Mr Hills is one of a kind! He provided professional service with full knowledge of family law in my difficult case. I truly felt that Max's goal was to resolve the matter quickly because he cared about what was right. He was straight forward and due to his thorough knowledge about the specifics of our case, he was able to respond quickly in the courtroom. In my eyes, there is no one better to handle a Family Law Matter than Max Hills!

I can’t express how thankful I am to have Mr. Hills as my lawyer. Going through a divorce was an extremely stressful time for me, but Max was there for me every step of the way. Always took my phone calls and explained each step of the process. I could not have done it without him. He’s an excellent Lawyer and truly cares about his clients. To all who is looking for a good HONEST lawyer he is the the one you're looking for...

Excellent Service
Mr. Hills was amazing in helping me through a family situation that needed an immediate response. He contacted the necessary agencies and completed the paperwork in the time i needed to have them. Family issues are difficult in themselves so his availability, patience and understanding gave me the peace I needed to avoid a very difficult circumstance. I highly recommend Mr. Hils services.

Though a clear expert in the segment of divorce law, Max helped a business partner and I as a legal consultant on a number of occasions. His constant professionalism and grasp of the legal landscape has proven quite valuable over time. I would highly recommend his services.

Law Advice from Maxwell Hills
I had the fortune of having Maxwell Hills consult with me regarding several legal issues that I have had. He was very pragmatic in how he approached the issues yet empathetic so I knew he cared. I have dealt with several attorneys and they came across as cold but NOT Maxwell. I felt as if he put himself in my shoes to really understand where I was coming from so he could best help me. I've been known to be a risk taker and Max was really good at putting things into perspective. It was obvious he only wanted the best for me and attempted to mitigate all risk. I have and will continue to recommend Maxwell to anyone I know. He has been an absolute pleasure to work with and brings great expertise to the table.
