About Maxine
Biography
I have dedicated my career to helping people get through divorce and other family law matters. By taking a holistic approach to your matter, we will look at the big picture and formulate a plan that protects you and your family's best interests. Together we can discuss your options and you can always rely on my committment to resolve your case in a manner that is cost-effective and meets your objectives. With this approach, together we will be able to make sound decisions for you and your family.
I have 30 years of experience in matrimonial law, including considerable work resolving both complex and litigious divorces for high net worth individuals, as well as swiftly and amicably negotiating settlements. You can rely on me to zealously and agressively advocate for your rights, whether we resolve the issues through negotiation or at trial.
Many people do no initially think of a lawyer as a source of support during a difficult time, but my clients consistently tell me that my approach, understanding and expertise make the process easier for them.

Not impressed with Maxine even though reviews stated otherwise. I went for a consultation and walked out with my anxiety level up. Instead of calming my fears Maxine magnified issues tremendously. Meditation as an option was never presented to me. All I heard from her that we will get him for this, ...

Replied last April 29, 2019I have no record of having a consultation with a person by the name of Christina which fits this description. Nevertheless, the accusations levied herein are not in keeping with my general philosophy or the way I practice family law. If anything, it is always my goal to try and resolve issues through negotiation and settlement prior to engaging in litigation. In fact, I am known in the legal community for my ability to settle most matters, thereby avoiding expensive litigation and the accumulation of unnecessary legal fees. I am always cognizant of the cost and expense of litigation and many of my client's comment on how they are grateful for my sensitivity to this issue and for my ability to keep costs down whenever possible.
