REVIEWS

Written by Steven J. Kaplan, Esq. | February 8, 2025

Real people. Real results.

These results are from people who either took my course or hired me to represent them in their divorce in Monmouth County (most did both).

Like you, they had questions.

They needed answers.

My divorce course helped them.

We can help you, too.

Testimonials

C.Z. (July 2024): "I have been struggling through an immensely unique and complex custody situation. During our consult, Steve did not clock watch and was completely invested in hearing my case, while showing total compassion and invaluable legal insight, long past our paid time. He and Valerie are an amazing team who genuinely care about their clients. My case is in no means simple, and he perfected taking my scrambled, lengthy, emotional ramblings and sorting them into powerful, to-the-point certifications for the court. I could not have done this without their help."
