Maxwell Carter

Maxwell Carter is an attorney with Ivanovic Law Offices in Milwaukee who has developed his legal and courtroom experience within a family law practice. He works alongside experienced attorneys on client matters and brings a focused, collaborative approach to case preparation. His family law background began during law school through clinic and internship work involving divorce, paternity, post-judgment matters, and other family concerns, providing practical exposure before he entered full-time practice.

Max earned his Juris Doctorate from Marquette University in 2022 after receiving a B.S. in Psychology from the University of Pittsburgh in 2018. At Marquette, he was inducted into the Pro Bono Society and earned a certificate in Alternative Dispute Resolution. He also served as Treasurer for the Organization for Student Wellbeing. His education supports client communication, negotiation, dispute resolution, and careful analysis of the personal and procedural issues that arise in family law cases.

Max volunteered with the Marquette Volunteer Legal Clinic and the Milwaukee Justice Center Family Law Forms Clinic while in law school. At the volunteer clinic, he worked exclusively with family law attorneys assisting people with a wide range of family law concerns. He also interned at Centro Legal, where he gained experience with divorce, paternity, and post-judgment cases. These roles provided early practice-oriented training in client service, family court procedures, and document preparation.

Maxwell Carter was admitted to practice law in Wisconsin in 2022 and is a member of the Society of Family Lawyers. He joined Ivanovic Law Offices the same year and continues to develop courtroom and client-representation experience in a collaborative family law setting. His psychology education, alternative dispute resolution training, legal clinic work, and family law internship provide a useful foundation for helping clients address sensitive disputes through organized preparation, clear communication, and practical legal strategy.
