Philip Maximilian Bevis

At the conclusion of a 4 year divorce process with a High Conflict person. I cannot recommend Phil Bevis and his office enough. When you are fighting to remain in your children's lives it is critical who you choose. His understanding of case law, strategy, and process is exceptional. Phil was e...fficient, effective and determined to get a fair outcome. Through calculated motions, communication and ultimately trial we arrived at a fair conclusion. I have no hesitation endorsing his fact based approach to getting a fair resolution. He is in trial often, and is well respected in the legal community. I will always be grateful for his help at a crucial moment in life. His fees, billing and staff communication all feel transparent and fair. He works hard and listens carefully for detail that will affect the outcome then gets right down to business and gets things done. When it was important we met in person, when a call or text was all that was needed he kept it brief and concise. This is who you call when you want results.

My experience working with Mr. Bevis during my divorce was extremely disappointing. While he made many initial promises, very few were delivered upon. Rather than helping to resolve matters efficiently, he often escalated conflict unnecessarily, turning what could have been a straightforward divorce ...into a prolonged and costly ordeal. Mr. Bevis has a reputation for being confrontational, and while that may appeal to some, in my case it ultimately worked against my best interests. After three years of heightened conflict and unresolved issues, he chose to withdraw from my case when outcomes didn’t align with his approach. In my opinion, Mr. Bevis’s conduct was unprofessional and counterproductive. I would strongly recommend seeking alternative representation, particularly if you’re looking for a lawyer focused on resolution rather than confrontation.

Phill was highly aggressive throughout the time I spent with him working on my case. I initially thought this was a good thing. To his credit he and his team make things happen quickly. In my opinion those aggressive tactics worked against my case. I left his service and spoke with other represent...ation when I realized his aggressive style was not meant to benefit my children but rather his pockets. He promised that I could get most anything I wanted, which I believed initially. I have spoke to a few other clients of his who have also stated they had a similar experience. The lawyers I spoke to subsequently were concerned that I had been mislead. They asked that I pursue mediation because the damage had been done and that going to trial would work against me.

I made the costly mistake of having this clown represent me in my divorce. He is not his father. He had a kidney transplant and is barely able to function. He worried more about his drugs sitting in a hot car than he did about my divorce. Huge mistake on my part. Cost me hundreds of thousands m...ore than it should have. I really dont think he is physically or mentally able to function.

I hired Phil to help me with a post- divorce custody modification situation. I had to make some tough decisions under intense pressure and Phil was truly by my side through the whole thing . Even though he is extremely busy, he was able to quickly grasp the complexities of my situation and helped me ...change gears when he felt it was in my best . interest. He and his staff are extremely efficient and didn’t waste my time or money . I highly recommend Phil Bevis . He is simply one of the best family law attorneys in Boise.
