Max Ramsey Rodden

Max is a really great family attorney. I went through 2 custody hearings and a divorce. Hopefully, I will never have to go through what I went through again, but if I do, Max would be my only choice. Going through this difficult situation was very stressful and mentally exhausting for me. Max is ...very calm, but his laid-back temperament does not mean he doesn’t care about your case. Looking back, if I’ve learned anything, you do not want an attorney who is high strung. If your attorney gets all wound up with you, both of you are not thinking clear. Max is the perfect balance of calm that I needed, as I was falling off the edge. Through the hearing preparation, Max clearly explained things to me, advised me of potential scenarios that may happen in court based on the facts of my case, advised me of what documents I would need to bring with me to be prepared, and when it was time for him to give his thoughts to the judge, he did not hold back. When he was giving his closing arguments, he remembered details that I didn’t even remember, which says a lot about the attention and time he put into my case. I also really appreciated that Max didn’t overwhelm me with information and advice I did not need. Family attorneys bill by the hour. The more he advises on what “could” happen (there are so many possible scenarios), the more my bill goes up. At the beginning of the case, he asked me for a timeline of all the events that happened, and he went to work. He gave me information/advice on a need to know basis to keep my bill lower. But if I had a question, even if it was during weekend hours, he was quick to answer me. I wouldn’t have made it through my situation without Max. As I mentioned above, he is calm, collective, organized, detail oriented and has the experience you want to have on your side. Once a custody order is done, it is very difficult to change anything, so this may be your only chance. Make sure you make the right choice by choosing Max. Your child is worth it!

I hired Max Rodden and paralegal Tara Whitley for an unfortunate separation case with my wife. From day one Max was very upfront about the process and helped me to fully understand how everything worked and the best and worst possible outcomes. He was very professional and extremely easy to talk to a...nd work with. This process was extremely stressful and overwhelming to me but due to his professionalism it made everything much easier to stomach. The most important and stressful part of this process was my assets and debts hearing. When it actually came time to have our haring I was completely blown away at how Max and Tara stepped up and were fully ready and prepared to address anything and everything that came about during this hearing. If it wasn't for his thoroughness in this most important hearing me and my company and my daughter would all be in a very bad spot. I would HIGHLY recommend Max to handle any and all family matters someone might have

Max Rodden was my lawyer for my divorce settlement. He worked closely with me to get the best settlement possible. He and his legal assistant both knew my case well and worked tirelessly from their Raleigh office traveling to my local county only when necessary. I was very pleased and would recommend... Mr.Rodden to anyone.

I cannot say enough about Max Rodden. First of all, he cares. That alone is worth his hourly rate. He fought HARD for me and my daughters and never steered me wrong, all of his advice was on point and he won every single motion he filed in my case. He is very personable, and down to earth. He is also... very fair when it comes to billing. I know for certain I could not have been in better hands throughout a highly contentious divorce. I would highly recommend him. He is always a step ahead of the opposing attorney and out smarts them. My ex husband went through 5 attorneys, yes 5 during our divorce because none of them could handle Max!
