Fantastic Lawyer

Mr. Story has kept a very harrassing debt firm off of bothering me for many years. He is very well known in the circles, and is professional. If you need someone in regards to financial matters, this is your guy.

Fair and honest

Max Story he’s an honest and fair attorney he did not try to take advantage of my situation for the sake of legal fees. He was honest and told me exactly what I could do or couldn’t do. Twice I spoke to him and he gave me free advice. He did not waste my time or money. True professional! I would... strongly recommend Max Story.

Amazing Attorney to work with!!

My wife had some serious disputes with one of her first Landlords in 2004 To the point that we needed to move her business. The landlord filed for a judgement against her, We were referred to Max by a friend. The best option at the time was Bankruptcy financially. though she was extremely upset with... the whole situation, Max made the entire process smooth and effective. unfortunately this large landlord here in town is relentless, so periodically Max has had to step in and resolve issues even during 2020. we have also referred Max to other friends and family throughout the years with every situation being handled in wonderful fashion. Max is truly a GEM of an attorney! If you need him do not hesitate.. Just call him you'll know right away.

Amazing Attorney!!

I first came to Max about 5 years ago seeking consumer law advice due to some complications from from a foreclosure and other financial issues that dated back to the 2008 housing crises. He was very generous and understanding of my situation and gave me sage advice on several occasions, despite the f...act that I hadn't retained him as an attorney (yet). He went way out of his way to help, when he certainly wasn't obligated to. Fast forward to 2017, several things happened and I found myself 100% in-need of a consumer protection attorney. Mr. Story was the only one on my list due to how nice and generous he was in the years prior. We actually had several cases come out of the woodwork from 2017 to 2018 and he and his team worked hard to get me out of the legal mess I found myself in. Max worked hard for me and we won favorable outcomes in all instances! My legal woes are now behind me and I can honestly say Max isn't just a really good attorney, he's a good friend and it feels great knowing that I have a friend like Max Story. My family and I are very grateful for the work Max did, words can't describe how amazing it was to watch Max turn it all around when things looked pretty bleak for us. I would recommend him to anybody and everybody. He's a stand-up guy who really does care and this is obvious in his work.

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.
