Posted by C Edward | July 19, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

all about the money

I hired Mr. Kaplan after a recommendation from another attorney. in summary Mr. Kaplan wrote a few emails, Letters, and a couple of phone calls later 4000+ dollars taken from retainer. He was forceful in recommending a lawsuit at a very high price 50k, or 40% on contingency but when I said I wanted t...o give the other party some time to live up to his fiduciary duty he asked if I agreed to him quitting. not a nice guy and hard to get a response from. All about the money imo! take the money and run imo. Would not provide copies of his documents instead provided a flash drive. filed a bar complaint.

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.
