A winner!

Maxine is personable and friendly, but a force to be reckoned with in the courtroom. We had great experience with her, and she helped us relocate our grandson from NY to FL to a better environment. We felt like she was a member of the family. I highly recommend Maxine.

Excellent Attorney

I am very impressed with Maxine's skills and knowledge regarding her handling my divorce. She is attentive, professional, and has a way of making person feel completely at ease in her office when discussing sensitive issues. She immediately responds to my emails and is attentive to my concerns. Sh...e was very well prepared in court and clearly well respected by the judge. I would highly recommend Maxine to anyone.

My ONLY lawyer!

Maxine represented me in my divorce. She was amazing. Great with explaining and communicating with me. Years later, Maxine did my prenup when I remarried. Most recently, Maxine represented me when I sold me home. Maxine always has my back!
