Family Law Firm in Upstate New York
Did you hear the story about the lawyer who coached his child's sports team and sent out a practice schedule to the other parents on his law firm's office stationery? One of the parents told him that her heart went into her throat as soon as she saw the envelope.
This actually happened to attorney Paul Van Ryn at our firm. Many people are intimidated by attorneys and find going to a lawyer's office is about as comfortable as a trip to a dentist. You don't have to feel that way about Maxwell & Van Ryn.
We Want to Be Part of the Solution, Not the Problem
Many people are apprehensive about consulting a lawyer for several reasons:
- They are afraid it will cost them a fortune.
- They think the lawyer will take over and run rampant over them.
- They are afraid of making a terrible decision in choosing the wrong lawyer.
We understand the difficulty of choosing the right lawyer. At Maxwell & Van Ryn, you'll find a strong commitment to client service at a reasonable cost. In all of our chosen practice areas, Paul Van Ryn and John Maxwell focus attention on your objectives and the problem you want us to solve.
