Excellent job in family matters.
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.

If you're looking for a lawyer who can help calm rough waters, look no further, John is your man.

"I had an opportunity working together with Mr. Simpson on a case before the U.S. District Court for the District of Maine, when jointly representing a same client. Throughout the process, Mr. Simpson always showed his responsibility on the case, including meeting up with the adversary, attending the case strategy discussions, showing up on time at the Court Room for arguments. Mr. Simpson demonstrated his care of client's best legal interests and he is a good listener. Mr. Simpson is one of the best picks when looking for a representing attorney."
"John works diligently on his cases. The passion he brings to law is one of the reasons I send him clients when I am unable to take on the work. He is responsive, has a quick wit and dedicated to his matters."
