Carol Kaplan demonstrated strong expertise in entertainment law, particularly in motion pictures and television, which was evident in her handling of a contract dispute for my production company. She was recognized by Best Lawyers, and her knowledge of the industry was clear. However, her responsiveness was inconsistent, and I sometimes had to follow up to get timely updates. While her legal advice was sound, I expected more proactive communication from an attorney of her caliber. Overall, she was competent but not exceptional in client service.
