Two Happy Clients, Still married after 30 years
June 12, 2012

Just a great lawyer. Takes the time to explain the case. Wiped out all our debt.. We had no idea it would be this easy. We're happy and totally recommend this guy if you need a good lawyer. We consider him our lawyer now. One problem is that he is so busy sometimes it is hard to reach him, but sooner or later he does get back to you. Its worth it because he does such a good job. He gets you back on the right track and we feel he took really good care of us. good guy.

I just want to find some way to thank this lawyer for the way he helped my husband and me in our time of need. We never thought we would be in such a bad situation. We got recommended to Mr. Koplen. Honestly I had never heard of him before. He was wonderful. He understood what we were going through and then he took care of our needs. Sometimes he was a little slow on returning phone calls because he is very busy obviously, but I have to say he took care of our problem like a true professional. What can I say. Very efficient. Very strong. He gave us a lot of confidence and I can honestly say that he took a very difficult and painful legal situation and really took care of it completely. We feel so much better today than we did just a few months ago. We have a fresh start and the weight of the world is off our shoulders. I though my husband was going to have a heart attack but now he is back to his old self playing golf and laughing. Thank you to Mr. Koplen and his wonderful staff. Yes I DO recommend this lawyer and his company.

Mr. Koplen was a great help to us at at time of financial distress. Our business had failed and we had personally guaranteed a lot of debt, and we were being sued left and right. Very stressful! We were recommended to Mr. Koplen by our family attorney. He said Koplen is the best in the bankruptcy lawyer business. So we met with Koplen, and he put us immediately to ease. He then guided us through the bankruptcy process, which was actually painless and the final result was the judge reduced all our debts to zero! All throughout the process Mr. Koplen was available to answer questions and calm our nerves. I think Mr. Koplen deserves his reputation as a great lawyer.

Thank you a million times! He guided me and made such a stressful time become a little more manageable. His professionalism, knowledge and experience are above all. Mr. Koplen will fight for your rights and your money as he did with me. He's the real deal. After what he did for my case he is deserving of more then 5 starts!

Mr. Koplen is the type of lawyer that belongs on Wall Street, not in Rockland County. He deserves his great reputation. He is a take charge type who knows exactly what he is doing. He took over our case from another attorney who shall go unnamed here but he really saved us from a very bad situation and for that we are grateful to him. As far as his personality goes he can be gruff at times and he doesn't try to sweeten things up or make ridiculous promises like our first attorney. He just does a good job and he does it cleanly and obviously knows what he is doing. Highly recommended.

Mr. Koplen is a really good lawyer and really helped us overcome serious financial problems which we had practically given up on. We really did not want to file bankruptcy but we didn't have a choice. I interviewed three different lawyers and we went with Mr. Koplen because he seemed so professional and we are glad we did. I had no idea that life could be so much better after the bankruptcy which was really pretty painless. Kudos to Koplen!

Mr. Koplen is a very Helpful and Informative Lawyer. Mr. Koplen helped out out of a big mess and he made it look almost easy. Very pleased to recommend this attorney. The only negative is that he is so busy that sometimes we had to wait to get an appointment, but at all times we felt our case was being handled with full attention from his office so it really wasn't a problem but just inconvenient. We could have met with his associates but we wanted only Mr. Koplen so it was a little hard sometimes to get the appointment. Overall we were very pleased with Mr. Koplen's legal work. We were very surprised that we had to go to White Plains for the court when there is a court right across the street from Mr. Koplen's office.

Very professional is what comes to mind. Did a GREAT job for us. Everything went so smooth! Very responsive with nice offices and an excellent staff that seemed really dedicated to us when we needed them. I have worked with several lawyers over the past years and Koplen was the best, head and shoulders above others. Big office in New City a nice change from the hole in the wall lawyers we usually found in Rockland. The office is more like a big city or Wall Street operation than a little one man show. They gave us a lot of relief and made it look easy and that is why I am happy to leave this review and recommend Mr. Koplen.
