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.

Competent and high knowledgable

I would highly recommend John Maier. I have used his legal services off and on over the last 7+ years. He is thorough and timely and will walk you through all the necessary steps and provide outstanding advice and counsel. One of the most important points to mention is that John has been successfu...l in securing a "win" in each of my legal situations.

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."

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
