Genius and genuine

If you need an expert, then Max Benkel is the one to choose. Concise and collectively caring. His knowledge is exceptional and his work is beyond the scope of "getting the job done". He negotiated and championed our case.

Victory in settling my tax issues

I am so elated over the accepted offer you presented. To be able to compromise a $ 75,000.00 IRS debt for only $4,800.00 is wonderful. I knew I selected the right attorney as soon as I met you. Thanks again, this is a life changing matter for me.

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.
