Great Lawyer
OUTSTANDING! Don't like lawyers much, but I had an issue that Factor was perfectly suited to handle. He did it for a reasonable price. Everything was done on time. Smart guy who really helped alot. Will use him again in the future.

Highly Recommend Max Factor Law
In a child custody case, Max was a beacon of hope when a satisfactory resolution seemed impossible. He was not only extremely knowledgeable, analytical, and strategic, but also truly listened with intent to fully understand a complicated case. Max and his team (Sandie, Amber, and Eric) were always there to answer questions we had, even outside of our meetings, and did so with quickness. I will always feel grateful for the way he professionally, but fiercely, managed to obtain the end result we were all hoping for. I highly recommend Max Factor Law to anyone in need of a family lawyer.

Heaven Sent
I have had the honor and pleasure of working with Max, Eric and Sandie. This firm and the staff are so warm, welcoming and knowledgeable. Every question I had was answered and in a way that I understood fully. Eric and Max went to bat for me in mediation and were relentless on making sure that I didn't have to sacrifice the things that were important to me and my children, These men not only know their jobs, and do them extremely well, they are both peace bringing humans. They care about their clients and THAT IS RARE!!! Divorce is not easy......it's ugly and messy, but Max Factor Law does everything they can to ease the process for you. Call Ms. Sandie, she will be happy to help you and show you kindness. Many blessing as you go through this difficult time. SK

Outstanding, Professional and Highly Ethical
Max provided outstanding legal representation with my family law matter (divorce). I am actually an attorney (but do not practice in family law), and when I was a practicing attorney in the Midwest I had the opportunity to meet and work with dozens of lawyers. Max's reputation in the Tallahassee legal community is sterling and he is one of the most ethical and conscientious attorneys you will find. My case involved hundreds of pages of documents and actually proceeded to trial. Throughout the process, Max and his team (associate Eric Schab and Sandie Hobbs) organized all of the documents by detail and knew every document I produced as well as I did. Max and his team are thorough, precise with detail, effective in the courtroom and are always willing to answer any questions about the process. Max and his team responded to messages and questions promptly and his firm is a firm with exceptional service. If you have a family law matter in the Tallahassee area, please consider hiring this law firm. As an attorney, I have seen many attorneys in my lifetime, and Max is one of the very best!

Great divorce attorney
I started out crying at our first meeting regarding a divorce. I ended the process smiling. Max Factor and his team made a very stressful situation as easy as possible. I am grateful for not only their help but their support every step of the way. Thank you.

Very pleasant and professional
Max Factor and associates are very pleasant and professional. Mrs. Sandie Hobbs is so nice and helpful and Mr. Eric Schab is also very nice and professional. All associates are very willing to go that extra mile for the clients. Everything was straight forward and anything that was unclear for me was explained so there were no surprises during the entire divorce process. Mr. Factor told me that “fair is fair and we will not settle for anything less”, truly a man of his word. Mr. factor is definetly the man for the job and I will obtain his services in the future if need be. Thank you to all at Max Factor Law.

My situation was very dire. I had spoke to a few attorney's and they all stated there was no hope for my case and then I met with Mr. Factor. He was the silver lining in the cloud. He reviewed my case and went to work. His office staff is top notch and very professional. Mr. Factor was very thorough and gave me straight answers. He explained the process each and every step of the way. By the end of my case, he had successfully resolved it and all parties were happy. Would highly recommend Mr. Factor to anyone needing a divorce attorney.

Professional and Personal
Max Factor and his team are very professional individuals with immense amount of knowledge. But what sets Mr. Factor and his staff aside from the rest is how approachable they are. Mr. Factor is a very personable person that shows empathy for those going through hard times. He and his team made me feel like more than a client and that helped immensely throughout my process. He was always professional and well organized. His team were very quick to respond to any and all questions I had. Would recommend Mr. Factor to anyone and would most definitely contact again for any future concerns.

Outstanding Lawyer
I hired Mr. Factor after going through three different lawyers. He was the first attorney that I felt had my best interest in mind. He tells you the battles that are worth fighting over and which ones are trivial. He is straight forward with his answers that ultimately save you court costs and legal expenses. I would highly recommended to represent you in all family law matters.

Excellency in practice
I hired Mr. Factor to represent me in a divorce proceeding that was resolved without stepping into a courtroom. Mr. Factor was calm, collected and very knowledgeable in the matter. He is the "by the book" and "using the latest information" type. He was able to clarify many aspects of the divorce proceeding that I have question marks on. For example, he was able to tell me if I was going pay or be paid child support. He put me at ease as to how the assets and liabilities will be divided. He was ready to do exactly what I wanted and discouraged me from pursuing what was unreasonable. I am utterly satisfied with his service.
