In addition, Maxwell failed to initially identify that my severance package violated the Employment Standards Act, 2000. I only discovered this myself after researching online three months later.

Despite these oversights, I was still billed for the time spent communicating with him about these mistakes. My case dragged on for over 21 months to reach a settlement. For the first 15 months, I diligently paid every invoice by credit card, as per the agreement. However, Maxwell later imposed an additional processing fee for credit card payments, which was never mentioned upfront. Maxwell charges an hourly rate for his services, and from the moment I signed the agreement, I felt less like a client and more like an ATM.
