Reviews
"Overall, a law firm that performs well on all parameters is likely to provide very efficient, reliable, experienced and satisfactory legal services to its clients."
"I had the pleasure of working with Kaplan and Kaplan, and in particular, Dawn Acevedo, on multiple sales transactions both as a seller and a buyer's agent. I can't speak highly enough about their exceptional service. The team is consistently punctual and proactive, addressing any potential issues before they become problems. Dawn, in particular, has been a pillar of support, offering invaluable advice and assisting clients with any questions or needs. I wholeheartedly recommend their services and personally rely on them for all my real estate transactions. It's easy when everything goes smooth, but if there are any difficult situations you better have this team behind your back!!! Thank you for your outstanding work!!!"
"The dedication and professionalism displayed by Jared Kaplan and the entire team at Kaplan, DiTrapani, Faria & Rabanipour were truly remarkable. They went above and beyond to provide me with personalized attention and legal guidance that exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this firm to anyone in need of legal services. Their expertise, friendly approach, and commitment to their clients make them a top choice in the field. Thank you, Kaplan, DiTrapani, Faria & Rabanipour, for your outstanding support and exceptional service!"
"(Please refer to Ning Z's review on the background, with the review way exceeding the charactor limit and we had to delete 1/3 of the whole story!) I'm the co-owner of the house. To add to the above long story, during the closing cost calculation, the attorney's calculation is incorrect and if I didn't find it out, I'll spend $$$$ more! Also after this ‘tragedy’ happened, I finally got through Jeanine’s line (as she doesn’t pick up my phone until I emailed her CCing other people and team), her response is that ‘I didn’t hold your hand and force you to close. You signed it yourself!’ And no advice is provided at all. Moreover, until today they just did not feel sorry for us, due to their own unprofessional practice. Nobody helped us or recommend anything to us. They just hide things, and play silence. I almost commenced lawsuit against the seller, and right before I paid the expensive letigation commence fee, I gave seller another chance by calling/texting them directly, and just realized they have sent their attorney information to our attorney Jeanine many times in the past, want to reach to a settlement, but received no news, no feedback!!! I have been following with Jeanine on a weekly basis but she did NOT mention it at all!!! I only worked with 2 of their attorneys, and I cannot speak for everyone in their lawfirm. But I think 2 are enough -- you don't want to risk your million-house in those hearts that only cares about money but not people's lives. My advice is, DO NOT USE THEM, AT LEAST FIND SOMEONE WHO IS AT LEAST PROFESSIONAL, AND AT LEAST HAVE A TINY TINY BIT OF SYMPATHY. And as I read some other one-star reviews from others one year back, I see the business replied saying “our firm is not Kaplan, Kaplan & DiTrapani, LLP, they are a different law firm in the same field!”. They are still trying to lie and deny all the bad reviews! I can confirm for sure that their old name is Kaplan, Kaplan & DiTrapani, LLP, as that’s the initial firm we found and called and worked with. The phone numbers even not changed! There is name change later on but it originates from the same company and same people! (Maybe other lawyer joined so they expand the name!) Last but not least, I think 1 star is still way too highly-rated!"
"We purchased a new construction using this company, and that’s when all the nightmare and life-ruiner began. At first we have been working with another attorney Michele in their firm for over 1 year, but last 1-2 weeks before closing, she suddenly went on absence and handed our case to Jeanine, without any notice in plan in advance. After a couple of times of discussion with Jeanine, I found her very unprofessional, and emailed her company requesting to assign a more experienced lawyer. But they declined my request and say Jeanine is very experienced. Around closing date, the house does NOT have gas or heating. She just told us our option is either to push back the closing with $250/day of fine, or close and wait for gas. We felt it unreasonable but just trusted her. She finally chose closing to be on Nov 15th, saying it's requested by seller. On the site, the seller’s attorney came into the room first. When just 2 of us were there, I asked him why he picked this date, and he said it’s my attorney who picked it! (But I clearly told my attorney to push the date as late as possible!) On site, they also agreed to finish everything on the punchlist by 12/15/2022, and mentioned that the gas is very fast, would take just a 'turn-on', at most a week, or just a couple of weeks. Under all the misleading and pressure, I was kind of ‘forced’ to sign the contract and close the house. And we ran out of places to live until end of March, 2023!!! From all the broker/lawyer/real estate related person I’ve talked to after this happened, their first reaction is that my attorney should have never let me close under such condition. Being an ‘experienced’ person in real estate industry, she should have known that a house have no gas can never obtain a CO! And should have talked to the town town to retract the CO so that the seller can only sell the house to me after they obtained a valid CO! (I knew this because after several months' wait in vain, I called the town and they said they would forfeit the CO and need to reissue a new one until it has gas!) During the 5 months, we lived here and there with a 2-yr-old! (didn't rent a place as they always tell us the gas will be there 'next week'). A lot of other troubles came – we had to hand wash our clothes and hang them dry in winter, we had to run here and there without stable living environment and exposing to all the virus. Also we love natural food, we purely breastfeed our baby until 1, and hand-cook every single meal and all snacks/cakes are home-made to her. But for more than 5 months, we can not cook for her at all, but had to order unhealthy adult take-out food for her. Moreover, as we are floating around, we cannot really send her to local school or not even have in-home nanny (ironically we bought a house in the school district and have to pay all the expensive taxes even we can't live there!) In the end we couldn’t bear our 2-year-old daughter to wander with us, and had to send her back to our hometown in China. She’s been living in another country for 4 months without parents! We missed our planned Thanksgiving and Christmas in our new house, missed New Year and traditional Lunar New Year, missed valentine’s day and all the important dates and holidays. A lot of stuff were in the house without gas for months and have grown mold, including part of the floors! Newly purchase items turn useless or passed the return deadline. We lost 40k including a forever scar on the forehead of my 2-yr-old due to fell in the driveway of the new house. I called the law firm when Michele returned, planning to request seller to reimburse us. And her first sentence is that 'Jeanine screwed you up'. But she declines to work in the case and said Jeanine had to take over as she's the one in closing. Nevertheless, Jeanine is not really responding, and today I just found out seller sent her their new attorney's contact many times but she did not act on it or tell me about it! We now totally feel regretful of using this attorney firm! No one in the firm is thinking on behalf of their clients!"
