Always comes through for us

Max has handled two evictions for us with positive outcome. For us. The tenants not so much! Definitely recommend him. He responsive and gets the job done!

Excellent lawyer

I hired Max to handle a very unusual and complex court case, and he went above and beyond to help me resolve a nightmare situation. He is smart, responsive, and gets the job done efficiently. I would definitely hire him again, and I highly recommend him.

Posted by Michael | February 02, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Commercial

Highly Recommend

I currently own multiple apartment buildings in the Capital Region, and have been using Max for about 2 years. I have been completely satisfied with the quality of his work. He is professional, respectful, detail oriented, and knowledgeable. There have been times when I have contacted him on night...s and weekends and he has responded immediately. This level of service is hard to find.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
