Excellent Service!

We were searching for a reputable attorney to help my husband apply for disability benefits. We interviewed a few, but we didn’t feel good about our findings; that is, until we found Brennen at Maki Law! He was responsive, informative and professional. He gave us guidance on navigating the process an...d realistic expectations on the outcome. He never made us feel like our questions were bothersome, and we had a LOT of questions! Thanks to him, we had a successful outcome, and much quicker than we had anticipated! We will continue to sing his praises, every opportunity we get!

Dental Hygienist

I am writing to share my experience with Brennen Maki and his staff. I was in need of help after working in a profession for 32 years and became disabled following a neck surgery and extensive wear and tear on my hands and neck with my profession. . He walked me through every step and was so compa...ssionate and patient. His staff followed up with me to make sure I understood everything and helped me with all of the paperwork and any questions I had with kindness and compassion every step of the way. This whole process went so smoothly and I feel so grateful for Brennen and his staff to help provide me with a secure future. I highly recommend this group for any help in providing guidance to see what your rights are when you are facing adversity and struggles that may be hindering your ability to work and make a living.

SSDI case

I hired Maki Law to help me with filing for SSDI. Attorney Brennen Maki & paralegal Kaitlyn Khan were awesome to work with! From my first phone call with Atty Maki, I felt as though I'd made the right decision. Emails were always returned promptly. In phone conversations, Brennen and Kaitlyn patientl...y answered my (many) questions - never rushing me or making me feel that a question/concern was unimportant. They were down to earth, kind & reassuring; I was super-glad I had them in my corner.

Needed Someone Kind With Bite

Defamation and libel suits can be notoriously difficult to win, but their impact on a business can be deadly, so when I finally decided something had to be done to make it stop I reached out to a friend of mine who works in a law office. She recommended 3 different attorneys, but when I spoke with Br...ennen I knew he was the lawyer I needed... sympathetic, but with the right amount of fight to help me get through an ordeal that was hurting me as much on a personal level as on a professional one. Brennen laid out a clear plan of "attack" and then pursued it vigorously. He was always available to me and helped me remain as calm and detached as I could possibly be, given the situation. The course of action he took enabled us get through the legal system fairly expeditiously, and when it came time to negotiate a settlement in my favor, he provided counsel that was prudent and appropriate. Having him on my side allowed me to negotiate an awful and unjust ordeal until such time as the suit was resolved in my favor.
