Biography

Meet Robert Maxwell — general lawyer in Seattle

From a very young age I have been immersed, in one way or another, with ice hockey. Hockey instilled in me the core values of hard work, leadership, loyalty, and honesty — all qualities that I apply in the practice of law. The sport has also shown me the success that can be achieved through working together as a team. In my practice I approach every legal matter with a team mentality and strive to ensure that my clients understand that they are a critical part of the team; cooperation, understanding, and communication are key. Through a team approach, clear communication, and trust, it is my goal to help clients resolve any dispute and then minimize the risk going forward.

I strive to develop long-lasting client relationships by providing the upmost service, regardless of the size or complexity of the legal matter. I have represented clients on a wide variety of transactional matters including residential real property purchases and sales, residential and commercial leases, business purchase and sales, and business entity formation. I have also represented clients in litigation involving construction issues, contractual disputes, property disputes, landlord-tenant actions and evictions. I enjoy working with homeowners, construction contractors (big and small) to help them navigate the complexities of the construction arena, whether through litigation or in drafting documents to help protect their interests.

Originally from Yakima, Washington, I moved to Seattle in 2004 to attend the University of Washington where I played for the University of Washington Ice Hockey Team. I graduated with a B.A. in 2008. I graduated from Seattle University School of Law in 2013 and have been practicing law in Seattle ever since.

When not working, I enjoy playing and coaching hockey, rock-climbing, mountain biking, surfing, sailing, and enjoying everything the Pacific Northwest has to offer. I live in Seattle with my wife and two kids.
