Matthew Kaplan did a very good job of handling my case. He was very organized and kept me informed at all times. He was also very prompt at answering any questions I had throughout the time I worked with him. I would definitely recommend him.

Mr.Kaplan represented me, after I was a pedestrian struck by a motor vehicle this past year. I didn't have to worry about any issues involving the incident...including insurance carrier etc.just the healing process! A very professional compassionate Firm. I would not hesitate to have him represent me again!

I was injured in a medical facility. I looked for local attorneys, no-one would take the case since it was not a "sure thing" since I have had previouse injurys. I found Mr. Kaplan's website, I emailded him the statement of what happened, he contacted me right away. Mr. Kaplan in my opion is a honest lawyer, one you don't find too often, a knowledgeable and careing person. Thank you Matthew for helping me when I felt there was no help. Jeannetta

I had the pleasure of having Matt Kaplan represent me in a motorcycle accident case in 2005. I decided to let him handle my case as he was highly recommended and worked diligently towards the best possible outcome. A couple of years later I was in a similar situation and again retained his services. I've since recommended him to friends and would contact him again without hesitation should the need arise.

Matt Kaplan worked very hard on my case. He was realistic in his expectations of my claims value and didn't let anyone walk over me. He was patient with me and stood firm ground with the defendents. I would not hesitate to recomend him or call him again if the need arrives.
