Mark A Kaplan

Mark, one of the founders of KAPLAN AND KAPLAN, is widely recognized as one of the leading criminal attorneys in the state of Vermont.  Mark has extensive experience in federal and state criminal law and has represented individuals on a wide range of charges from drug-related offenses, white collar crimes, child pornography, sexual assault, DUI, and robbery.  For the past 38 years, Mark has dedicated himself and his time to helping people by improving their quality of life.  He acknowledges the profound responsibility he feels for his clients in a complicated and often difficult judicial system and considers it the greatest compliment to hear that his clients feel, “secure having me represent them.”

Mark began his legal career in 1972 when he was admitted to the Vermont bar following his graduation from Boston College School of Law.  Returning to his home state of Vermont with his wife, Judy, and their young son, Robert, Mark eventually joined his father’s law firm.  The decade that followed led Mark in a direction he would consider a parallel and equally rewarding path to that of practicing law— politics.  From the Burlington Board of Alderman and Human Service Board, to the Vermont House of Representatives, to the Vermont State Senate, and finally as Chairman of the state’s Democratic party, Mark enjoyed this opportunity to serve the state of Vermont and devote his time and energy to the political process.
