Kirk D Kaplan

We were referred by a magician friend in the local Las Vegas magic community for a CPA to assist in correcting previously prepared income tax returns for me and my husband and for my husband’s business. My husband and I are entertainers and needed a CPA who understands tax preparation for entertainer...s. My friend referred me to Kirk because he is an attorney and CPA. He also told me Kirk is also a magician.  When we visited with Kirk, we found him to be personable, listened to our concerns, and was quickly able to understand how to correct our tax returns. Paul, one of Kirk’s accounting staff, worked closely and was responsive to us in collecting and organizing our information. Once we provided all the requested information, our amended returns were quickly prepared. We also like how Kirk was able to explain to us the structure of my husband’s business and how it affects our estate plan. I would recommend Kirk because he thinks as a CPA and attorney at the same time. And, also because he is a magician and is a part of the magic community.

When a close friend passed away in another state from where I reside, I was tasked with being executor of his will in Las Vegas. As I did not know lawyers in Vegas, I was fortunate to be guided to Kirk Kaplan thru a friend that knew and suggested him . After a phone conversation with Kirk, I felt... comfortable and confident he was the lawyer to guide me thru what turned out to be a challenging legal journey. Meeting Nevada State laws and working thru courts with current covid shutdown, all were expertly handled by Kirk and his team. He explained everything along the way, putting me at ease, as he guided me thru the complicated court process and paper work, . I am thankful to Kirk and his team to have resolved my legal needs with such class and style and relieve a tremendous amount of my stress along the way. I can and do highly recommend him!

With the sudden and unexpected death of a friend, we found ourselves in the position of having to settle the deceased's estate and execute his will. Since this was a new experience for us, we were at a bit of a loss as what to do next. Fortunately, a 'friend of a friend' knew someone who was both ...a Nevada based attorney and a skilled probate specialist! We met with Kirk and found him to be well informed and ready to assist. Sometimes you hire an attorney, and after the initial meeting, you feel like 'just another client / case'... well this was NOT like that with Kirk Kaplan! Throughout the rather lengthy process: (Full Probate, selling a house, accounting , settling tax issues, etc;) Kirk and his team were always available by both phone and for in person meetings. He kept us well informed as to what would happen next. Even with fees and expenses, there were no hidden surprises. Kirk always evaluated the costs and benefits of every choice we made and advised us completely. Documents and court filings were made available to us and explained in layman's terms for our easy understanding. In short, Kirk Kaplan has my highest recommendation! '

We had to open an ancillary probate in Nevada to sell some property out of state. Crest, and Kirk Kaplan specifically, came recommended to me from our real estate agent. In the midst of going through the courts, the COVID-19 crisis hit. However, it felt as if Kirk and his team, especially Carla, neve...r skipped a beat. They worked to get paperwork signed, notarized, and filed with the county court quickly and efficiently, even in the middle of a global pandemic. Carla responded quickly and always had answers to my questions. The distance (and the quarantine) did not slow them down. I am grateful for Kirk and Carla's service to my family, for their expertise and advice, and for their care.

My sister and I were in need of a Probate lawyer for our sibling who passed away in Las Vegas. We were both from out of state and had to select an attorney from afar. After calling and interviewing a number of attorneys in Las Vegas Kirk stood head and shoulders above the rest in his knowledge o...f the Probate process, and his interest in informing potential clients about the process. Kirk and his staff were extremely timely, and clear throughout the entire process about what they were doing and about what the client needed to do. Correspondence with Kirk's staff was also very seamless when the process required exchanging information and documents. Kirk managed to take a process that could have added significant extra stress into one that went very smoothly and removed one thing from our plate at a very painful time! Kirk and his staff exceeded our expectations in every way! You cannot go wrong with Kirk and his staff if you need a Probate attorney.
