This law firm is very professional, organized, and all around amazing. I was in a very frantic state when I had to hire this firm. I heard of this law firm from by referral from another well-respected Chicago attorney who Maxine worked with in the past. Although my marriage was short, I knew that my divorce was going to be an ugly one due to extreme financial circumstance, I put my trust into Maxine and the associates she put on the case and I was not let down. Maxine also has a background in Psych (was a psych major in college) which came in handy a lot particularly in my divorce. Throughout the entire process the communication was excellent. Whenever I emailed them, I always got a response within hours but always by the end of the day at the latest. Any communication I received was always thorough and well-explained, as sometimes legal jargon can be difficult for the lay person to understand. The pricing structure is very straight forward and the bills that I received were very descriptive so that there were no questions as to what the costs came from. Phone calls and emails were sufficiently explanatory yet concise which keeps things more cost-effective. (I've known other attorneys who liked to talk themselves in circles on phone calls, ringing up the minutes/the bill). This is firm is realistic and they tell you how it is, which I have come to realize can be a unique and important attribute when looking to hire a divorce attorney! GREAT firm that I would highly recommend! read more

Dealing with family law issues is never fun. Now, 15 years after our separation/divorce, my ex-wife has taken me back to court. Keep in mind this is a divorce case that has a legal separation in California, a child visitation order in Washington State, an enforcement order in Illinois and the child lives in Maryland. It's a complex case. I was referred to WKO Family Law from a high-priced trial attorney I've become friends with over the years. Seth mentioned that Maxine is the best in the family law business and, I have to say, I completely agree. Why? Because they take the time to learn YOUR case. They actually listen to YOUR specific situation and then they provide you with several options (and seasoned advice on those options) for you to take in your specific scenario. Brad has found case law after case law after case law examples for us to utilize in my specific case. Maxine has provided valuable insight on strategy during conferences. I wish I would've known about WKO Family Law in Chicago 15 years ago. They know their stuff. They are reasonably priced (remember, a dollar saved today costs you tens of thousands over the coming years...I know that all too well). They are focused on your specific situation. I highly recommend them for complicated family law cases in Chicago. read more

BEWARE!!!!!! UNETHICAL PRACTICES!!!!! BEWARE!!!! Amanda Oliver is an Unethical lawyer that puts her agenda ahead of the ethical obligation she made to become an attorney. Amanda is an arrogant and disrespectful attorney. Amanda bullies people, and gets great enjoyment talking down to people and refusing to listen to anyone that is not an attorney. Amanda intentionally mails personal documents to your family members and not to your proper address even after being corrected several times by a judge. Amanda also doesn't mail court required documents as to get people to miss court dates and not defend themselves against her unethical practices. Amanda intentionally and continuously miscalculates child support,(56 weeks of pay in a year?). Amanda Oliver intentionally mails old court orders to people's employers for deductions one week after they have been changed to a different amount that is lower, however if the court order is an increase, the correct order is mailed. These practices are what give attorneys a bad reputation. So in that respect, Amanda Oliver is doing a great job at giving attorney's a Horrible Reputation! read more

I contacted Amanda Oliver for my part divorce matters regarding custody. She led me to top notch Associate Attorney Gabrielle Diprimio who without question was the best attorney I have ever worked with. She fought for everything and then some I wanted. She was informative, patient, and truthful with me the entire way. Communication and response time was quick and efficient even on weekends or late hours. She thought outside the box which is what was needed in my case. They worked with me on payment plan as my case was over a year and costly. The entire staff was phenomenal. I truly felt I had the best representation. I recommend Gabrielle and the firm to anyone in need of any amazing attorney. read more

Maxine made my prenup review and signing a breeze! She walked me through and explained everything thoroughly to make sure I understood each and every word. In our initial conversation she told me that her main goal was to get me married which I appreciated. I didn't want this situation to be a stressful battle and she made sure that did not happen, meanwhile looking out for my best interests. I appreciated all of her input and appreciated that she respected my decisions even if she didn't 100% agree. She was incredibly responsive and a pleasure to work with. I would absolutely recommend Maxine! read more

Weiss Kunz and Oliver is truly an amazing law firm which compassionately and sincerely puts their clients first during an extremely difficult time. I personally followed Maxine from her prior law firm to her current which she founded. Maxine is one of a kind! She is a fierce litigator who pays attention to every detail. I can never thank her enough for all that she has done for me and am proud to give her my highest recommendation and support of her business. If you choose Weiss Kunz and Oliver, you made an excellent decision. read more

I highly recommend Maxine Weiss Kunz! She took over my divorce case from one of the large well-known law firms after I was paying thousands of dollars a month, but nothing was moving forward at all. She immediately stepped in and got all the parties to the table and got it settled quickly. I truly think my case would have dragged on for another few years otherwise. Equally important, she is highly responsive to emails or phone calls, and was always available to answer questions or take action, at all times! read more

I've worked with Amanda Oliver at WKO on various proceedings both before and since my divorce. As a client, I could not have found better representation. She provides excellent legal advice, resolves issues quickly and efficiently, and anticipates and mitigates potential issues. She has represented me in court (too) many times and I credit her with getting me and my children the best possible outcome. HIGHLY recommend! read more

This law firm helped me with what I thought, was going to be an impossible task, I literally hadn't heard from my estranged husband in nearly 20 years McKenzie and Maxine helped me tremendously, they even worked out a payment plan for me that's truly girl power in action thanks, Ms Evans without the hyphen lol read more

Maxine and her team worked on my complex case for a good year and a half. During that time they were professional, compassionate, always responsive to emails and calls, and worked their hardest for the best result possible. Definitely would recommend. read more
