you up. I do not agree with this tactic at all. However, anxiety driven Matthews representation was I had confidence in him. He always showed up for me and represented me well. Until now. Recently Matthew has resigned from his firm. For reasons unbeknownst. While I am being represented well by his associates, I do feel abandoned in my darkest hour. I invested in Matthew not just financially. I am saddened to report that he has not reached out to me or offered any guidance or support moving forward. I suspect that Matthew is distracted and may have never been the best person for the job. Please look for representation that sincerely cares and won't abandon you one week before mediation. Matthew has raised his rates multiple times over the last two years just to quit on me when the going gets tough. His reasonings likely have nothing to do with my case but a testament to his character. He should retire and move on with his life despite his skills and abilities.

Matt is an excellent divorce attorney. I interviewed 4 attorneys before signing with Matt and I'm so glad I did. Matt is experienced, diligent, supportive and patient and in the end his negotiation/mediation skills were amazing. He was also very experienced in front of the judges. No matter what ...my case threw at him (and it was A LOT) He got it done every single time, no matter what was needed he made sure that I was protected and accomplished everything in a timely manner.....and there were times it wasn't easy. When he says "I represent YOU" he means it. Matt has an outstanding office staff, very professional and competent. I am not necessary a proponent of divorce but if you need one and you are a female....Matt is who you want, trust me on that.

Matthew Caplan represented me. The divorce settlement was good, but there were flaws in putting the extended PPO in the LEIN system when he represented me after 2 years. I emailed him and his assistants multiple times and he did not respond. This forced me to hire a process server to serve the res...pondent at my cost. I spent over $80,000 for my divorce payable to DAWN and the LEAST he could do was rectify the PPO situation when he was my acting attorney. My life and well-being were in jeopardy and he chose to ignore my pleas. If you are looking to spend a lot of money on a divorce and someone to NOT follow through, this is your man.

Finally, one year later, my high conflict case is over. I am so thankful to have found Matthew. He has an extreme amount of knowledge on all the laws, but most importantly, is is very empathetic and truly cares about what is most important-- the best interest of the child. He protected my child as if... he knew her and it was always clear that he truly cared and would do what was best to protect her. His communications are very timely and professional. I love how I am able to keep all of his communications and letters for my records. He holds the bar high forcing the opposing side to either match the high standard or have their true motives and character be exposed. Should I have to respond to any motions in the future, I pray he is still available, as I doubt I could find another Attorney who could represent me with the greatness that he has.

Hired David Caplan for my divorce during CANCER and when the JUDGE embarrassed him and myself in front of the court and my ex-husband, I switched to his son, Matthew Caplan who I thought might have more of a modern day grip on things but no… Every professional I show my court documents to tell me I h...ad a HORRIBLE lawyer and he let the other side walk ALL over me. Do NOT hire these people what ever you do. It will be your demise for years and years to come!!
