Saved me from myself

I wrote to Atty. Kaplan as I was being squeezed by my own attorney in a 4 year case. He told me what to ask my attorney to have it documented so I could prove that he was indeed not representing my best interest. Then through research, I found that my attorney had been represented by the opposing c...ounsel in a legal malpractice suit. He advised me wonderfully to set me up for further action. The best and got to the heart of the matter in a short amount of time.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
