Kaplan, Brad C.

An attorney with a strong desire to help you resolve your family law issues and move forward with your life.

Carole Stevens is an attorney who can approach your divorce or family matter from a practical, non-confrontational position.  Her philosophy in working with divorce clients is to provide them with clear, concise legal advice to help them gain an understanding of the process, the legal system and the client’s options, so that each party can make the best possible decision for their family and changing family needs.  She believes that each divorce or family matter is intrinsically different and personal in nature, and that you have a right to design the best possible divorce.
