It was a pleasure...Highly professional and effective

I am shocked at the negative reviews. Some of them actually appear as if they could have been written by the same person who has an axe to grind. No one is perfect all the time...in my case working with Caroline Kaplan has been nothing but a positive experience. She not only handled my divorce, c...ustody issues; but post-decree matters and litigation as well. Her paralegal was responsive as well. Caroline emailed documents, I had a retainer agreement that was billed against as well as accurate statements. She was available at all hours of the night during emergencies, and even helped my kids through this difficult process. I have nothing but the highest regard for her professionalism, and it appeared as the judges did as well in the way she was treated in kind by them. I would hire her or recommend her to anyone. She handled my divorce, custody 8ssuShe

great service

My personal experience with Caroline was great. She was an awesome lawyer in my divorce case. She will not settle until you're satisfied. She has great knowledge and has been practicing law for many years. She is very feisty and doesn't mind putting up a fight. I would recommend her to anyone that re...ally needs help. You get what you pay for and I believe her time and effort was worth every bit of money that I put in to hiring her. Thanks lady!

Review after divorce proceedings

Although Caroline does not always return calls promptly she worked on my case with diligence, fervor and respect. Her efforts with the other attorney to protect the assets of my children and my personal safety we beyond reproach. Because she is a sole practitioner the process took longer than I'd ho...pe -- but be assured all "i's were dotted and t's crossed." Nothing was left to interpretation. Her para-legal is exemplary and is always available to answer questions, field calls, paperwork etc. when Caroline is unavailable. I highly recommend her.
