Genuine in her feedback and very good in communication

Victoria Maxwell listened intently to my specific situation and shared with me her point of view as to what I should be doing. She did not have expertise in the area I was seeking help. She gave me reference as to who I need to talk to. She returned my two calls and I had a very good experience in te...rms of communication.

Posted by Carrie | March 28, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Real Estate

Very thorough, knowledgeable and easy going

Victoria Maxwell got me through a VERY difficult short sale process by being very encouraging, proactive, and efficient. She gave me peace of mind as I went through an extremely stressful process where the banks involved did the exact opposite! I wouldn't have gotten through it without her services!

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Attorneys are supposed to be smart and knowledgeable, of course. But Victoria is ridiculously smart and knowledgeable. But it gets even better than that. The thing she is first is personable, easy to talk to. Very Sonoma County. I just referred a client to her for a real estate issue, and I did so unhesitatingly."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
