We’re very proud of our experience, and we deeply honor the trust we’ve earned from each of our clients.

In fact, trust is the very reason we get so many referrals from family, friends, and colleagues throughout the community. My reputation—and my firm’s—is built on years and years of going above and beyond what is expected from an attorney. By working hard to discover and understand each and every detail of your case, our team can best prepare you financially and psychologically for even the most complex situations. We’re never more pleased than when one of our clients tells us we’ve added value to their life. Stephen Caplan was born in Detroit, Michigan and attended Michigan State University.

Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.The best law firm. Professional from beginning to end. I highly recommend them.
He was very knowledgeable in the laws regarding bankruptcy. I dealt with his Paralegal more than I dealt with Mr. Caplan, which is understandable. He was very helpful and answered all of my questions.
