Max and her team were helpful and responsive, quickly answered my questions and supported my case. They are knowledge, friendly and a great resource for families seeking legal help.

I highly recommend this family law firm. Max and her staff are incredibly professional, friendly, courteous, and prompt. When it came to my divorce, I had absolutely nothing to worry about. Let's face it: divorce is not an easy process. However, I was fortunate to have Max and her team on my side, handling everything related to my divorce.

I was very happy to get Max law firm to represent me as a client. I highly recommend anyone who needs divorce lawyer to contact Max Ruthenberg-Marshall for help.

I would recommend Max and her team and I am thankful. Max is very astute and I got the impression that she had a firm grasp the nuances of my case. She advocated for me and I think that resulted in the best possible result, given the potential complexity. I really appreciated the effort that went into the preparatory videos that she recorded and the communication system. I also was grateful for the transparency of the charging structure. That alleviated a significant amount of stress from the process.

Max and the team at Porchlight Law were lovely to work with! I highly recommend their practice for anyone looking for affirming services and support with navigating the prenuptial process.

I am very very pleased with the experience I had with both Max and Grace at Porchlight! I was completely clueless on how to file for my divorce and Max took the time to explain the whole process to me, when documents were sent, she also sent a video with an explanation of what the documents mean so I knew exactly what I was reading and signing. If I ever sent a message, Grace always responded within the same day. I was also very pleased with the price! I paid one flat fee which was very very reasonable and I was never surprised with additional charges later. Getting a divorce is an emotionally hard thing to go through and I was very grateful to have both Max and Grace helping me through the whole process and making a difficult situation easier. I highly recommend Porchlight to anyone needing to go through this process as well!

Max and team was thorough, kind, and compassionate through the entire process.

We have used Max as our adoption attorney for all three of our adoptions. We used her in 2020 and again in 2023. Max is patient and walked us through each step of the adoption process. She communicates well and makes sure we knew everything to expect in advance. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to move forward with an adoption.

Max and her team are very responsive, knowledgeable and professional. I came to her on a recommendation from the Georgia BAR for help with developing a simple and loving Pre-Nuptial agreement for my wife and I during our engagement. She made sure to listen to our life experiences and helped us to develop a loving and complete pre-nup that addressed our concerns and helped us to ensure that our document would not become some over-bearing and marriage estranging document. The advice and thoughtfulness put into the document during the writing process actually strengthened my partner's and I's relationship! My wife and I are very happy with the results and her team's novel and financially non-straining (as so many lawyer can be) packages helped us develop our "insurance policy" if anything ever was to go wrong. I was nervous going into this process that that we would find the opposite of what we wanted but instead Max nearly echoed our sentiments of: We don't expect to need a divorce however we would like to define the rules of such an event while we love each other and have each-others best interests at heart. To Max and Team: Thank you for all of your hard work, my wife and I are now very happily married! The understanding you brought to our 5+ year realtionship before this point has helped our bonds grow stronger!

I discovered Porchlight Law when I came across Max's youtube videos on amicable divorce. "Divorce doesn't have to be filled with fighting and trauma." Max and her team helped us navigate a scary process with communication, good will and respect. I appreciated her custom flat fee and she connected us with other members of the Amicable Divorce Network, including a mediator and financial settlement professional. I felt supported and encouraged the whole way!

The team at Porchlight are professional, polite and are great communicators. They made one of the most difficult experiences of my life manageable. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs family law help.

From my very first meeting with Max I knew I was in excellent hands. Her desire to keep cases as low-conflict as possible is apparent from the start and is what drew me to her firm. Even when my case couldn't be settled out of court, I always felt that Max had my best interest at heart. She sees the details clearly and gives impeccable advice at every turn. Like many others have said, her communication is excellent. She makes crystal clear all of the often intimidating, complicated processes, and is willing to answer all of your questions. Nobody wants their divorce to drag out for two years, but when ours did Max's attention never flagged. I felt supported every step of the way. There are bigger things to worry about - your lawyer shouldn't be one of them! I would strongly recommend Porchlight to anyone.
