About Kenneth Mitchell
Kenneth Mitchell Kaplan began his legal path after completing undergraduate studies at Boston University in 1982, where he earned a B.A. in political science and a minor in religion. He moved on to the University of Miami School of Law and received his J.D. in 1986. Those academic years set the stage for a career spent largely inside family law.
Kaplan is admitted to practice in Florida and in the District of Columbia. Early in his post-law school years he established a practice that centered on family matters. Records show him serving as a family law lawyer at The Law Offices of Kenneth M. Kaplan, Esq. beginning in 1989. That period marks the transition from classroom learning to courtroom work and client counseling.
In 2008 his role expanded to include mediation. He is a Supreme Court Certified Family Mediator under The Florida Bar. He has listed a court mediator position in family law through his own office starting in 2008. The certification and that role indicate he continues to handle both advocacy and neutral dispute resolution in domestic matters.
Kaplan has been involved in professional organizations for decades. He has held membership in the American Bar Association and the Academy of Florida Trial Lawyers since 1989. He also joined the Weston Chamber of Commerce in 2003 and remains a member. Those affiliations reflect long-standing participation in legal and community networks rather than short-term association.
Throughout his career Kaplan’s work has been anchored by a steady focus on family-related cases. His practice history, certification in family mediation, and continued membership in trial and bar associations point to steady engagement with divorce, custody, and related domestic issues. He has balanced courtroom representation with efforts to resolve disputes through mediation.
Clients and colleagues looking into his background will find academic credentials that date back to the early 1980s, admission to practice in two jurisdictions, a law practice established in 1989, and a mediation role recorded in 2008. He continues to operate under The Law Offices of Kenneth M. Kaplan, Esq., handling family law matters and mediating family disputes as part of his current practice focus.
