It’s a wonder how Mr Rapoport gets a 3.6 rating considering his license has been revoked permanently. Be wary of these or any ratings .

Very smart and not out to grab and steal your money- wants to help guide you to the best solution, even avoiding court, and truly wants the best outcomes for his clients.

Max is an amazing lawyer. Take the other reviews with a grain of salt. There is a lot of misinformation out there about him. I did my research and found no issues with him. Max has A LOT of experience and is well known. His price is very reasonable and is less than an junior lawyer at the other fancy law firms. He doesn't care about making billable hours like these other fancy law firms. He is direct and to the point. If you mess up, he will be honest with you. He is not a "yes man" which is amazing because he will guide you if you are in the wrong. Don't take offense if he doesn't agree with you because he knows what's best in the eyes of the court. You are hiring an expert, trust him. He deals with the here and now and bases his responses on facts. This is the type of person that you want to have on your side so listen to him.

Max is quite the character, and an even better lawyer! He's very knowledgeable and experienced. His responses are short, direct, and will include the things the Court needs to know, nothing else. This scared me a little at first until I understood what he was doing. Trust his process! He doesn't like wasting time with things that are irrelevant in the eyes of the Court. That's what you pay a lawyer for right? If you ask him why something won't matter he will give you an honest answer. He has always answered my questions in a timely manor. We still have a long way to go in my case but so far I'm pleased with the outcome. I got what I was hoping for (for the most part) What I didn't get was not at any fault of Max. The Court system has its flaws, as with anything. He tells it like it is (which can come off a little abrasive) If you're a reasonable person you should be able to understand the point he's trying to make. He knows what he's doing! I will absolutely continue to be a client.

Max did a wonderful job representing me. He was easy to work with, communicated well and was quick to get solutions and handle things.

I had a 10-minute consult with Max. In those 10 minutes, he was rude, asked me questions such as "why on earth would you do that?" He judged me the moment the call started. I tried explaining my situation but he rudely brushed me off. Thank goodness for consults.

Max was an excellent lawyer to have. We went through a long legal process but did get the outcome we were seeking. his communication was excellent and he worked very well for us. My only regret was that we did have Max working for us sooner!

Max has been an exceptional help through this very troubling time for my family. Not only does he show absolute professionalism, the experience he brings makes you feel comfortable and confident. I will recommend Max to anyone who is looking for an experienced lawyer.

Max Rapoport is currently under investigation by the Law Society for allegations of professional misconduct by 6 different clients. (Law Society Notice of Application June 14, 2017). The Law Society found Max Rapoport guilty of professional misconduct against his own client in 2016. His license was suspended for 4 months at that time. I wonder whether his positive reviews are an inside job.

We contacted Max in early 2017, after a family tragedy. His prompt and compassionate response coupled with his highly professional service gave us all the reassurance we needed that we had found the right law office. From beginning to end, he was always available to guide us through our deeply personal and legal process. We found him honest, genuine and very knowledgeable about family law matters. It was very difficult time for us and he helped us through it. We are happy for the work he did for us and I highly recommend Max.

Max is highly professional and is a lawyer you can trust during any legal family matter you may be going through. I had incredible experience with Max. He is tremendously educated and passionate about what he does and he leaves you feeling confident that there is a solution to your problem. His communication throughout the whole process was consistent and detailed, leaving no room for doubts or second thoughts. Without him I would not have been successful!

I wish I had gone to see Max sooner. I am happy with what he has been able to do for me and the direction we are going. He is easy to talk to and will not sugarcoat anything! He is definitely a no BS kind of lawyer which I personally appreciate. I also love that if needed he is easy to get ahold of and responds quickly. I would definitely recommend Max to anyone that I know.

Max is the worst lawyer we have dealt with. He makes up bills out of the blue. Won't give detailed billing. Quits before trial and puts forth no effort. He is just interested in getting money any way he can. Please read the links from Law Society. I think these positive reviews are an inside job for when his suspension is over in August

I have known Max since 1996 and have had dealings with him on and off since then. I have never been disappointed with his services. Max is blunt and to the point and sometimes can be very harsh and that is fantastic because you know what you are up against. Even with this demeanor Max remains professional with excellent work ethics. Max is extremely knowledgeable and that makes him one of the best in Family Law. I did not and would not use anyone else. If you want the best go with Max Rapoport you won't be disappointed.

Max was very thorough and realistic with expectations and outcomes during the consultation and throughout the legal process. I felt his rates were reasonable, received all copies pertaining to the issue at hand, answered all my questions and made me feel comfortable and confident that everything will be, and can be resolved. Very happy with the results.

When I needed a family lawyer I was referred by someone in the community to Max Rapoport. Max saw me promptly after our first telephone call and has been great ever since. He openly answered all my questions, was very knowledgable,and was honest and upfront from the start. Not one moment did I feel that Max was not looking out for the best interests of my child and myself. It is clear that the last few reviews are from individuals who themselves are unstable. Going forward, I would without a doubt, refer anyone I knew that was looking for a great lawyer to Max!

Research “Max Rapoport” thoroughly. Pay close attention to the negative ratings this lawyer has earned himself on this web site. Max is rude, arrogant, disrespectful, forgetful, self-centered and disorganized. He will waste time and money talking about his own case rather than focusing his attention on your case, the one you will be paying him extorbitantly to defend. Max's main goal is to create a huge case file at your expense. A file that will cost you dearly. It was clear that he has low respect for women. Women beware ! He cares not for your own family matter. Rather than mitigate the critical consequences of a family law matter Max will add to your frustration and stress levels tenfold. If you were unfortunate enough (as I was), to find this site after already in the “grips” of this individual, I suggest you watch his billing with laser sharp inspection. Note... Amazingly this individual also has a way of getting negative ratings removed from this site.

Not sure who is posting the rave reviews. Stay away from this lawyer. There is an active LSUC investigation into Mr Rapoport. It is not by a client who doesn't want to pay their fee, it is a matter of conduct. LSUC does not pursue an investigation unless they have evidence, after all they are lawyers too.

Max is very professional and upfront. He is very no nonsense. I wouldn't have my children living with me now if it wasn't for him standing up for what was best for me and my children. Thank you so much Max for everything that you have done for me.

Max worked quickly and was able to ensure that my parental rights where respected and that a possible complete disappearance of my child was avoided. He knows his way around the court and as a client you need to be well prepared with the required details that are prevalent to the case.

Max did an outstanding job in handling my case. His organization, professionalism and wealth of knowledge/ experience with family law helped me tremendously for my divorce case.
His no nonsense attitude kept me focused on the important things and saved me lots of money.
Thank you for all your hard work, dedication, advice and coaching through this difficult time.

Arrogant, non communicative - calls/emails often go unanswered. Condescending, he makes you feel less than intelligent when asking questions. Suspicious billing practices, - mysterious invoices and application fees, doesn't return calls when I tried to inquire. My case seemed more of an inconvenience to him than it did a paying engagement, and I paid A LOT. All in all, a negative experience in an already tough situation, this experience just added to it.
