About Stephen Robert Caplan

Over the past three decades, our team at Caplan & Associates has handled thousands of bankruptcy and family law cases. We’re very proud of our experience, and we deeply honor the trust we’ve earned from each of our clients. That trust we work so hard to build doesn’t just contribute to positive case outcomes; it defines who we are as a law firm. In fact, trust is the very reason we get so many referrals from family, friends, and colleagues throughout the community.   My reputation—and my firm’s—is built on years and years of going above and beyond what is expected from an attorney. By working hard to discover and understand each and every detail of your case, our team can best prepare you financially and psychologically for even the most complex situations. We’re never more pleased than when one of our clients tells us we’ve added value to their life.   Stephen Caplan was born in Detroit, Michigan and attended Michigan State University. In 1985, he received his undergraduate degree in Criminal Justice. Stephen attended law school at Mercer University in Macon, Georgia, and received his Juris Doctor degree in 1989. He began practicing law in Georgia, working with a solo practitioner, where he was exposed to and learned from a variety of bankruptcy and family law cases.   After being admitted to the Florida Bar and moving to Florida in 1990, he worked as an associate in a small Orlando law firm until 1991 when he opened his own practice. Over the past decades, Stephen has been honored to represent thousands of clients throughout the Central Florida community and beyond.   Stephen proudly holds membership in the Orange County Bankruptcy Association, the Central Florida Bankruptcy Law Association, and the Florida Bar Family Law Section. He was recently appointed to serve on the Ninth Judicial Circuit Grievance Committee and was awarded the Champion of Excellence Award by the Legal Aid Society of the Orange County Bar Association, Inc.   Stephen previously served as an active participant in the Boy Scouts Explorer Program, tutoring high school children interested in the practice of law. He has also done extensive volunteer work as part of Big Brothers Big Sisters and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.   Currently, Stephen is an active member of the Team Selection Committee for Florida Citrus Sports, scouting college football teams for the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl and the Russell Athletic Bowl.

Hired Attorney Stephen Robert Caplan

He was very knowledgeable in the laws regarding bankruptcy. I dealt with his Paralegal more than I dealt with Mr. Caplan, which is understandable. He was very helpful and answered all of my questions.
