Founding Partner
Kaplan Marino PC
Since the start of his career, Richard D. Kaplan has helped moved the legal profession forward and furthered relationships between the bar and bench. As a past president of the Beverly Hills Bar Association he is currently on the Executive Council of the National Association of Bar Presidents. Kaplan manages serious criminal charges that threaten the livelihood and reputations of white-collar clients, including high net worth individuals, entrepreneurs, corporations and their officers and executives. Kaplan’s creative strategies during negotiations with authorities have led to numerous acquittals, no-charges-filed, probation and record expungement outcomes for clients. His experience includes fraud, narcotics, vehicular manslaughter, and domestic violence, among others. Several recent representations have involved #MeToo allegations, building code violations and overcharging claims issued by weights and measure agencies. He has assembled a formidable team of professionals and deep resources that support his alternative approaches and customized defense advocacy.
