About Maynard & Hogan

Fifteen years ago, I started Maynard & Hogan with a simple belief: that good legal representation means outworking the other side. Not with bigger billboards or fancier offices, but with preparation, attention to detail, and a willingness to fight for what's fair. I'd seen too many attorneys phone it in, treating cases like assembly line work. I knew San Jose families and business owners deserved better.

What began as a solo practice has grown into a firm that handles everything from personal injury and family law to criminal defense and estate planning. That growth happened because we kept our focus on the fundamentals: returning calls promptly, explaining options clearly, and doing the homework that wins cases. When you're going through a divorce, facing criminal charges, or dealing with an immigration matter, you need someone who understands what's at stake. You need an attorney who treats your case like it matters, because it does.

San Jose has been good to us, and we've worked hard to earn the trust this community has placed in our firm. Over the years, we've represented families through their toughest moments and helped local businesses navigate complex legal challenges. The work isn't always easy, but it's always meaningful. That's what gets me out of bed in the morning.

We Outwork the Opposition

This isn't a slogan. It's how we operate. We dig deeper into case law, prepare more thoroughly for depositions, and anticipate arguments before they're made. When we take your case, we're all in.

You'll Talk to an Attorney, Not a Gatekeeper

Phone tag with paralegals and assistants wastes your time and ours. When you have questions about your case, you'll speak directly with someone who can answer them and make decisions.

Straight Answers About Your Options

We'll tell you what we think will happen, what your realistic options are, and what each path will cost in time and money. You're making important decisions, and you deserve honest counsel, not false promises.

Fair Billing With No Surprises

You'll know our rates upfront, understand what you're paying for, and receive detailed invoices. Legal fees add up quickly, and we respect that you're trusting us with your money as well as your case.
