You Can't Go Wrong

I strongly recommend Michael Kaplan of Kaplan Morrell, for any workers compensation issue. The company I was involved with put forward an incredibly low settlement offer, and Mr. Kaplan, recognizing this, went to work to get a fair settlement. The settlement he negotiated was 4 times more than their ...original offer, and I couldn’t be more pleased. He and his assistant, Tammy, are client focused and provide superb service. John W.

Hi John, Thanks so much for the really nice review! We love hearing from our clients. It was a pleasure working with you on your case. I will be sure to let the team know you left such a positive review.

Michael Kaplan is Awesome!!!

I was referred to Michael Kaplan for an injury I sustained at work back in March. From the first phone call I had with Tammy, Michael's Senior Paralegal, I felt as though all my needs and concerns regarding my injury were of the upmost importance. Both Michael and Tammy operated very professionally a...nd with the highest integrity, with concerns for not only my physical injury, but also my mental well being. They kept me well informed each step of the way, making sure I understood everything that would be happening throughout my case. Michael was able to settle my case in what I felt was a very short amount of time, so I could move on with my life. I highly recommend Michael Kaplan for any Worker's Comp claim you may face!

Fierce Advocates

I tried to work my way through the work comp system for several years. After receiving a "you are not our problem anymore" letter and a small check, I contacted Mr. Kaplan. He assured me that I was, in fact, getting taken advantage of and agreed to take on my case. Mr. Kaplan and Tammy are very knowl...edgeable, kind, and thorough. They are fierce advocates for their clients. They negotiated a settlement much higher that the original offering and I couldn't be happier.

Excellent Attorney

Britton handled my Workers Compensation case with professionalism and great knowledge. He defended and protected my rights every step of the way. Britton was able to negotiate for much more than I thought possible. I highly recommend Britton and his firm.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Britton is, simply put, one of the few lawyers I would trust with my own claim if I suffered a Workers' Compensation injury. The usual compliments are accurate, but not nearly sufficient to describe what Britton does in his calling as an attorney for injured workers. If you have been injured and are lucky enough to have Britton accept your case, you'll be taken care of to the fullest extent."

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.
