Soon thereafter, Leezee was asked to do the design work for a new restaurant on Pennsylvania Ave. named Maxine's. Restaurant Magazine gave her work a front cover photo for Maxine's. They also got coverage for some of her law firm work and for a large project called Asbury Methodist Home in Maryland. 

The Porter Group's redesign of Maxine's, a popular eatery in Georgetown, was featured in Restaurant Design, Spring 1981.
