John P. Simpson

I talked with Mr. Simpson about my case as a consult and he went the extra mile for me. After hearing all the pertinent facts he guided me to the best solution. He helped me keep my case alive when all seemed lost. I am extremely grateful he used his expertise to help me. Save yourself some time and call Mr. Simpson first.

He spoke to me for 45 minutes and diligently walked me through my available options without ever asking me to pay a fee or commit to anything. Mr. Simpson seems to be a great communicator and genuine individual. I am glad I spoke to him, I feel like many people can benefit from his wisdom.

Attorney John Simpson represented me in a very difficult divorce. The first thing my ex-wife did was file a bogus PFA (protection from abuse) complaint. She and her lawyer were on a mission to take away all my money and my children too, but thankfully Attorney Simpson had my back. John got the PFA dropped. Then John showed the judge that my ex-wife’s financial demands were unreasonable. In the end, I walked away with the better deal. Thanks to John, I got to keep the house and, more importantly, my children live with me. I highly recommend that you call Attorney Simpson if you ever find yourself dealing with a PFA or you need a good divorce and child custody lawyer.

Attorney John Simpson helped me regain custody of my two children. I was teaching in China when my sister attempted to grab custody of my children by filing an emergency guardianship case in probate court. As a result, I had to quit my job immediately and fly back to the United States. When I arrived in Maine my sister insisted that my children stay living with her and filed a protection from abuse complaint (PFA) against me, making numerous untrue allegations. Attorney Simpson represented me at the PFA hearing and convinced the judge to order my sister to return my children. My children and I then went to Georgia to live. That wasn’t the end of our troubles, however. My sister and her attorney relentlessly pursued the guardianship case for six more months. Attorney Simpson fought back though and eventually got that case dismissed too. As well as being a strong advocate, an excellent negotiator and skilled trial lawyer, John is a genuinely upstanding person. I highly recommend Attorney Simpson to anyone involved in a challenging case, and I am grateful to have met him.

It has been quite a year since I first contacted Attorney John Simpson for help with my deteriorating marital situation. I had just initiated a cooling off period with my ex-wife and while I hoped at that time to keep the marriage intact, I knew that this would only be possible if my financial future would be protected. I asked John for advice, and his suggestion of a post nuptial agreement gave me the time that I needed and protected me financially while I figured out what to do next. A while later, when I surrendered to the inevitable, John helped me to navigate the divorce process by writing a settlement agreement that was fair and that would stand the test of time. While he offered to handle the entire process, I appreciate that he also gave me the option of doing some of the basic and routine paperwork and court filing myself so that his fee would be as low as possible, while still being at my side as my ex-wife and I were in court. Most importantly, when the inevitable unexpected curve ball came my way, the settlement agreement indeed proved to be iron clad. John's response to this most recent crisis was immediate and his advice was once again right on point. John actually designed a full, final and absolute release that completely deflected this curve ball in a way that was very financially advantageous to me. In brief, John consistently listened to my concerns, promptly answered my questions, proposed solutions that protected my interests for every issue that I encountered, and his fees exceeded my expectations for being fair and reasonable. I highly recommend John Simpson to anyone who needs a good lawyer and I would ask him to represent me in the future without reservation or hesitation.

Attorney John Simpson helped me to get primary custody of my three children. John Simpson was a compassionate and dedicated advocate for me in complex court proceedings that dragged on for a year. I highly recommend John to any parent involved in a divorce, child custody or child support case. When my case began I was working with another attorney but I did not feel that he was supportive or advocating enough on my behalf. So, after having a friend recommend him, I contacted attorney John Simpson to asked him to be my lawyer and I was very satisfied with how he advised, supported and advocated for me.

Two years ago John was a lawyer of the day for me in a criminal matter. He has since represented me in criminal, civil, and family court. He went up against the district attorney, the attorney general, and a very pricey well know lawyer and won every case. He is currently representing my family in a real estate matter. He's always easy to get a hold of and I can talk directly to him instead of leaving a message with a secretary and waiting to hear back. He is very down to earth, and well versed in many different parts of the law. He is great at looking at things from the other parties perspective and seeing what is necessary to win a case. He helped me look at situations calmly and rationally in a time where it seemed like everything was going wrong. His honest approach is one of the reasons our family keeps coming back to him. I can't say enough good things about this man.

John has been there every step of the way through my divorce. Every minute has been used extremely well. He is actually a good person, and he helped me avoid unnecessary legal fees!

I have now had the good fortune to work with Attorney Simpson on two cases. The first case was an appeal of a divorce judgment to the Maine Supreme Court. The second case was a child custody matter. I can attest that Attorney Simpson has excellent courtroom and trial skills and a deep knowledge of the law. Attorney Simpson is very patient and compassionate. He takes the time to explain everything clearly and gave good advice. If you are looking for representation in a challenging legal matter, you should call Attorney Simpson.

I am currently in the midst of a custody battle for over a year and John has been by my side and doing everything he can to help my situation I've had precursors in my history that make it and expecially daunting task and he's not only stood by me and done everything he could to help me and my children but he is just a genuinely good person. John once picked up my phone call on a Sunday afternoon there's a level of dedication that I have not seen with many attorneys that is invaluable

I hired John to take care of an old case. John tracked it down. talked with the right people and filed all the correct paper work. John's hard work led to a dismissal.

I was facing what seemed like an impossible situation. My girlfriend had filed a PFA on me, I hadn’t seen my daughter in six nights, and hadn’t been in my home, it seemed like all was totally lost. It was one of the most tumultuous times in my life. The day the order was filed I called my regular attorney who was busy the day of the hearing, she referred me over to John. At first, I was skeptical. Most folks, in what seems like difficult situations usually are. Well, I called John Simpson, and he spoke with me for over an hour and a half, no charge. The more he listened to the specifics of the case, which at times would qualify for The Jerry Springer Show, the more I felt as if he understood me, my worries, and my unfounded fears. John has a certain presence about him, not only on the phone, but in person. He is calm, cool, and collected, there are no false pretenses, and he is the real deal. As the hearing drew near, and I sat in the back seat worried, in walked a distinguished southern gentleman, John Simpson. His presence alone seemed to change the feel that particular day. It seemed as if all the cards were stacked against me and that all hope was lost. There was a certain amount of me that was just focused on trying to prove what was done wrong to me. John corrected me on this, he reeled me in, and he helped me to feel as if it would be ok. He was right. John Simpson carries about him an unmatched dignity, that cannot be questioned, even by the most aggressive of forces. I myself, am a, “worrier,”...John saw this and calmed me down in a hurry, with six simple words; “The truth is on your side.” It’s very difficult for me to describe to anyone reading this just how tough the situation I faced was. I’m a devout Christian, and simply wished for peace. John understood this, and his approach to the problems were made with such grace and dignity, I couldn’t help but to be confident and humbled. Now, make no mistake, it was with great discussion that John brokered the deal for me and my daughter that he actually did. He was steadfast, communicated clearly, and certainly down to earth. He passed no judgement at any point in time, he kept things on the level. Which, if you’re in a situation like I was, is exactly what you will need. So, in short, without going into descriptive details, Attorney Simpson or John, was able to broker a deal without having to put me or either of my witnesses on the stand. He did this with what I viewed as uncanny negotiating skills. In fact, while I went into this just hoping to see my child again, I left with much more than that, and now my life is back on track. I largely have John Simpson to thank. He’s a great man, in what is a chaotic mess of what seems like lies. I’ll also add that when faced with another question, after the hearing I nearly panicked, but called John and he was kind enough to answer his cell phone, and provide me with sound legal advice. Which I thought was great. John knows his business well. In closing, I could write a novel about this man’s skill. ( In fact, I’m sure he’ll have a spot in my book) If you are anything like me, you’ve been lead to Avvo looking for legal help for a family matter, or other similar situation. If that is the case John is your guy. His consult alone was enough to sell me. His rates are more than fair, and he will not beat around the bush, just ask him straight away. Please don’t hesitate with this guy, if you’re in need of fair representation, call John Simpson now.

John took his time to have a very in depth and informative conversation with me during his busy day. He not only helped me with legal advice but also gave me some coaching on what I can do to better myself. He was very down to earth and real about each subject we talked about. He was very fair and and didn't sugar coat anything and told me all possibilities for my case. Couldn't have asked for better advice!

On the day that my divorce was to be finalized I needed last minute counsel regarding an issue that my ex-wife had threatened me with. John was very gracious in listening to me and helped me process how to respond to her by giving me understanding of the factors involved and what the best response would be. As a result I felt good about the offer that I made my ex-wife which she accepted. I am very thankful for the free consultation that John provided for me. It gave me understanding and peace of mind.

John Simpson helped me during a tough time in my life, I was charged unfairly and was facing prison time with a felony charge, luckily, John was able to speak with the DA, and after a very good agreement, my charges were agreed to be dropped. He is very polite and is not judgmental, and kept me updated and fully informed of what he was doing every step of the way. I would recommend him to anyone I know facing any criminal charges!
