Concentrating in Family Law and Divorce Mediation

Attorney Kaplan offers mediation as a confidential and less costly alternative to lengthy divorce litigation.

Testimonial

"Once you’ve come to the painful decision to end a marriage, the daunting process begins. Entering into mediation was a civil way to close a chapter in my life. After meeting Judy I realized my divorce could actually go smoothly. Judy had a unique style of never taking a side. I felt she was working for me but at the same time she had everyone’s best interest in mind. A tough balancing act when the emotions are flying. I’d never been divorced before so I had no idea the process involved. Everything was explained in detail and followed through on. After coming through a successful divorce thanks to Judy, I realize now how difficult her job is. She does it with grace, style and vigor. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is contemplating a mediated divorce."
