About Maxwell Livingston

Max Livingston is obsessed with turning conflict into compromise. From getting a master’s degree in dispute resolution to becoming a Wisconsin Certified Mediator, Max is constantly looking for ways to bring value while creating win-win solutions.

Max’s background in business law and employment law enhances his representation of family law clients who own businesses, who have complex incomes, or who have uncommon employment benefits, making him a capable can-do attorney with a wealth of legal talents.

One of Max’s most distinctive traits is his loyalty to his clients. He invests a great deal of energy into understanding all aspects of their cases, their goals, and their motivations to never lose sight of what is important to them and to maximize their results. Unafraid to take risks or fight for the underdog, Max’s primary objective is to solve his clients’ conflicts forever, not just for now.

Despite all of Max’s impressive professional accomplishments, his humility and honesty are the things that leave the most lasting impression. His clients say that he is caring, insightful, and the perfect blend of professionalism and compassion.

Max was named a Super Lawyers Rising Star in 2022, a Martindale-Hubbell Client Gold Champion in 2021, and an AVVO Client’s Choice. He is a member of several local bar and professional associations. He teaches undergraduate legal courses at Marquette University. Outside of work, he enjoys spending time with his wife and three sons—preferably at Universal Studios in Florida!

Hired Attorney Maxwell Livingston

I consulted in Attorney Livingston regarding my divorce. I was at first Leary that he wouldn’t contact me because I am on a limited income. When I spoke with him, he was so kind and compassionate with my situation. He was very willing to work with me. Although divorce is still pending, Attoney Livingston has been very quick to respond to ANY questions I have during this process. He has been so patient with me and assured me that everything is going to be ok. I would HIGHLY recommend Attorney Livingston to anyone who needs help. He also offered to help me after the divorce to help me with a Will and any other services. What attorney does this? MINE DOES! Attorney Livingston, thank you. So please anyone out their that wants a GREAT Attorney, he is your man!!!!

I won a unanimous jury verdict in my favor in a civil trial over breach of contract which was verbal. Award was what we asked for, $500,000. This required a lot of work and was done with great legal skills. Maxwell told me liked going to trial and that is what I saw as he rolled out our case to the jury. Brilliant work

Whoever composed all the lawyer jokes obviously did not know Maxwell Livingston. Our son who is also a JD advised us we would never win this case. He was wrong. We were right, and Max believed in us and our story. He and we were awarded with an unanimous verdict in a jury trial and awarded with the full amount for damages, a more than substantial amount. His command of the law is formidable, but his integrity as a human being is affirmation of the goodness of the human condition. We and our son are in awe of him. This may sound hyperbolic, but I assure you it is not.
