Brett is an amazing attorney. He is thorough, detail oriented, knows my case inside out. He is always reachable. I interviewed a few attorneys and even hired one prior to meeting Brett. His knowledge and the interest he demonstrated to me was unlike no other attorney. He is extremely smart. I am beyond happy with his services.

I was opposing counsel on a case with Mr. Kaplan. In the middle of the case, Kaplan left the firm he was at to start his own firm, and the client stayed with him, which I believe is a testament to the trust that his client had in him. I was impressed with the dedication that Mr. Kaplan had to his client; he would promptly respond to emails, even if late at night, and he was a zealous advocate for his client. As a fellow young attorney, I respect Mr. Kaplan’s tenacity. I would recommend Mr. Kaplan to any individual who has an employment-related claim against their employer.

Mr. Kaplan is an extraordinary discrimination attorney. He has been working on my case for almost a year, and he is very attentive, cares about his clients, and always answers your calls. He treats clients like family and is a very humble attorney. Mr. Kaplan is always there supporting and protecting his clients. If you need any legal advice for employment discrimination or sexual harassment, contact Attorney Kaplan — he is always available. Amazing attorney.

Look no further — Brett Kaplan is not only a voice to be reckoned with but a person who has a huge heart. He is one of the most compassionate and empathetic individuals I ever met. He is the voice for the people. He will tell your story and fight for justice like no other. When I first met Mr. Brett Kaplan I was a mess physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I was working for a major corporation where I was being abused emotionally on a day-to-day basis. I was discriminated and retaliated against. All my rights as a human being were being taken from me. It was not until I met Mr. Kaplan — I had a voice.

If you’re looking for an attorney who truly fights for his clients, I can’t recommend Brett Kaplan highly enough. From the very beginning, he was knowledgeable, professional, responsive, and genuinely had my best interests in mind. I originally received a severance offer that I thought was final, but Brett carefully reviewed everything, negotiated on my behalf, and secured me four times the amount of my original settlement. His expertise, confidence, and strategic approach made a tremendous difference and completely exceeded my expectations.

Mr. Kaplan skillfully negotiated a more favorable severance agreement with my former company. What truly set him apart was his unwavering dedication, even during a tight deadline that extended into a long weekend. Every concern of mine was not only heard but meticulously addressed in the final separation agreement. In times of uncertainty, having an advocate like him by your side is invaluable.

Brett was amazing to work with! I was looking for an employment lawyer and after a short phone call I was very comfortable with him. He set proper expectations and the settlement that was reached was better than expected. I highly recommend Kaplan for any employment law needs.
