To whomever is looking for family law representation: I am EXTREMELY pleased with the results of my case. Allison Maxim truly represented me and fought for me. She listened to my story, was honest about where she thought the case would go, did the necessary homework before the case was brought to the judge, was professional and calm at all times (which comes across very well in the courtroom and makes you, the client, look good), and was knowledgeable and always very responsive to my questions. Additionally, she always thoroughly followed up with me, followed through with what she said she would do, fact-checked before submitting any documents on my behalf, and never left me hanging with any part of my case. Although Ms. Maxim does have a team that she works with, she always personally communicated with me instead of delegating it to her team. In fact, I feel that I was not charged enough for the work she did on my behalf. I am fortunate to have found Ms. Maxim and her law firm; I recommend her to you with all sincerity. If I ever need family law services again in the future, Ms. Maxim is my ONLY choice of attorney.

Allison is there for her clients 100%. From the beginning she listened to all of our concerns, she was fast, and professional. She fought for dads rights and won! She is fare on price. We can never be more thankful that we found her. We would definitely use her again, if we need to. Our case was final with in 4 months! We had everything we asked approved. We could not have won this case without Allison. Thank you!

Maxim Law is best-in-class. An unresponsive initial attorney prompted me to switch firms, and I couldn’t have been happier that I did. Over the course of what proved to be too many months, Allison’s guidance was crucial to ensuring that I made the right decisions to move my case forward. She was an advocate, a confidante, and a true partner in bringing my case from messy to mission accomplished. My situation was complicated because I live overseas and had to develop an unusual custody arrangement, but I would also recommend Maxim Law on more straight-forward cases.

I contacted the Maxim law firm because I was going through some legal problems (family matters) that I could not handle. At this point, I have been to the courts multiple times with no clear understanding. Allison and her staff were very knowledgeable about my case and they helped me settled my case. I am so please with the level of professionalism that they exhibited. Plus, they are some of the honest law people I have encounter. I will recommend my friends and family and anyone who is struggling with legal matters within the family courts, to talk to them first.

I trust Allison to give me good advice and I like the relaxed atmosphere working with her. In my particular situation I believe a heavier hand would have been more beneficial. But I also think that my particular situation is a rare one. I believe everything she did for me would have been perfect the vast majority of the time. She gave me the advice and guidance I probably would have given myself had I been in her position,

I was referred to Allison for my case, and my experience could not have been better. She was an excellent guide through an emotional and complicated matter, and all of our communication was handled in a very clear and timely manner.

I was referred to Allison by a friend who worked with her. I am so happy I decided to hire her. She was quick to respond to all my questions. She looked out for my best interests and recommended stuff that I didn't even know I was entitled too. She helped me reach an amicable divorce settlement. She is also very upfront with her fees and her rates are reasonable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a lawyer of the highest integrity.

I would recommend Allison without reserve to anyone needing a divorce attorney. From our very first meeting, it was obvious that Allison was extremely knowledgeable, an excellent listener, and someone who would help me navigate a situation in which I had never imagined myself. I came with many questions, and she helpfully and continually walked me through what the process would look like, always in a kind and understanding manner. My case involved custody issues, division of property, and spousal maintenance, and in a situation that was often acrimonious and emotional, Allison was calm, reassuring, and supportive. At the same time, she was a fierce advocate for me, firmly and assertively fighting for what she felt to to be fair and right. In a situation like divorce, I have learned that you just don't know what you don't know. I trust Allison implicitly to know- the law, the facts of my case, and what will be best for me and my kids. I truly can't imagine having gone through this with anyone else.

I'm glad to say, I could not be more pleased with the professionalism, thorough and good organization of Allison while representing me with my divorce. After the initial meeting, I really felt she was who I wanted representing me, now I couldn't be more pleased with my decision. I felt her communication was very professional, but down the earth at the same time. If there was a concern I addressed that she did not have a clear answer, she used her resources to give me the right information. She did not miss a beat in getting all the details in order and finalizing my divorce efficiently. I will be happy you recommend her to friends and family!

I'm glad to say, I could not be more pleased with the professionalism, thorough and good organization of Allison while representing me with my divorce. I had set up a initial consult meeting with Allison when I was searching for a lawyer to represent me, then I read of an issue of Allison being reprimanded apparently for an action ( she actually reported herself to the Office of Lawyers Professional Responsibility). Whatever the case was, I understand we're all human, mistakes happen and I decided to proceed with our first meeting. After the initial meeting , I really felt she was who I wanted representing me, now I couldn't be more pleased with my decision. I felt her communication was very professional, but down the earth at the same time. If there was a concern I address that she did not have a clear answer, she used her resources to give me the right information. She did not miss a beat in getting all the details in order and finalizing my divorce efficiently. I will be happy you recommend her to friends and family!

Allison Maxim has been representing me the past three years in child custody matters. My case is complicated and complex. Allison's compassion for looking out for the best interest of a minor with special needs is reassuring. In an emergency situation she was available to guide me through some very sensitive issues from a perspective of a legal stance and from one parent to another. Allison was my stability and voice of reason when all the crazy broke loose, she will always hold a special spot in my heart for all she did for me and my family. Words can never adequately express my gratitude. If you are looking for a calm, respectable, knowledgeable, well seasoned lawyer I highly recommend Allison Maxim.

Allison was my fourth family law attorney in six years. She was the light at the end of a long tunnel that I thought would never end. When Allison and I started this journey together I didn't have either physical or legal custody rights to my daughter. By our last court date I had FULL physical and legal custody of my daughter and she was a full time part of my life. Allison even came to my house on a beautiful Saturday afternoon to finish a report that had to be delivered Monday morning to the courts. Allison took years’ worth of legal paperwork and he said, she said nonsense and was able to articulate it into a narrative that the judge could really see\find the truth. Family law is a very difficult and costly endeavor that I am sure anyone who is reading this is fully aware. Take a deep breath and relax and let Allison lead you through the thorny path and turbulent water to a conclusion that will benefit you and your children.
