Please post questions like this in the appropriate software forum in future ;)

Export the LW object as an .obj file, that should go into Maya fine.

Okino has a rather snazzy bit of kit available called PolyTrans for Maya (http://www.okino.com/conv/pt4maya.htm) which will let you import your .lwo and .lws files amongst a host of others.

It's priced somewhere around the $800 USD mark which considering what it does is pretty sweet. Only really useful if you are doing a lot of back and forth work between packages; for a couple of lightwave models you're better off just exporting them as .obj files.
