Rating: 10 Lawyer Rating - 10 out of 10
For the reasons mentioned above. In addition, he has no qualms about seeking out advice in areas in which he may have doubts and listens to the advice he is given. HE is truly one of the unsung heroes in Connecticut in the practice of law.
Client Reviews
Monica B. January 18, 2020
August 2019 Car Crash After a hummer sped through a stop sign hitting me in August 2019, my husband insisted that we go to an attorney, along with getting medical treatment. I was unaware of how much medical treatment I was to need, with a car totaled, a concussion and neck injury. Max and his firm, helped direct me to the appropriate doctors for evaluation, along with handling the legal issues. They are always curious and give updates as things have progressed, knowing that it is a frustrating process sometimes for those of us going through the system. They have explained every step and what to expect along the way, for which I am grateful. We have not finished but I am so glad that we engaged Max and his team. I could not recommend anyone more.

He makes you feel comfortable I was unsure if I wanted to move forward and if it was best for me. Max listened to my situation, provided me my options, and then gave me his opinion. The process was very easy and smooth. Max is there for you the entire way and keeps very good communication throughout. My entire process was over within a month. Quick, easy, confidential.

Legal Answers
64 Questions Answered
Q. So I work at Subway, and have been accused of stealing meat from the store. All around the store, they are cameras.
A: I am not sure what the question is. Are they charging you criminally? Did you lose your job? Does or will the camera footage show any theft? Good luck.
Q. Can a landlord tell a renter that they have 30 days to leave the house they've been in for 12 years. What can we do?
A: Yes. This is something that happens depending on whether you are month to month tenants or under a lease. You would be well advised to consult with a housing attorney and explore your options as soon as possible. You have rights that might be wasted if you wait too long. Good luck.
Q. My sister Is filing bankruptcy on a a mortgage she took out against my mothers home. Can the rest of here debts come out
A: Absolutely! Your mother needs her own attorney, particularly because of the funny business regarding the mortgage. Make sure she gets an experienced bankruptcy attorney to explain everything to her. Good luck.
