Stephen Robert Caplan

Over the past three decades, our team at Caplan & Associates has handled thousands of bankruptcy and family law cases. We’re very proud of our experience, and we deeply honor the trust we’ve earned from each of our clients. That trust we work so hard to build doesn’t just contribute to positive case outcomes; it defines who we are as a law firm. 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.
