Smart/Strategic/Amazing

Austin is amazing! He has helped me navigate many steps in my professional career. His assistance in redlining severance/employment agreements and his insight/guidance as I negotiate with my employers has been instrumental in ensuring I am professionally protected, appropriately compensated, and alig...ned future career growth. He is incredibly smart and strategic, impeccably organized, and fully knowledgeable of Texas law. Also, his team is a delight to work with (prompt, friendly, attentive, thorough). If you have a legal matter, I highly recommend Austin Kaplan and his team at Kaplan Law Firm.

Professional & Personable and all around BAD ASS!

If you have a tough unpaid overtime case like I did, I recommend hiring Kaplan Law Firm. Austin worked closely with me throughout my case to make sure I knew what to expect, and to make sure we were both fully prepared. I was especially impressed with the level to detail he showed and the research ...he put into my case and because of him I learned a few things during the time we worked together. Which I will be forever grateful for because knowledge can be very powerful when executed at the appropriate time. He is also very good with his execution of knowledge at the appropriate times to ensure his clients come out on top! Austin ALWAYS made sure I was in the driver's seat which was wonderful for me because of my type A personality I can possess at times. He was always professional and dedicated to my case and so very patient, which I appreciated! We set goals together at the beginning of the case, and by the end, he made sure each of them were met every time! If you need a lawyer for a tough case, I recommend Kaplan Law Firm.
