John P. Simpson

Attorney John Simpson was my lawyer, and he assisted me for three years in a long divorce procedure. Despite my lack of familiarity with American law due to not living in the USA, Attorney Simpson's expertise and guidance not only provided me with a sense of security and trust but also a strong fo...undation to navigate the legal complexities. He helped me secure visitation rights and negotiate child support, even in the face of a belligerent defendant. His advice on managing my emotions and communication was not just helpful, but invaluable. It prevented potential legal issues and helped to maintain a civil relationship with my ex-wife, significantly improving my emotional well-being during a challenging time. Attorney John Simpson is not just a lawyer, but a man of God who consistently applies common sense and emotional intelligence to effectively mediate between two strong-willed parties. This unique quality greatly contributed to the success of our mediation, setting him apart from other lawyers. The billing process was not just fair and transparent, but it also provided me with a sense of relief and peace. The quality of service was excellent, further enhancing my confidence in Attorney Simpson's representation. Thank you, Attorney John Simpson, for everything you have done. Your efforts have allowed me to see my children regularly; they even visited me for a month and a half. I am deeply grateful for your unwavering support and guidance, and I cannot thank you enough for the positive impact you've had on my life. And all this would not have been possible without your skillful negotiating skills, John. Thank you for everything! I have regained my parental rights, and this moment filled me with immense gratitude and relief, which is a testament to your exceptional skills and dedication. I wholeheartedly recommend Attorney John Simpson to anyone seeking a divorce lawyer or criminal defence attorney with unwavering ethics, outstanding negotiation skills, and a commitment to justice.

John Simpson has handled my family’s legal matters for several years with unwavering devotion. He has been extremely dedicated to us as he puts his heart and soul into his duties and fights for life changing results. An honorable and brilliant man, we couldn’t be happier with the ways in which he has... gone exceedingly above and beyond for our family. With his diligent and faithful work ethic, John genuinely cares about making a positive difference in our lives and I can truly say that he is the biggest contributing factor to our overall success. I would strongly suggest Mr. Simpson to anybody who is searching for an attorney that will fight relentlessly for you until the very end. We are forever grateful for him.

In January 2020 my deeply troubled daughter obtained a Protection from Harassment (PFH) order against me in Portland to stop all contact between me and her two children, with whom I had a wonderful relationship.  4 months later in May, at the height of Covid 19, I sent a birthday card and herbal tea ...to my granddaughter and 4 months after that my daughter insisted I be charged with a crime for that. After nearly 2 more years the district attorney’s office finally agreed to a deferred disposition agreement that would leave me free from a criminal record. However, this made my daughter, the so called victim of my birthday gift crime, more irate and she argued that I must have a criminal label and should be incarcerated (I have a full lifetime free of violence or criminal history). But my daughter's unfounded claims, with constant court / DA encouragement that she was a victim of everything, escalated even further beyond the absurd. The DA’s office wrote to "pull the proposal" and went on to demand I be deemed a criminal and be incarcerated.  At that point I contacted Attorney John Simpson. He patiently listened to the history and facts. John’s mind is razor sharp and he quickly understood the essence of what happened. His deep understanding of the Maine criminal courts and the politics of the DA’s office was exactly what I needed. Attorney Simpson had experience working with each of the three judges and four assistant district attorneys that ended up being involved my case. Attorney Simpson cut through things and explained that the DA could not renege on an agreement by trying to miscast it as a withdrawal of an offer. To make a long story short, he helped me draft a motion that forced the DA to reinstate the substance of the deal we had made. The Judge would not credit the lost time, but the vicious absurd criminal charges will be dismissed and I will have no permanent criminal record. I have worked with many attorneys. None are better than John, who combines the fast and sure battle instincts of an experienced, no-nonsense criminal defense attorney with civility, patience and political savvy.  John Simpson has very high personal integrity and is one of the finest human beings I have had the privilege of knowing. He was there when I needed him, it goes without saying that he has my highest recommendation and you may contact me if desired.

I came to John in a sad divorce with a lot of emotional lies and things happening that were not accurate as well as my ex-wife’s attorneys were really lousy, and dealing with lawyers that didn’t know what they’re doing really just hurt my ex-wife more as they dragged it out probably just to raise th...eir fees. At that time I was hell-bent on proving the truth and John took the time to work with me and focus on what’s important, and his level of detail and knowledge of the court system, as well as the laws, made it so that by the end of everything I had exactly what I wanted and lost nothing. His level of caring is exactly what I needed to get my family through this horrible time for both sides. If you’re ever in the unfortunate situation, as I was getting divorced I highly recommend using John Simpson he deserves so much more then what I could ever give him.

I had the luck of having Attorney John Simpson be my divorce lawyer.  John was extremely patient and understanding and very detailed when working on my long and very complex case.  I am a physician and have four children.  My case involved international  assets. I was extremely impressed with John'...s knowledge and meticulous work. He insured that I took my time in making a decision every step of the way. He was very accessible and I never felt that he was motivated by any financial incentive. Words cannot express my gratitude and appreciation for his hard-work and kindness.  I strongly recommend John in a complex divorce case like mine.  I got what I believed was fair to me.  John worked with professionalism and wisdom in my case and with the lawyers of my ex-husband, whom were pressuring us to make hasty decisions.  He was prepared for any possible tactics of the other lawyers.  I am extremely happy with his service, and I highly recommend him. Thank you, John!  I will never forget your support!
