We started this firm for one reason: to fight for people who were sexually harassed, racially targeted, or fired for exercising their legal rights.
At Kaplan Employment Law, we stand with individuals fired for reporting discrimination. Whether you reported discrimination, requested medical leave, or challenged illegal treatment, you deserve protection—not retaliation. This firm restores power to employees and hold employers accountable when they break the law.
A Storytelling Mindset. A Litigation Mission.
Before founding Kaplan Employment Law, Brett Kaplan earned an MFA in creative writing and published short fiction in national literary journals. But writing fictional stories wasn’t enough. He wanted to tell real ones: stories of people standing up to injustice, only to face retaliation in return.
Employment law became where purpose and advocacy met. Here, real stories could be told—and justice could be pursued.
Today, our firm is built on that foundation: we don’t just file legal claims. We build cases rooted in truth, backed by evidence, and shaped to appeal to juries and reveal what really happened. Because telling your story powerfully is one of the most effective tools in the law.
We’re Not a Volume Firm. We’re a Values-Driven Firm.
Kaplan Employment Law doesn’t aim to be the biggest. Our goal is to be the most effective, most responsive, and most committed to our clients.
- We only take cases we believe in.
- We give each case focused, hands-on attention.
- We work closely with every client, because building a case starts with listening.
When we take your case, it means we believe in your story and your legal claim. We’ll stand beside you from the first conversation to the final resolution—whether that’s through negotiation, mediation, or trial.
Our Clients Are the Reason We Do This
We represent employees who’ve been:
- Sexually harassed or assaulted by supervisors or coworkers
- Fired after reporting workplace discrimination or requesting protected leave
- Pushed out for complaining about unsafe or unlawful practices
- Offered unfair severance terms or pressured into silence
We’ve helped clients walk away with results that matter—restoring not just their income, but their sense of dignity and control.
We Also Help Small Businesses Get It Right
We’re proud to advise small businesses that want to do things the right way. Our employer-side work focuses on prevention, compliance, and ethical decision-making:
- Drafting custom handbooks and severance agreements
- Investigating workplace complaints with neutrality and care
- Providing clear guidance on terminations and legal risk
- Responding to EEOC charges with professionalism and strategy
We believe better workplaces are built and we’re proud to play a role in both.
Kaplan Employment Law was founded to tell the stories that matter, protect the rights that matter, and deliver results when it matters most.
If your rights have been violated, we’re here to help you fight back.
