Amazing and Professional

I worked with John for my divorce and custody arrangement for me and my 3 children. He helped me so much through that difficult time in my life. I refer him to anyone I know that needs a lawyer for these situations. My number one and only referral! Every case is different, and he approaches your case... with what you need! Everyone I’ve referres him to even has good things to say about John! Call him!

The Absolute Best!

John took on my custody case that turned ugly quick, like most. I needed someone who could navigate this process effortlessly yet confidently. I got it all with John... He's the Absolute Best!

Wolf in sheep’s clothing!!!

I went to see Mr. Maier in April of 2007 for help in completing a child support order. He met with me (consult fee of $50) and stated he could help me with the paperwork to make the order legal. I paid him $250 that day and was going to pay him an additional $500 over my next couple of paydays. I ...was sent a billing statement that said he I had $190 dollars left in trust do to work he had done for me. Although the only work that was done was us talking for my initial consult. I continually called and asked for a call back so that I could fwd paper work to him. My calls went unanswered and he never returned my calls. I subsequently retained a different attorney to get my work done for me. This man ripped me off and didn’t care less about anything we discussed. To date Mr. Maier has not returned my calls or returned my money.

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."
