Maxim Lissak

We had an expensive jewelry theft from a hotel room in Hong Kong. Police did a full inspection with at-home interviews for suspects. The hotel admitted responsibility. Then the hotel passed the matter to their insurer, and the insurance company's loss adjuster offered a depreciated value against the ...jewelry. The necklace was still available online and had appreciated in value, not depreciated. The loss adjuster would not budge, so we engaged Maxim to help us with litigation. While Maxim doesn't practice law in Hong Kong, he was able to draft a letter that was powerful, well-worded, clear in terms of the only outcome we were looking for, and explained that if they didn't deal with this now then we would be handing over to a Hong Kong legal team that Maxim was recommending where further costs would be incurred on their behalf. After one letter the insurer caved and gave us the full *appreciated* amount for the necklace so we could repurchase it. Maxim was a joy to work with, taking the entire process on, and working directly on our behalf. Maxim will be my go-to person for all our legal needs from now on due to his expertise, customer service, and thoughtfulness. I can't recommend him highly enough.

I had a really hard time recovering my earnest money from the sellers after i exited a deal. I contacted Max and he got involved immediately and explained clearly all aspects of the case and advised our best course of action. Max is very knowledgeable and worked very hard and got the sellers to compl...y to all contractual terms and got the entire amount released! i am very pleased with Max's work and definitely recommend his service!

A contractor caused several thousand-dollar’s worth of damages while working on my house by not following the design submitted with the city. Maxim provided valuable guidance as we tried to negotiate a resolution. He provided tough but amicable advocacy in my behalf throughout the process. In the ...end, the contractor agreed that the fault was with his company and reimbursed us fully for repairs. Highly recommended!
