Matt Kaplan has judiciously advised me on divorce matters related to child support and child tax credits recently. He shows interest in me not only as a client, but as a working father who wants to do the right thing for his children and his finances. Matt is very conscientious of the cost-benefits of legal representation and he spells out options for you so you are able to make educated legal decisions as they relate to navigating the various stages of raising children and co-parenting Matt has the benefit of his career experience and the knowledge necessary for informed, honest advice that can save you time, energy and money. I high recommend Matt Kaplan if you're in need of empathetic and expert legal representation.

There are no words to express my appreciation for Matt Kaplan and his team! In a case where most of the professionals around us lacked knowledge, Matt’s comprehension and his personal care and interest have paved the way for us to get the help we need and to have the hope that was much needed in such a difficult time! Matt and his team take a beautiful humane approach to their work that is rare and essential when dealing with child custody. So if you’re looking for a hardworking, experienced, yet sympathetic lawyer then Matt Kaplan and his team would be my highest recommendation!

I've heard many times to never trust a lawyer. However, that isn't the case with Matt. He is a very understanding, compassionate, and caring man. He knows what he is doing, and he gets it done. I would recommend Matt to everyone I know! Showing up to court wasn't something I looked forward to but Matt was always a ray of sunshine on my rainy days. He's extremely professional, and is loved by all, I don't think there's anything bad about him honestly. He not only helped me but he helped my kids as well, without him I would have been a complete train wreck by now haha

thank you Matt for everything 😁 you're truly a rare soul.

The smartest decision I could have made was hiring the firm of Mathew Kapplan as my counsel. Matt proved to be very dedicated and highly communicative throughout my entire case. He understands divorce can be very emotional and did an excellent job of managing my expectations and worked with me to see the case from a business perspective instead of an emotional one. He was definitely the voice of reason when the last thing I wanted to be was reasonable - believe me, this is an important trait in an attorney! Matt proved to be an excellent litigator when huge stakes were on the line (I still cannot thank you enough Matt!) and his negotiation skills are excellent as well. Matt is excellent at listening and was not afraid to respectfully correct me if I was being unreasonable. He handled every situation with diplomacy, tact, and candor and made sure I understood the positive and potential negative of every decision. He provided the information I needed along with his opinion but ultimately supported my decision on how to proceed. Matt was outstanding in handling all aspects of my case and I cannot imagine having gotten through this without him!
A few words about his support staff.....A strong support staff is critical to having an efficient and effective operation - the support staff led by Susan Fontanez was top notch! She was timely, professional, courteous and organized. Sue was also just as dedicated as Matt when it came to communication and follow up.
I strongly recommend hiring Mathew Kapplan as your divorce attorney. He and his firm are excellent at what they do in a very difficult field.

Matt Kaplan is the best family attorney in Lake County. He is responsive to the needs of his clients and has a kind approach to people going through difficult times. He took my anxiety away with court process and made things better for my situation. I highly recommend his services.

Matthew Kaplan is one of the best and honorable lawyers I have met. He was very informative and helped guide me in the right direction. I really don’t understand where this Guy Happles is coming from. Mr. Kaplan definitely put the needs of my children first and I would definitely recommend him; I understand that the topic of divorce is a difficult one (especially for my fellow servicemembers), but Matthew Kaplan definitely brings great morals and logic to the table. If someone is looking for a great family lawyer, Mathew Kaplan is the man for the job.

Mr. Kaplan was an excellent attorney. My case is very complex, has many layers and involves another state. Mr. Kaplan worked overtime on my case, always kept me up-to-date and to this day has never given up helping and is always a phone call away to consult with my other attorneys involved.

I have worked with many attorneys and most never took my calls, responded to emails or involved me in the process. This was NOT how Mr. Kaplan was and he showed me what it was like to have an attorney who actually cared about my case and what was happening to my children.

I would recommend Mr. Kaplan to anyone who is involved in a custody proceeding because he will not only fight for you but your children as well.
