Friend, Psychoanalyst
"Peter should not be held hostage."

"Family has always been Peter Max's priority and I have witnessed him care in person for his own father Jakob until his very last days in NYC. I have seen him care for his children and long-time friends who are family to him. I can't believe isolating him from his loved ones can be good for him and as a matter of fact, believe that it is detrimental to his happiness and health. The lack of transparency of his everyday care, added to the control of his communication and visits with his friends and family members indicates wrong-doing in his actual conservatorship. Please release him to the care of his daughter Libra."

"These types of guardianships and conservatorships are a travesty. The guardians and conservators siphon money away from their victims while keeping them isolated to cover their crimes. The victims of such arrangements should be listened to, as should their long time friends and family. We have seen Britney Spears freed from her ordeal. Peter Max and all who suffer under the absolute control of such “guardians” should be freed as from their captors as well."

"Deep amirations for an artist, who was one of a kind. I know Libra and Peter; their father daughter connection is real and as sincere as it gets. To hear that she has been marginalied is horrifying. Peter has lead an intrepid life and deserves the harth of his closet kin."

"My case has many similarities with that of Ms. Libra Max with whom I briefly attended the Calhoun School. My mother was forced into guardianship which turned out to be corrupt . The first guardian, and the following 3 guardians isolated my mother and ‘stole’ as much of her money as possible. My mother passed away 2 years ago during the court battle which still continues after 6 years. Her last guardian refuses to release her estate money. I doubt if I will ever recover from the emotional hell I have gone through and continue to experience."

It is my hope that the court reverses the guardianship order and allows his family to give him the much needed care he so desperately needs. Urgent compassion is needed now!"

"Peter Max has been legally kidnapped and is being psychologically tortured being kept away from his family and friends."

"Everything that is being done to Peter Max in this imprisonment of a guardianship appears not for his health and wellness. Keeping family and lifelong friends away is a serious matter. No attorney knows someone well enough to take the place of family and lifelong friends. This is obviously a money grab. No family members can can question his medications, which can kill him. No one can question his diet, which can also contribute to his demise if it is not healthy. No one can question his ability to get fresh air, vitamin D, exercise and even a gym membership, which is incredibly helpful for many senior citizens who need assistance in staying fit. Pharmaceuticals tend to dumb the elderly down, and increase dementia, whereas exercise and a healthy lifestyle, increase longevity. Peter Max has been into health and wellness for years. His family supports that."

Senior Nurse for NHS

"Injustice!"

"Very sad to read. Criminally unfair."

"This cannot be legal? How on earth can an individual be treated like this and have zero rights. The law must change and Peter Max should be allowed the freedom of choice like any other person."
