Friendly Divorce Attorney in St. Paul, Minnesota

Allison and Shannon were there for me every step of the way through my divorce. I appreciate their guidance throughout the whole process. They always got back to me quickly on all matters of my divorce, always listened to my requests, and most of all remembered all details of particular case. They were very smart in handling my case and I could not have asked for a better outcome. I appreciate their honesty in all matters and knew that all my divorce bills were effectively and efficiently used. I can’t thank Allison and Shannon enough for all they have done for me in completing my very difficult divorce that went through a trial (involving a very difficult ex, children, and multiple assets).

Allison, I want to thank you for all you have done for me. It's awesome to know that you can have someone who is straight forward with advice and opinions. I have and would recommend you to anyone. Thank you.

Maxim Smith is an excellent and thorough family law firm. Allison and her staff have helped me on some very difficult issues. I contacted several other family law attorneys, Allison is the only one who would take on my extreme case. Allison holds a down-to-business, matter-of-fact, no-nonsense approach. I highly recommend Allison Maxim as your divorce/family law attorney. You want Allison in your corner.

I would highly recommend Allison. Both Allison and Shannon were very responsive to my needs. Allison explained every step of the process so I could clearly understand the legal complexities of going through a divorce. Most importantly, I actually felt like Allison cared about me and my individual case. Allison's and Shannon's responsiveness, care and concern helped to reduce the stress of a very difficult time. Allison was recommended by an associate after my previous attorney was not responsive, did not simplify the legal process of divorce and seemed most interested in the financial gain of handling my case. I was glad I made the switch. I have and will continue to recommend Allison to family, friends and anyone else seeking legal representation.

Maxim Smith is the best Attorney that you will need. She fights for her clients/dads. She brought light to what was fair and equal. She was very fast at getting the paper work together and filed with the courts. Her law-firm returned your calls right away. She fought for what was right for the child. Our case was complicated. She fought for dads to have rights too. She had a court hearing within 2 weeks, won temporary custody. With in two months we won full custody and the case is closed. Her price is fair. We would not have won with out her and her team. We will always be thankful that we found them. We will defiantly use them again if we need too! Thank you Allison!

Early in the process of my divorce it became apparent that my lawyer of choice was not competent or caring. Through an acquaintance, Allison was then recommended as someone with superior skills, understanding, and one that would ensure the best outcome for me. Thankfully I took her advice and switched my representation to Allison. By far, the best decision I made through the painful process of divorce was making that switch!

Allison was simply fabulous to work with! Her guidance, strategy, and management of the legal process was outstanding and it led to an outcome that I can feel good about for the rest of my life. She always exhibited an understanding of the anxiety, stress, and depression that can accompany dissolution. And furthermore, and most importantly, she truly represented MY best interests. Yes, she was a fantastic legal representative, but she also was a support mechanism. Kudos to anyone that decides to use Allison's services...you will not be disappointed.

Allison and her team were incredibly responsive and helped me through a difficult situation. Every situation is different, but for my divorce, I was very happy with their services from the warm feelings I got with in office meetings, very quick response time, and overall professionalism. I would recommend their services to friends and family.

Allison Maxim is an exceptional family law attorney. Our case was an extremely difficult and complicated situation. Due to the tenacity and financial backing of our opponent, our case included several court dates with several different presiding judges, referees and mediators. Also, over the course of the case, there were four different opposing attorneys. Throughout the entire process, Ms. Maxim's legal advice, knowledge of the law, wisdom concerning the presiding judges or referees or mediators, insight into the various opposing attorneys was excellent and correct. She was also superb in understanding the intricacies of our case and concerns on all levels. We highly recommend the firm of Maxim Smith.

I am very grateful for Allison's services representing me as a professional lawyer. Sounds cliché, but absolutely every single cent spent on my case, was worth it. In the end, I received everything I could've asked for, which in fact, I did ask for! Allison's advice inside as well as outside of the courtroom was taken very seriously and graciously. If I ever need lawyer services again, I will surely contact Allison as I feel she is superbly knowledgeable regarding the painful topic of divorce/child custody.

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 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.
