Stephen Kaplan has specialized in divorce law for over 30 years now. He's been named a divorce Super Lawyer by New Jersey Monthly magazine for five years in a row and served as chairman of the early settlement panel for three years and been a member of that for over 20 years. He has always been cutting edge. He was certified as a mediator in law school long before it became popularized. Steven also clerked with a divorce court judge before embarking in private practice. 

In this episode, we discuss:

Having empathy for your client is an important characteristic for a divorce attorney. This can mean a certain level of vulnerability, so how do you manage that balance?

Giving often comes back to you in spades. Steven writes helpful articles for people thinking about or going through divorce, which attracts new clients.

The importance of moving beyond the petty in order to protect your family and children during the process of divorce. Dignity, fairness, and kindness are important to maintain.

The changing tide in practicing with more compassion, and how Steven sees the future of divorce law, aided by social media.
