Matthew A. Caplan

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!!

Attorney Caplan is like if you had an amazingly supportive and caring older brother, who just so happened to also be a world class attorney. His wisdom of a very complex, confusing, complicated and cut throat legal system is bar none (no pun intended however noted and throughly enjoyed). After years ...of legal abuse at the hands of greedy attorneys and an abusive "co-parent," when I was just on the edge of losing all hope, Attny Caplan took on my case, expediently reviewed a mountain (Everest) of information, and in the MIDDLE of a hearing, executed a monumental turn around with grace, fact, a high level of skill and emotional intelligence. The peace and joy that I am able to regain as a Mother, even before a resolution has been established and litigation continues, just from simply knowing that he is in my son and I's corner, is an experience and a feeling that I could not put a price on. That being said, his fees are extremely reasonable and fair- there is no doubt he is not in this profession to prey on victims of challenging circumstances, conflict or abuse. Which, unfortunately, I have seen firsthand with at least 5 other attorneys and professionals in the area of family law. He does not sugar coat or manipulate his clients emotional states to facilitate and incite further chaos and line his pockets, rather he is a man of integrity and honor; which quite frankly, brings "honor and justice," back into the arena of family law, where I was previously convinced was devoid of such promises. In dealing with the opposing parties extremely high conflict attorney, who strategically manipulated the legal system and even her own client while heartlessly seeking her own financial gain at the expense of a mother-child bond and their wellbeing, Attorney Caplan was the first amongst many so called "award winning top attorneys" who maintained a high level of professionalism, courtesy and composure both in and out of the court room. Whoever raised this man should be given sainthood. Whoever is married to him, has him has a father, brother, friend, associate or attorney, is truly blessed. The world would be a much more peaceful place with more attorneys who practice law and humanity as Mr. Caplan does.
