Austin is my hero !

Thank you very much your help, Austin Kaplan. Through the hard and relentless work from you and your team, we were able to come to a very favorable resolution with the opposing counsel and party. I highly recommend Austin Kaplan and his team. Unfortunately prior to engaging Austin Kaplan, I had hi...red a previous attorney from a separate firm. The other attorney was unreliable, did not return messages weeks at a time, was unethical, and was not helpful. The other attorney disappeared after I paid him a big retainer. However when I hired Austin Kaplan, he was a godsend compared to the previous attorney. He took over the case and got us on track immediately with the case. Austin is smart, prompt, very wise, extremely nice, gives good reasonable counsel, and he bills very ethically (unlike my previous lawyer). Thank you again for all your help, Austin. I consider him a great attorney and a friend now. It makes all the difference in the world which attorney and firm that you pick. Go with Austin Kaplan and his team. I will recommend him to all my friends and family. I would use him again in a heartbeat. He is worth every penny and more.

Great experience despite a horrible situation

Austin Kaplan was amazing to work with. He really listened to my situation, explained everything clearly, and gave me practical advice that made me feel confident moving forward. You can tell he knows his stuff and truly cares about helping people. The entire staff at Kaplan is incredible too. If... you need an employment attorney, I highly recommend reaching out to this firm!

Excellent Team!

Thanks for the support, professionalism, and wonderful advice you gave me throughout this difficult time. You are such an amazing lawyer! Without all your help and incredible legal advice, I would undoubtedly have been in a much more precarious situation. Thank you so much for your support and hard w...ork!

The Best!

It was an absolute pleasure working with Austin Kaplan and his staff. They are very personable, easily available for questions and procedures, incredibly knowledgeable, and they made a terrible employment experience easy to deal with. I cannot say enough great things about the Kaplan Law Firm.
