Money hungry

It's all about the money. I paid him thousands of dollars to represent me and every time I saw him it was another 4,000 dollars. The divorce went on for 7 years in court. He had no records of my payments which were always paid in cash. I was rendered homeless with 3 children and he and his son got... brand new BMWs.

My Divorce

My divorce was very complicated. I had never been through a divorce trial before. This entire process was scary for me, to say the least. Thank God I had Bob Maxwell as my attorney! He very patiently walked me through the entire process, calmed my nerves and took the time to listen to my concer...ns. He's very empathetic and continually assured me that he would see me through to the end, giving me his assurance that he would do everything in his power to see that I got a fair hearing. He gave 110% to my case. What more could a person ask for? I highly recommend Bob Maxwell to anyone seeking a divorce attorney.

Many Thanks Mr. Maxwell

It is difficult to find the right words to express my many thanks to Mr. Maxwell and his wonderful staff. In our first consultation I knew immediately that I had found the right man for the job. I mentally hired him within the first 5 minutes. After speaking with him further I hired him without hesit...ation. Mr Maxwell listened to my case with great attentiveness. He gave his full attention and listened to every word I said. After much discussion I left feeling as if the world had been lifted from my shoulders. He is very direct, extremely professional, awesome communicator, which is, by far, the most important thing for me personally, and he is very knowledgeable in Family Law. He explained child custody laws and how they applied to my case very clearly and answered every question I had. His kind demeanor put me at ease during a very difficult time. Moving forward Mr. Maxwell wasted no time in responding to the court papers I was served regarding my child custody case. He and his staff were very dedicated and meticulous when it came to responding appropriately and in a timely manner. I am happy to say that shortly after Mr. Maxwell filed his/our response, the opposing attorney realized they were dealing with a professional attorney who knew the law, and quickly settled my case without even going to court. I can only give testimony for my experience but, have no doubt that Mr. Maxwell will give 100% to any case you may have. Why worry yourself sick over legality issues. Talk to Mr. Maxwell. Lets face it, if your not an attorney you need someone like him who understands the laws and everything that can help or hurt your case. Aside from being a great attorney he is a great guy. I would absolutely recommend Mr. Maxwell to anyone in need of a good, hard working family law attorney. Thanks again to you Mr. Maxwell and all of your wonderful staff. YOU ROCK !

Great Work Mr Maxwell!

Mr. Maxwell represented me in a custody case for my daughter, and thanks in large part to him, my daughter is now living with me full time. He was very thorough, responded to all declarations from the other party in a timely fashion, and did not miss any opportunities to state our case in a clear, co...ncise manner. His arguments in the court room were excellent and I believe were a big key to our success. In addition, he took on my case and was ready to go to an emergency hearing in a matter of a couple of hours. If you're in need of legal help, Mr Maxwell is a great choice.

Sooo grateful for him!

Mr. Maxwell was abounding in compassion and sensitivity during my custody hearing. His skill and expertise helped reassure me during the challenge of mediation and an evidentiary hearing. I would recommend him to ANYONE looking for wise counsel in their divorce and custody proceedings.
