Verified ClientHired Law firm 2024Thank you, Max , for going above and beyond. Your knowledge and skill helped quickly correct an unjust situation and was a tremendous amount of relief in a very emotional and personal case. It felt as if it was your own personal battle and you helped give us back hope that there is some good and justice when we needed it most. You were suggested by someone very important to me . Your compassion and care about helping others along with doing the right thing and in a very direct and professional manner was so evident in the way you handled things. I feel very grateful to have met you. Thank you also for the advice on what's next and for answering questions and giving direction on the issues that were outside of the specific reason for needing your help. I would absolutely recommend you in a heartbeat. Thank you so very much!

Verified ClientHired Law firm 2023-2024Max Shek has been my lawyer for exactly one year now. I don't know how I get through the last year of my life without Max Shek. He knew how to build the perfect strategy to get what I deserved, with as little time away from my day to day as possible, for a great rate. He guided me in every step of the way, and steered me appropriately when my emotions got the better of my judgement. He knows how to work the courtroom, and areas outside the courtroom to get the justice you deserve. Hire him, listen to him, and get your reward.

Verified ClientHired Law firm 2024-2025I felt a range of emotions when I was slapped with an HRO (Harassment Restraining Order) that should never have been brought against me in the first place. Maxwell Shek was very empathetic and worked with me through every step of the process to reach a private settlement with the other party in lieu of the HRO that was more lenient. He charges a flat fee, which is really nice because I don't have to worry about exceeding the retainer. I would recommend Maxwell to others who are dealing with an unfair HRO.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
