I’m a passionate advocate for the accused. Because I hold an MBA alongside my law degree, I understand how to keep costs low and offer reasonable fees. I dedicate the necessary time and effort to each case, focusing on the details to provide personalized, comprehensive, and cost-effective representation.

My commitment to my profession is deep-seated, and I undertake it without passing judgment.

What sets me apart from many other Minnesota defense attorneys is that I’ve been in the situation you find yourself in now.

I’ve been mistakenly arrested not once but twice. Harrowing is the memory of those times, cuffed in the back of a police vehicle—yet, those very incidents have fueled my fervent advocacy for the rights of the accused.

Matt was very helpful during my consultation, which was completely free. I was even able to speak with him via webcam, making it more personal.

Thus far my experience in dealing with Mister Shek has been an overwhelmingly positive one, when you find yourself in a position where your very freedom and independence stands to be taken from you, not to mention your time.My mother is receiving hospice care and doesn't have much time left, upon hearing that detail Mister Shek reached out to me personally far ahead of the scheduled consultation appointment that had been set.He shoots straight and doesn't over promise, he encouraged me to consult with additional attorneys before making a decision.When the wolves are at the gates to take all that you hold dear, take it from me that you are in good hands

Mr.Shek really took his time, in a situation where there wasn’t much time left. He was extremely precise & dissected my case to truly look at it for what it was as a whole. I can’t thank him enough for the work & hours spent looking for the honesty & facts of my situation. I would recommend his services to many if asked

His commitment to achieving the best possible outcome was evident, and his ability to leverage his knowledge and experience resulted in a favorable resolution.I highly recommend Maxwell for anyone facing serious legal challenges.

Max is a fantastic lawyer that got me fantastic results. My outcome was better than I could have ever hoped and I still can't believe what he got dismissed! I call him miracle Max like in The Princess Bride. I thought I was dead, but I was just mostly dead. He brought me back to life with the magic of his law skills and now I can be walking around a free man ready to storm the castle. Thank you so much Max!

You won't regret choosing Maxwell Shek. Max is a highly knowledgeable defense attorney who will stand by you every step of the way. He takes each case seriously, offering realistic plans and executing them with the utmost precision. I was facing the possibility of a tarnished record, but Max skillfully negotiated an exceptional plea deal with the state. Even when the prosecutor tried to back out during pretrial, Max fought tirelessly, and we achieved outstanding results. Max is punctual, professional, and charismatic.
