Does Not Follow Through

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.

Matt Caplan

My marriage was contentious, abusive, and irreconcilable. I needed a way out and wondered how I would be able to support myself and my kids on a low-income teacher's salary. I was recommended to DAWN by a friend, and Matthew Caplan guided me through an ugly, bitter divorce, helped me put a personal... protection order in place, and in the end, I was able to maintain my retirement fund, home, and most importantly, my dignity. I couldn't have done it without this firm supporting me through the divorce I dreaded but knew I needed, in order to become the strong, independent woman I know that I am. Thank you!

Divorce nightmare

Going through a divorce after a 27 year domestic violent relationship is one of the toughest things I've had to do in my entire life. Having Matt Caplan as my attorney is the best choice I've made. He has fought for my kids and I and is still fighting for us post divorce as it is a high conflict ca...se. Matt knows the law and the first thing I noticed about Matt was his ability to speak with conviction truth and confidence in court and trial situations. He is a good person to have on your team and will do all he can to get the most fair results that you and your children deserve. Thank you Matt for your representation and help that I really needed because I could never have done this on my own.

On your side....

My experience with DAWN Lawn Firm was fantastic!! Anyone that needs an attorney who will fight for women's rights against their ex-husbands, needs to hire this firm, specifically Matt Caplan. I was recommended to Matt, two and a half years from other co-workers who used his services. While worki...ng with Matt over the course of 5 months it took to finalize my divorce, he was extremely professional, respectful, kind, and was very attentive to my individual case needs as it was a domestic violence case with a child involved. He was very patient and set a precedence that he was on my side and would do everything he could to assist me through the process. He responded to my emails within a reasonable period of time and/or sent a response email if he was in court for the day, etc. I have recommended him to a number of my family and friends who were very satisfied and thankful for my recommendation. If you need an attorney who will fight for you and those in your life that don't a voice, like your children, please call him. You won't regret your decision.
