Motarized document for early pension plan Spouse's waiver of Survivor Annuity

I live in Southern California. My Husband is incarcerated in a facility up in Northern California. Mr. Maxwell got approved to with a date to sign the document in about a week so that I could move forward with my early pension option. My company was giving me a very short timeline to get everything n...otarized and returned to them. I was very happy with the service I received. Always in constant contact, very professional, made me feel at ease, I would definitely recommend him to future clients.

Great help with launching my online Start-Up

When I launched my online start-up business last year I hired Scott to help me with general business filings with the State Department and to act as the general counsel of the company when/if needed. He was very helpful and knowledgeable in pointing out various legal issues I needed to consider after... launching the new business. He was helping me with every legal aspect of the start-up, from writing the website "User Agreement" and "Privacy Policy" to formulating Service Contracts for new clients. He also helped with the trademarking of the business name. He filed, reviewed and kept a close eye on the trademark application and process. He also helped the business with various small filings, and gave prompt and precious advise when I considered bringing in new partners to grow my company. He was helpful with re-structuring of the company and making sure all the paperwork and initial contracts are rock solid before going into effect.

Great Help with Trademark Infringement Issue

Scott was a great help with our trademark infringement issues. In today's social media times, it is extremely important to ensure your trademark is not being violated... and Scott helped us with just that. Without needing to perform lengthy "research" (lawyer speak for, "I don't know anything about t...hat") he was able to cite the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act of 1999 (the “ACPA”) and send a cease & desist letter to our infringers. They stopped infringing on our trademark, and everything was settled by a carefully worded letter from Scott.

Recommend without hesitation

I have hired Mr. Maxwell for a number of personal and business-related legal issues, and I recommend his services without hesitation. He has overseen the review of numerous corporate contracts for several of my LLCs and one of my LLPs. I used him for a second opinion on a legal matter in which I had ...initially involved a separate attorney, and Mr. Maxwell's attention to detail saved my partners and I from experiencing unnecessary headache and financial loss. In the future, I will continue to use him and benefit from his services.

Top-notch attorney

I have used Scott for several legal issues relating to estate planning, complex wills, business issues, and legal contracts. Scott is a brilliant attorney. The work that he has done for me and my family has been excellent. He is thorough, responsive, easy to work with, and has the utmost integri...ty. He has an excellent reputation, and his fees are extremely reasonable. I recommend Scott without reservation.

  • 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.
