My experience with Ken Kaplan

Very quickly understood the complexity of our issue. Extremely thorough in the examination and strategic process. Found brand new legislation that became a key part of the strategy. Was very patient in his communication and was explicit with the risks we could encounter. Obviously spe...nt more time on our case than he charged us for.

Lawyer of the Highest Merit & Heart

I sought Ken’s legal assistance in relation to an intellectual property agreement with a large company. He helped in my communication with the company, capturing my personal needs while also addressing the legal issues. I have yet to find a more capable and trustworthy lawyer.

Wonderful to work with, Trustworthy, Knowledgeable, Goes Above & Beyond

Very satisfied with my experience working with Mr. Kaplan to get my vital questions answered quickly and expert help I needed for a very serious business litigation issue. Very responsive and easy to deal with.

Amazing Attorney!

Ken is an amazing attorney who knows everything regarding IP Law, I've worked with him several times and he covered everything for me and gave me the results i was expecting. Thank you Ken for everything you've done for me and I'm sure we'll do business again real soon.

Knowledgeable, Insightful, Dependable, and Caring

Mr. Kaplan is a composite of versatility, knowledge, and decorum, which set him apart from other counsel and judicial officers. Legal opinions are always well researched, well supported and tempered with well intentioned and insightful guidance, and always in a caring manner. Ken's command of t...he law (statutory/case authority) and ability to speak with facts have provided the supporting basis to prevail in a host of family law pleadings and appearances. He is impeccable in his efforts, fair in the value of his service, and remarkably responsive.

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.
