Maxine is a great lawyer. My ex and I went through a contentious divorce (a divorce I didn't want) throughout 2022. Maxine was my protector, my confidant, my therapist and my attorney. It was the most difficult year of my life and she was there for me at every turn, providing expert legal advice. I recommend her without hesitation.

Great attorney. I could have never done my divorce with so ease without Maxine and team. They were always there to listen and support me. Helped me lot through the process. Thank you so much for all the help.

I would be given Maxine 10 stars if I could. She took care of my divorce case in a timely and effective manner that eases my stress. Got my divorce decree within 3 months and no alimony fee paid to my unemployed ex. Maxine and her team is the best divorce lawyer in Chicago! A

By working with Maxine, I was provided with knowledgeable and forthright explanations. With clearer understanding, I was able to make informed decisions. These decisions were transparently and firmly implemented to the fullest extent possible.

Maxine Weiss Kunz is a wonderful attorney; communicative with a great command for the subject matter and law thereof. She is always available and responds expeditiously to communications. I was appointed by the Court as a Guardian Ad Litem on one of Maxine's cases. Thank you Maxine. You helped me to do my job expeditiously, thoroughly and in the best interest of the minor child.

This law firm is very professional, organized, and all around amazing. I was in a very frantic state when I had to hire this firm. I heard of this law firm from by referral from another well-respected Chicago attorney who Maxine worked with in the past. Although my marriage was short, I knew that my divorce was going to be an ugly one due to extreme financial circumstance, I put my trust into Maxine and the associates she put on the case and I was not let down. Maxine also has a background in Psych (was a psych major in college) which came in handy a lot particularly in my divorce. Throughout the entire process the communication was excellent. Whenever I emailed them, I always got a response within hours but always by the end of the day at the latest. Any communication I received was always thorough and well-explained, as sometimes legal jargon can be difficult for the lay person to understand. The pricing structure is very straight forward and the bills that I received were very descriptive so that there were no questions as to what the costs came from. Phone calls and emails were sufficiently explanatory yet concise which keeps things more cost-effective. (I’ve known other attorneys who liked to talk themselves in circles on phone calls, ringing up the minutes/the bill). This is firm is realistic and they tell you how it is, which I have come to realize can be a unique and important attribute when looking to hire a divorce attorney! GREAT firm that I would highly recommend!

Maxine was an exceptional and compassionate listener. She listened very carefully and attentively and I felt she really heard and understood me. It was clear that her goal was to develop a comprehension understanding of the details of my situation and my thoughts, concerns, and feeling that were impacting the situation. I found Maxine to be very giving of her time and herself, very caring, and calming. In my opinion, these are excellent attributes for an attorney to have.

After I found out my husband was cheating on me I was in shock. Days later my shock turned to total loss of control and fear when he changed the locks on our home and took all the money our of our joint account. I called around to several law firms in a complete panic. I spoke to Maxine over the phone and immediately I felt at ease and comfortable with her. She made time to see me right away and after our consultation I was 100% sure she was the right choice to represent me in my divorce. She listened to my concerns and fears and she helped guide me through a scary process. The kindness, professionalism, and hard work they put in to get my divorced resolved in 3 months and my belongings and funds immediately back has left me feeling more optimistic than I could have ever thought possible. I cannot say enough how much respect and admiration I have for Maxine, Gabrielle, and everyone else at the law firm. They fought for me, made decisions that were right for me, and were there for me from beginning to end. I owe them endless gratitude.

Working with Maxine and her team really made this process easy. WKO was always available to answer calls, and emails. I appreciated that they were very thorough in the marital agreement and looked out for the best interest of her client.

Maxine and her team worked on my complex case for a good year and a half. During that time they were professional, compassionate, always responsive to emails and calls, and worked their hardest for the best result possible. Definitely would recommend.

Maxine made my prenup review and signing a breeze! She walked me through and explained everything thoroughly to make sure I understood each and every word. In our initial conversation she told me that her main goal was to get me married which I appreciated. I didn't want this situation to be a stressful battle and she made sure that did not happen meanwhile looking out for my best interests. I appreciated all of her input and that she respected my decisions even if she didn't 100% agree. She was incredibly responsive and a pleasure to work with. I would absolutely recommend Maxine!

Maxine was very thorough and efficient in writing the prenuptial agreement. She got it done quickly and always replied to my emails or phone calls immediately when I had a question. I would recommend her to anyone.
