Since 1949, Max Engel has been a cornerstone of legal expertise in Northampton. Like the law itself, our journey has evolved to meet the changing needs of our community.

Our Story

Max David Engel founded our firm in a modest attic off Northampton’s Market Square. Max’s reputation for solving complex legal issues quickly spread, establishing us as the go-to firm for those in need.

Over the decades, we’ve adapted and grown, shifting our focus from criminal law to the intricacies of property, commerce, and personal legal matters. Yet, our core principle remains unchanged: We’re on your side.

Our Values

  • Integrity: We uphold the highest ethical standards in all our dealings.

  • Expertise: Our team continually hones their skills to provide cutting-edge legal advice.

  • Empathy: We understand that behind every case is a person seeking help.
  • Community: As a Northampton institution, we’re committed to serving and enhancing our local area.
