Honest & Experienced Lawyer - Exceeded our expecations with integrity & the highest level of sensitivity to our family's case.

Our experience with John exceeded our family's expectations. His experience in family law court, as well as his honest & respectable reputation amongst the commissioners and judges, sets him apart from other lawyers. He is trustworthy and fair, and practices with the highest level of sensitivity an...d integrity. He is PROFICIENT in family law, meticulously organized and his attention to detail resulted in a better than desired outcome for our family. I've referred & will continue to refer family and friends to John and would give him the highest recommendation available.

Excellent experience with unusual case!

I had an unusual case where my spouse was Canadian but we had never resided together in either Washington or Canada during our marriage (we had been overseas). John clearly explained my challenge, that Washington did not have jurisdiction for a traditional proceeding, but he also had researched a sol...ution that was easy for us to implement and that allowed us to proceed. John is excellent to work with; creative, flexible and prompt. I highly recommend him!

Great Lawyer to work with!

John has been a blessing to work with. He replies to emails very quickly and is sure to answer any questions/concerns that I might have. He's very good at handling documents and speaking with the other lawyer therefore leaving me out of any unnecessary paperwork that might add stress. I appreciate hi...s attention to detail and the comfort level he has brought in such a stressful time in my life. I would definitely recommend him to friends and family.

Posted by Ken | January 16, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Honest, caring, and knowledgable

I went through what can only be called an extremely messy divorce. I had a productive consult with Mr. Maier, and when the time came, hired him as my attorney. I went through months of court appearances, some planned and some at the last second. Mr. Maier was there every step of the way. He was the k...nowledgeable, level head I needed on my side. Thanks to him, my kids and I are in a great place and happy. He knew exactly what challenges I faced as a father seeking custody and how to handle it. I am truly thankful and absolutely recommend him. He is reasonably priced, was kind, and understanding.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"John is a good man, and a good attorney. We were opposing counsel on a family law matter that was pretty ugly from the start, and John worked to turn the heat down. I welcome the opportunity for other cases with him, and will whole-heartedly recommend him when I have conflicts in the future."
