About Lawrence Arthur

Lawrence Arthur Maxham earned his undergraduate degree at Tufts University and went on to study law at Boston College Law School, where he received his law degree. He completed his formal legal education before taking the bar examination and launching a career in California law. His academic path combined a liberal arts foundation with professional legal training in Boston.

After law school, Maxham was admitted to the California bar in 1966. He has maintained an active California license since that year and continued practicing through the decades that followed. That continuity marks a long professional life in the law. He remained in active status as of 2026.

Over the course of his career he has been associated with The Maxham Firm. The firm is listed as his office and the base from which he practices. His professional record is rooted in California courts and practice. He has regularly carried the responsibilities typical of a licensed attorney: advising clients, appearing in court, preparing legal documents, and managing casework. Those duties reflect the daily work of an attorney who has sustained a practice for many years.

Maxham’s career reflects steady involvement in the legal profession dating back to the mid-1960s. He trained at a New England law school and then built a practice on the West Coast. The arc of his career is one of long-term continuity rather than rapid moves between firms or jurisdictions. He held an active California bar membership through numerous shifts in law and practice norms, adapting his work to changes in procedure and precedent as they occurred.

Colleagues and clients who have worked with him over the years would recognize a lawyer who continued to serve under an active license into the 2020s. He has continued his professional work at The Maxham Firm and maintained an active presence in California’s legal community. As of 2026 he practices law at The Maxham Firm in California.

Lawrence Arthur Maxham is deceased (July 15, 2023). This profile is maintained as a historical record.
