Review Michael Kaplan

Michael cares and WILL fight for YOU!

Posted by

I can't speak highly enough about Michael Kaplan and his team. Michael fought for me and had my back the entire time regarding my Work Comp Claim. He is sincere, cares about his clients and spoke to me in a way I could understand regarding "legal land." Communication was always timely and prompt and I felt in the loop and he did a great job explaining what was happening behind the scenes. He helped me navigate through my unique and layered case so I can heal and move on with my life. Thank you Michael!!

Michael Kaplan's response: Yesmeen, It was a pleasure working on your case. We appreciate that you took the time to leave us a review. Thanks so much for choosing Kaplan Morrell. - Michael and the team

Thankful Client

I was referred to Mike Kaplan by a judge who is a former employer of mine, as well as a family friend. Mr. Kaplan has represented me in two separate Workers Comp cases. Mr. Kaplan has a great reputation with the medical community, and two of the physicians that treated me during my recent injury spoke very highly of him. I love Mike and his paralegal Tammy! Unlike most law firms, they make communicating with them easy. They were quick to respond to my calls and e-mails, and made sure to answer any questions or concerns that I had. They both went out of their way to make this overwhelming process as easy as possible for me. I am very happy with the settlement that I received, as it was more than double what another attorney that I had a consultation with had promised me. I wouldn't hesitate to hire Mike again, and I truly appreciate all that his firm did for me!

Michael Kaplan is an exceptional lawyer in the area of worker's compensation. Michael's stellar reputation among opposing counsel and judges is an important factor which separates him from other lawyers in the field and allows him to achieve great results for his clients. If someone in my own family was hurt on the job, I would not hesitate to send him/her to Michael.

Michael is a compassionate, knowledgeable, well-seasoned attorney who always has his clients' best interests in mind, and consistently achieves the best results possible for them.
