Maxine Ho

I don't normally like to write about professionals because it's difficult to give an accurate assessment. However, I had a child custody issue and was searching the net for lawyers to talk to. I found Maxine and called her office. She picked up her own calls and was pleasant to speak to. She ta...lked to me for some time and answered all my questions. I informed her that I will keep her information and if my custody issue does not resolve I will call her. Long story short, I was not able to resolve the issue with the other party. I called Maxine back and retained her. She filed the necessary paperwork and also reached out to the opposing party. He didn't agree to my proposal. I didn't want to go to court knowing the possibility and costs associated with it. However, the other side didn't leave me with any choices. So, we went to court and Maxine fought hard. The judge at first didn't seem to favor our position but as the hearing went on, Maxine convinced the judge with her examination skills. The judge granted custody to me and ordered father to have parenting time per my request. I am so thankful for Maxine's hard work. She is very up front and will tell you things you don't want to hear but should hear. I hope that I don't have to return to court anytime soon, but if I do, I will be calling Maxine again.

“Maxine is the best…. she was there through one of the toughest time in my life. She is highly knowledgeable, highly experienced, genuine but best of all TOUGH in court. I’m a mother of 3 children thinking once a divorce was over so would all child custody issues. Due to other party I was surprise...d and taken to court. I was so stressed out when my previous attorney was no longer available, and Maxine took over my case and was ready to represent my case within a week! Maxine was indispensable in helping me through a difficult time. She was acutely aware of just how important my kids are to me, and she tailored her advice and strategy towards this goal. Going through a child custody battle was especially emotional for me and at the end children get affected with any changes in a home. I was trying to gain a footing in unfamiliar and challenging legal, financial, and societal situations. It was a physically and mentally draining experience. Maxine helped me focus on my children’s welfare, while working energetically towards all my goals. Maxine explained the process and developed a strategy that resulted in the best outcome possible. Maxine was especially helpful in coordinating communications, tracking deadlines, and organizing the extensive legal documents. Because of her hard work, I can now concentrate on spending time with my children, knowing that the settlement agreement provides a solid framework" Unfortunately I will probably will need to return to court due to others party noncompliance, but it helps to know I have Maxine in my corner!

I retained Maxine to help with my divorce and final judgment. Throughout the entire process, she and her staff were nothing short of professional, knowledgeable, and supportive. I had many questions regarding division of assets and child custody, and Maxine's expertise was clear from the beginning. S...he's tough and realistic; I knew she was always thinking and acting on my best interest and the welfare of my child. I really could not have asked for anything more. Divorce is never easy, and Maxine and her staff took a lot of stress off of me. The entire process could not have gone a better way.

Maxine was my representative. On day one I explained my child custody case. I was then given the specifics on possible agenda from opposing counsel; as well as possible outcomes. My anxiety was high needless to say. But knowing what to expect helped. Also, I could tell Maxine wanted to represent my i...nterest well - better then what I myself wanted to do; In short, Maxine was in my corner. The case was wrapped up as I hoped. But even before that happened - I was ready and willing to take the gloves off; given I felt I was well represented. I hope legal issues are behind me; but should they come back - I will definitely lookup Maxine again.
