About Robert M
Robert M Kaplan has practiced law for decades. He built a career that balances legal work and community involvement. He earned his J.D. from the University of Florida in 1986 and later returned to the classroom to complete an MBA at Roosevelt University in 2003. Those credentials underpin a steady professional life grounded in both legal training and business understanding.
After finishing law school, Kaplan entered private practice. Over the years he has maintained a presence in the suburbs of Chicago, operating from the Law Offices of Robert M. Kaplan, P.C. He has handled matters typical of a private firm and has managed the practical demands of running an office. The combination of a law degree and an MBA has informed how he approaches client files and administrative decisions alike.
Kaplan has also been active in civic and professional circles. He has been a member of the Northwest Suburban Bar Association since 1991, a group that connects local attorneys and provides a forum for ongoing professional development. He joined the Schaumburg A.M. Rotary Club in 1993 and remains a member. His involvement extends to faith-based leadership; he has served as President of Beth Tikvah Congregation and has been a member there since 1991. Those long-term memberships reflect a consistent engagement in community institutions outside the office.
Colleagues describe him as steady and methodical. Clients have looked to him for straightforward counsel and practical problem solving. He balances courtroom and office responsibilities when cases require it, while also attending to the administrative aspects of a small firm practice. Over time he has navigated changes in the legal landscape and adapted his practice to the needs of his clients.
His work life is not solely legal. The MBA study in 2003 broadened his perspective on organizational and financial matters, which he applies to firm operations and client advisement. He maintains membership in local organizations to stay connected to both the legal community and civic life. As of 2026 he continues to practice from the Law Offices of Robert M. Kaplan, P.C., where he focuses on maintaining his private practice and serving clients through the combination of legal counsel and business awareness.
