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.

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 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!

Iam not usually leaving reviews but I’ll do that one. I was looking for advices for two cases. Family court and criminal court. I tried to get an attorney from everywhere so he’ll can help me. The problem is the most of the attorneys out there they tried to get the money first and then probably when ...you really need them they disappearing. I called mr Simpson and I realized from day 1 he is looking out for me first. He was there anytime I needed him even if I was calling him really early at the morning when he was driving for work. He explained everything I was in need just the time I was needing him. He have a lot of experience about law. He was able to help me about criminal and family court and he gave me the best way to get through both cases. If you need an attorney who will really take care of you just the time you need him so you’re not gonna loose important deadlines I recommend mr Simpson. He stay there as long as you need him to get you step by step out of this stressful situation. If all attorneys were like him this world would be a better world. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I’ll always be grateful for you.

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 futu...re 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.
