Honest, Trustworthy, and Wholesome

Ms Maiden was hired to represent me in a child custody case. Not only did she get me what I was asking, but got me more. She called and checked in on me, was very personable, and eager to fight any battle opposing counsel threw at her. She was always willing to go to bat for me.

Best attorney ever!!!

Besianne is the best family law attorney! She is ethical, honest and highly knowledgeable! Her legal representation restored my faith in the justice system. If you are seeking legal help as a child custody client, call Besianne today!

Amazing!!

Bes has been an amazing lawyer during my custody case. She has taken so much time to make sure I understand everything, help me through all my anxieties, and empower me. She truly cares about my case and seeing that I am not taken advantage of. She's very understanding, honest, and sensible. She is a... clear communicator and I have had no problems in reaching her when I need to talk to her. She has also been very fair in her pricing. I love Bes!!!

She is my savior

Bessieanne is the reason I was finally able to have a normal nights sleep. After almost two years of a terribly ugly divorce and custody battlel I lost hope. A friend of mine referred me to Bessie Anne and I immediately saw a difference. She did things so much more quickly, throughly and more profes...sionally than any of my lawyers in the past. She is kind and very knowledgeable and caring. Bessie is great in the courtroom and well respected.

Dissatified to this day...

I hired Ms. Maiden to represent me in a bitter divorce and child custody case. Her services were not worth the over $7,500 in fees charged nor the constant stress I endure to this day. She was difficult to reach, painfully slow to respond, often demanded additional payments for what appeared to b...e little or no work by her and her staff, and miscommunicated a court appearance date that could have resulted in a warrant for my arrest (she knew I was out of town for work on that date). To this day, I owe an exorbitant spouse support amount, have no contact with my child, an my ex-spouse has sufficiently poisoned my relationship with my brothers. My ex-spouse claimed fraudulent arrears for expenses that Ms. Maiden never reviewed nor had an interest in reviewing and adjudicating. I was more than happy to throw away the free coffee cup with her law firm's logo that she gave to me.

Family lawyer | Jun 29

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I have worked with Ms. Maiden on several matters where I was a Guardian Ad Litem. My experience with Ms. Maiden is she is always concerned for her client's best interest. Ms. Maiden is conscientious in her responsibilities to her clients and to the Court. I have also had Ms. Maiden on the opposite side of the case. She is easy to work with and always professional, but a formidable opponent. I have a great deal of respect for her and learn something from her each time I have a case with her."
