The Best of the Best....

I highly recommend Mr. Kaplan after being represented by him in a long, convoluted, complex and onerous vendor lawsuit and insurance case. His expertise and experience resulted in my household goods being returned to me, avoided trial and reached a satisfying result. I am deeply appreciative of his s...ervice and handling my case.

Settled Lawsuit from Employees

Our company was sued by husband and wife employees that were dismissed from our employ. What originally started out as a sizable litigation case was eventually settled for pennies on the dollar. Dan and his team were aggressive with negotiating a settlement. I would highly recommend Dan and his ...team for lawsuits and litigation.

Contract woes end in my favor.

My contract dispute was navigated with professional finesse by Daniel A. Kaplan. What could have turned into years of scratching for payment and the return of personal property was wrapped up quickly and tied off neatly in a feat of legalese. Crystal clear thinking got us to the heart of of the dispu...te and succinct writing made clear the way out of the mess. He's a samurai. I highly recommend.

I HIGHLY Recommend Dan as your civil attorney!

Dan is an excellent and a very experienced attorney. He knows the law well and pays attention to detail. This is particularly import in a fact intensive case. Dan was co-counsel in a civil litigation where I was the Plaintiff and deposed two of the main defendants. Dan's experience was on display whe...n he deposed two difficult defendants. He understood what it took to obtain the necessary facts, even those facts that were not previously known, to help build the case. This skill only comes with experience. Dan was able to ascertain facts that stacked the "fact deck" in our favor and eventually lead to a favorable settlement. I highly recommend Dan as your attorney!

ADA resolution

Dan helped resolve a ADA matter fairly and expeditiously. He asked the right questions to get a thorough understanding of the situation, and came to a rapid conclusion. I very much appreciate his conscientious attention to balancing risk and reward while also being aware of costs.
