Maxwell Law practices in both Washington and Oregon with a focus in the areas below. This is just a general guide to the services we offer, so if you don't see what you're looking for, please call and we can discuss your particular matter.

CIVIL LITIGATION

From creditor-debtor suits to complex commercial litigation cases, Maxwell Law has experience practicing before federal and state courts, private arbitration panels, and government agencies. If you're being sued or think you may need to sue someone, Maxwell Law can assist with your case and guide you through your full range of legal options.

CONTRACT AND LEASE DISPUTES

Maxwell Law can help you resolve disputes over contracts and leases. We have helped commercial landlords in disputes with their tenants who cannot or will not pay rent, utilizing notices to pay or vacate, unlawful detainer or reaching an out-of-court settlement of the dispute. We have also helped clients resolve disputes pertaining to business-to-business contracts, employment contracts, and other types of contracts or agreements, and reach resolution to their benefit.

CLIENT COLLECTIONS

Recover the money you are owed. Whether it's clients, former clients, vendors, or even customers who are refusing to pay their bills, Maxwell Law works closely with you to quickly collect outstanding invoices and debts or to enforce promissory notes. As a law firm, we often have resources the collection agencies don't. Our experience with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and plaintiff's collection can also help defend you against an unlawful collection action.

ENFORCEMENT OF JUDGMENTS

If your debtors are refusing to pay, even after a court has already entered a judgment, Maxwell Law can track down your debtors and execute judgments against their personal and real property. Whether the judgment was entered in Washington, Oregon, or another jurisdiction, we can utilize supplemental proceedings, garnishments, and other lawful enforcement mechanisms to get you what you're owed.

WILLS AND ESTATE PLANNING

Protect your family, your assets and your legacy. Maxwell Law helps you plan for end-of-life decisions. From wills and basic estate planning to modern health care directives, durable powers of attorney, and living wills we explain your options in plain language. Advance planning is especially important for same-sex couples, business owners and parents who wish to reduce stress on their families in case of serious illnesses, disability, or loss. Ensure that your wishes are carried out.
