This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Alone in lake county

I have no family in the area, moved to this area with my husband. Then suddenly going through a divorce. I was in a very difficult situation, among other emotions. Mr. Kaplan was a God send. He communicated well with me, helped me understand everything that was going on. His quality of service and h...is staff were absolutely wonderful. Very responsive, and the value of service for the money was exceptional. At one of the most difficult times in my life and my children he was a wonderful and very professional attorney. I more than recommend him. I was a basket case and he guided me through.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
