Maxine and her team is extremely kind and caring, professional and effective. I got my divorce case finalized within 3 months. Attorney fee is very fair and I love working with Maxine!

I myself am an attorney, though I don't practice family law. Still, I know good attorneys (and bad ones) when I see them. When I needed to file for divorce, WKO was the firm I went to, and I could not have been happier with their services. The attorneys here are extremely knowledgeable, professional, and really make sure that their client’s interests are being fought for and advanced. At the same time, they are friendly and sympathetic with their clients, they really understand the psychological and emotional impact that a divorce has on someone, and their bedside manner reflects this. I felt confident and comforted throughout one of the most notoriously stressful and unpleasant ordeals that a person can go through. I cannot recommend WKO highly enough.

Professional and very easy to work with!

They say “you get what you pay for” but you can’t put a price on family. WKO’s practice is built on integrity. Expect knowledgeable and forthright explanation and firm representation. *note: spammer’s comment is copy-and-pasted to another law practice’s review-page as well. Disregard.

Beware of this attorney. Within one month of hiring Maxine for my divorce and child custody case, she used up 80% of my retainer fee for some or other unnecessary reason and included her assistant Meghan Troc to work on my case side by side. Meghan Troc is so unprofessional that she use to shout at me and behave so rudely with me on my case details as if she is doing me a favor by working on my case and as if she is working free of cost for me. Maxine and Meghan shared my confidential details to the opposite counsel for their own benefits. She did not put across any of the valid points infront of the judge even though we had discussed before the start of court hearing which shows her poor argument quality and because of which the decision was not in my favor for that particular hearing. Maxine and Meghan are both so manipulative that they forced me to start the parenting time (which was ordered by Judge) 2 days before the order was entered. They both used to scare and threaten me of the consequences even though I followed each and every court order correctly and everytime supported the opposite counsel instructions for their own benefits. She is money minded and never bothers about her client trust and emotions. I could not see any zero star option, so I am forced to give one star otherwise she does not deserve to get one start also. Always I had to argue with them for the unnecessary charges in my billing statement. This firm is so irresponsible that they do not bother to update you on your case matter or if there has been any order passed by the judge. Initially they would make several false promises to you to get themselves hired but once they are hired, they are least bothered about their clients needs.

This was my second time working with Amanda Oliver and her associate Brad. Firstly, she did a great job years ago helping me gain control of my son’s college fund from my difficult ex-husband. Secondly, this time, a much happier time, she worked out a pre-nuptial agreement that protected both myself, my new husband, and the 3 children we have together. Her work and her associate Brad’s work was completely thorough and speedy, and the communication was excellent all the way through. I also feels she’s a strong champion for women and is highly honest, ethical, and brilliant. I’ve referred many friends to her, and they are ALL happy and satisfied. Additionally, her fees are very reasonable and straightforward.

Amanda Oliver is an incredible woman. She is clearly a leader in her firm and everyone else lines up under her excellence. Her bedside manner is friendly and outgoing and this is someone you would have a cup of coffee with. The motives of her heart are compassionate and she handles difficult situations with wisdom, experience and class. I have had the pleasure of working with several attorneys under her as I had a high conflict and difficult case. I always felt respected and that my painful situation would be resolved. I was not a number and I did not feel judged as I was taking apart my life piece by piece in summing up my life experiences in credits of alimony.  All of her support staff is competent. She has lovely receptionists that are kind and considerate when taking payments. The paralegals and assistants email documents quickly. Everyone is part of the process and you can tell that there is good communication and no one drops the ball. If you are just starting a process and don't know where to begin, schedule a consultation appointment today. I would have shaved off years, saved thousands of dollars and unnecessary pain if I had contacted them first. The consultation fee will save you in the long run.

I hired Amanda when I filed. I went into the divorce very naive, believing my ex and I both had the best intentions in mind. Amanda was very respectful of this, and did as I asked - a simple divorce. I believed the divorce would be done in 6 months. Thankfully she was smart enough to set a future trial date, because I would probably still be in litigation if she hadn't. She did not want legal/court fees to carry on and on with a difficult spouse. (She saw the red flags when I did not.) Amanda is very kind and understanding. She will do what her client feels is best, she always wants what is best for the family, as does her entire firm at Weiss-Kunz-Oliver. But if the tables turn, she will go to bat for her client. I felt like a wounded deer in a pack of wolves, and she came in like a mama bear. The entire office at WKO is very honest and open. They consistently update with legal fees, and what fees for subpoenas would be so that their clients are never blind-sided with legal fees. I owe a lot of gratitude to Amanda and the entire staff at WKO - This is this law firm you want to represent yourself and your family.

She quickly contacted me, succinctly gathered details about my situation, and clearly explained my options and answers to my questions. Very friendly when I contacted her via email, phone, and in person. Most importantly, she identified ways in which I can save money and protect myself from future legal problems. I'm grateful that I had such a positive experience!

Amanda was great from the very first contact I had with her. She was very understanding and empathetic of my situation. She helped me expedite my divorce as much as possible and was accessible to me whenever I had questions. Her support team was great as well; very friendly and knowledgeable.

I was referred to Amanda after months of frustration trying to enforce my divorce judgement pro se. She is responsive, a great listener, compassionate, and, most importantly, knows the law. My post decree issues were challenging, and she helped me realign my focus and expectations based on what was most important to me. Amanda stopped my ex-husband's bullying tactics with professionalism, while being mindful of my budget. My only wish was that I knew her when I initially asked for the divorce. I would not hesitate to refer her to anyone who would surely benefit from her expertise.

amanda helped me with custody of my son. her ability to keep me focused on honest legal advise and not what i wanted to hear is a major plus. she is constantly fair about what your options are as her client and your position. she is assertive with both her stances with you & the other party. you'll never doubt that she is your advocate in a court of law working for what is best for your case.
