He is clear and to the point, very professional and always answers the phone or quickly returns them. His staff is very efficient and friendly.
I recommend him greatly!
I had hired and fired two different attorneys prior to turning to Mr. Kaplan. After no other attorney was willing to help me after reviewing the pages and pages of dockets on my case, Mr. Kaplan didn't even hesitate. Just to tell you that after just three months of complicated motions and hearings, I can say without even flinching that he not only knows law, but is so good at defending my kids. He is a father himself, so putting himself in my shoes wasn't really all that difficult. He knows his way around the courtroom, everyone knows him and is very well respected by Judges and other lawyers, particularly opposing counsel, which has been a thorn on my family's side since day one. Believe me when I tell you that I had been struggling with depression, anxiety and had become a major cynic because of always having to be one step ahead of the kid's fathers' sociopathic tendencies. If anyone has ever dealt with this type of behavior, it is not easy.
Now, in just a few months, my whole life has changed. These people, meaning the father of my children, his girlfriend and opposing counsel, no longer take up my time, my energy or my thoughts because for the first time I feel things are under control. I believe it's because of Mr. Kaplan's demeanor, knowledge and his demand of respect in the courtroom that has subsided this high conflict case as much as it has. He's always on time, calling me asking me where I am and prepared to go in a win!
....But what I like most about Mr. Kaplan is how he helps me see things differently when it comes to the situations I am put in by the father. He's taught me not to sweat the small stuff. He is level headed and very responsive whenever I need to speak with him. He never talks to me through his Paralegal like my prior attorneys. He is straight with you and tells you like it is, which I appreciate a lot. He's reasonable and not money hungry either. He tells you what you get for your money and he delivers on it.
So, if you are in the same situation that I was, please don't hesitate and give him a chance to defend you. You will not regret it! And I am legit. Not a friend or a relative. I am just a client that is thrilled to have Mr. Kaplan on my side.
He used games and threats using my daughter to get me to settle. Never hire an attorney unless is highly recommended by someone you know. This one tells you he knows what is going on and you can tell he is not on top of things juggling too many cases. His assistant answered incorrectly to petitions. It was a mess and all games at the end. He actually withdrew when he saw I made it tough on him which I did on purpose to see where he would go while I had already seen another attorney. The reviews here had to be planted.
Kenneth is “representing” my sister... Well not really... he just took her money and is slacking off and not doing anything to help her. For the past 3 months we were given broken promises, disrespect and THOUSANDS of dollars in bills from this man. My sister is fighting her abusive husband for custody. Kenneth couldn’t even get her a restraining order, which he promised. Every time hes suppose to do something, he doesn’t do it. He then blames it on one of the staff like Evelyn. Kenneth is incompetent. His office is filled with dust, mold and is the size of a closet. My sister is done having false hope and is going to find a new lawyer who will use her money to actually get something done for her. Kenneth, we will be reporting you to the bar.

Encontré al Sr. Kaplan para mí un abogado ejemplar. Fue honesto y respetado por el juez. Diligente en la revisión del largo historial de mi casos y estuvo siempre preparado en la corte. Cuando lo contraté por primera vez hace 2 años, solo tenía contacto intermitente con mi hijo. Cuando terminé, Ken me consiguió la custodia total. Nos dio a mí y a mi hijo una nueva oportunidad de vida. Hay una multitud de abogados de divorcios en Miami, creo que he contratado a muchos de ellos. Pero nadie hizo el trabajo que hizo el Sr. Kaplan. Me siento bendecido de haberlo encontrado.
His office staff, Milli and Evelyn have always been very prompt. They’re great to work with and have always been there for me. Just as much as Mr. Kaplan
I am appalled to read these fake reviews, intentionally hurting the reputation of Mr. Kaplan. This hurts me to see a genuinely good person misrepresented.
-FIRST OFF! HOW ARE YOU GOING TO LIE AND SAY YOU DID NOT REPRESENT ME??? LIAR!
My review:
- Horrible place. Rudest assistants ever. Especially Evelyn and Milly B. Customer service is not practiced here, and they’re sarcastic, degrading and dismissal attitude is included in Kenneth Kaplan’s rate. A lot of law firms offer a discount at the end of the service, for a positive google/yelp review. This place is HORRIBLE!!! don’t waste your money. You will be disrespected at every phone call, and it’s SHOCKING the language they use in Emails. Rude assistants who GOSSIP and MOCK your personal struggles. Caught Evelyn grinning when I opened up in the office at my MARRIAGE!!!!! 0 out of 5 stars!!
His paralegals were very efficient and timely. Overall a great experience. The entire staff was professional and caring.
His assistant Evelyn was also very helpful and available to answer any questions.
Thank you so much

He gets things done! He’s always very efficient, and you can always count on him to get the best possible outcome for you. I’ve been his client for almost 3 years and had other cases against me and he was always available to assist me even on those. He is kind and extremely knowledgeable and can assist you with anything. He’s always available when you need him. I highly, highly, recommend Mr Kaplan.
I WILL RETAIN HIM AGAIN IF I NEED TO!
My family has gone out of their way to love this woman even after her negative behavior throughout many years. The father is outstanding. We do not understand this highly erratic behavior that is targeting the only people who have helped her without wanting anything in return.
He was Asking questions as if it was the first time he was speaking to us. He rarely answered emails and was barely present to answer the phone. He is quick to bill us for the work or lack of work he was doing not to mention we had to call several times for him to file a motion.
He always had his assistant answer the calls who had NO CLUE what was going on. We had a visit scheduled weeks before the case and he made us wait 1 HOUR!!! We just had to leave and did not meet with him because we had to work. The day of our court session our attorney Kenneth Kaplan DID NOT BOTHER TO SHOW UP!!! He sent his assistant. My wife did 90% of the talking on our case for our daughter who is being put in harms way by her drunk father. His attorney was aggressive and spoke over my wife because the assistant did not know anything. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY, YOU WILL REGRET IT, HE IS ONLY $275 FOR A REASON, HE DOESN'T DO ANYTHING BUT BILL YOU. HE IS A FRAUD AND SHOULD NOT BE PRACTICING LAW!!! WE NEED A REFUND FOR HIm NOT SHOWING UP IN COURT!!! COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN FILED WITH THE BAR.
Responsive, responsible keeps me up to date
He’s still my family law attorney till this day wouldn’t change it for nothing.
Thanks again Ken
I have been represented by Mr. Kaplan in one case regarding time-sharing and child support of my son. This case started in 2010 and I retained Mr. Kaplan’s services in 2012. As of the date of this review we are still in court in a new iteration of the same case.
Over the years, Mr. Kaplan has helped me navigate the extremely confusing legal world and has filed different legal procedures to help me retain Sole parental custody of my child.
It gives me a sense of pride to walk into and out of the courtroom next to Mr. Kaplan, as I am confident he has crossed all the T’s and dotted the I’s and no matter what decision the Judge makes, my case will be clearly explained and he will object promptly to the shady tactics used by the other’s party lawyer.
I am very thankful to him for always defending me in court and being very resourceful as to the options we have available."
I'm not planning on adopting another kid but I would totally recommend this awesome attorney to my friends or anyone looking for a professional and knowledgeable attorney

Angela Cox:
I was extremely fortunate to have Mr. Kaplan on my case. When things seemed hopeless for me, Mr. Kaplan defended me to the maximum. He never gave up on me and guided me. He encouraged me to do better and motivated me. With his extensive knowledge in law and his kind heart, I can honestly say he's the best attorney I've ever had. He's patient with his clients, has their best interest, and will fight relentlessly on their behalf. He's strong willed, determined, and knows his profession in its entirety. If you want a lawyer who is kind to his clients and is a beast who knows what he's doing in the courtroom, I highly recommend Mr. Ken Kaplan. Not only did he help me win my case, he never gave up on me and showed me there's good people in this world who care.

I really felt the power when I walked in the court with atty. Kenneth Kaplan every one was calling his name his very popular because of the long time experience and of the lot of cases he done and made all his clients happy.
Thank you.
My child support was very high & i was still paying for a child that was grown & gone .
Also my time with my children was so limited I felt cheated .
Kenneth was able to save me over $800.00 a month .And made it so that I have more time with my kids.
My quality of life has improved & im so much happier .
I cant thank him enough.
