Poor communication / Lack of concern

I had the misfortune of working with Katie Maxwell as my private attorney, and unfortunately, I experienced significant difficulties in communicating with her over the course of more than a month. Despite my repeated attempts to reach out and even attending court sessions without her, resulting in mu...ltiple continuances and ultimately necessitating the hire of another attorney. I strongly advise against retaining Kate Maxwell's services if one requires diligent representation, as she demonstrates a lack of concern for her clients' needs and fails to maintain adequate communication.

Never researched the case.

Refused to look at evidence or interview witnesses among other unprofessional habits and actions.

Horrible is an understatement

I have dealt with Katie Maxwell few times and I cannot stress enough how incompetent and rude she is. I have never seen an attorney that never review a case before entering a court room. A rookie can wipe the floor with Katie. I will not recommend her even if she pays me as a client. No wonder she ke...eps getting fired from a firm to another. Who would hire such a mediocre lawyer.

My Attorney

Katie is very honest and upfront. She will tell you your best options. She is always there to guide you along the way. She does not give you any BS. She fights to get you the best outcome for your situation! Highly recommend. I wouldn’t go to anyone else!
