Hired Mr Kaplan to review and advise on my separation agreement
He reviewed the agreement and gave me advise on what action to proceed with. During that time due to his knowledge and advise, I asked him to represent me with the negotiation. He worked with my companies council to review the documents and make adjustments as needed.
Due to his efforts, I was extremely satisfied with the results.
Highly recommend Mr Kaplan and his law practice, going to hire him to review my employment contract with my next role.

I cannot recommend Attorney Brett Kaplan enough. I hired him for a sexual harassment case and from day one, he fought for me tooth and nail. Initially I had reservations because of his youthful appearance. However he proved to be a powerhouse in employment law. Brett is sharp, relentless, and deeply committed to justice. He guided me through every step of the legal process with clarity and confidence, and we ultimately reached a very very favorable settlement. He is not just a skilled attorney he’s a goon in the best possible way: fierce, strategic, and unafraid to go to battle for his clients. If you need someone in your corner, Brett Kaplan is the one. 💯

After being laid off, I was desperately searching for an employment lawyer when I came across Brett Kaplan on TikTok. I was hesitant at first, however, his videos were informative and honest, which is why I decided to reach out—and I’m so glad I did. He was available to help the same day and did an amazing job breaking down my severance agreement in simple terms. He listened to all my concerns, answered my questions, and even handled the negotiations for me, keeping me updated every step of the way. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! If you are looking for an honest, hard working employment lawyer, I highly recommend Brett Kaplan.

I searched for an employment lawyer and found Brett Kaplan. I needed a strong negotiator for my severance agreement and felt like I could trust Brett. Brett was able to negotiate a higher severance for me and I couldn’t have been more satisfied! The process was easy, smooth, and pain free. If I ever need him again, I’ll surely be circling back! Thanks Brett.
