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.

I was picked up by the police on a bogus drug case. They had no right to stop or search me, and no proof that the cannabis found in my car belonged to me and not one of my passenger's - coworkers I was driving home. The police charged me anyway. They laughed and joked all the way to the station. I was referred to Shannon by a family friend. Not only did he have a plan, he executed it perfectly and exposed the cops who busted me as the unlawful knuckleheads that they were. The judge chewed them out right there in the court! It was great, and oh so satisfying. Charges were dropped, of course.

I was on my 2 attorney who basically just took my money and got continuances. Then when it came time for trial he told me to plead guilty after telling me for months we were going to win. I got Shannon's name from a a guy in court. In the first meeting he explained more to me than both of my other attorneys had all that time. He told me the truth about everything and we went to trial and I was not guilty of everything! I could have spent at least 6 years in prison, what my second attorney wanted to accept!! I hope I don't have to hire Shannon again, but I'm telling everyone to hire him.

Helped my family out. Greatly appreaciated!
