Attorney

E David ("Dave") Maxwell is an excellent attorney who has helped me with my personal injury case and has also assisted me and my family with a multitude of other legal matters over many years. He is always very caring, attentive and knowledgeable. He is a professional and personable attorney who I de...finitely recommend to those who wish to be served.

Mr. Maxwell and Crew Provide Maximum Attention

My wife and I have been trying to make ends meet for the past eight years, following an automotive accident that left me a T-5 paraplegic, paralyzed from the chest down. Throughout that time we have been surviving solely on my wife's income and my disability, which equals roughly a third of my form...er income. Our financial situation finally reached critical mass, and something had to be done. I found Mr. Maxwell's firm using a local search on the internet, and chose him from amongst many others based largely on his profile and former JAG experience. We couldn't be more pleased to have made that decision. He, and his assistant Jennifer, have streamlined and simplified the process for those seeking bankruptcy, and Jennifer is always just an email away when questions need answering, and those answers are never more than a day away. Mr. Maxwell and his firm have made certain that we've received every possible benefit, when available, throughout the Chapter 7 process...keeping any potential misfortune to an absolute minimum. Our recent "341" meeting with the creditors was a most pleasant surprise, lasting a total, not including wait time, of about 3 minutes with the Trustee being the only one present. Mr. Maxwell met with us briefly following the meeting to reassure us that everything was accounted for and to suggest that we schedule a meeting at his office to touch on a couple more issues before all gets wrapped up. Overall, it has been money well spent, and what we initially feared to be a difficult and trying process has proven utterly painless. Thank you Mr. Maxwell, and thank you Jennifer.
