Bevan Jerome Maxey

We had a situation arise where we needed a defense attorney and Bevan was highly recommended by some other top notch attorneys we knew out of the area. We found he and his assistant Lexie to be professional, fair and absolutely competent. Bevan was very communicative throughout the process and we fel...t very safe and secure placing our legal situation in his hands. We highly recommend him.

I first met Bevan and his legal assistant Lexie back in 2002. Because of some choices I had made I needed a defense attorney. I had heard from friends that Bevan was the best. I am very happy I listened to them, they were right Bevan and his legal assistant Lexie are the best. And the charges associa...ted with this case were dropped. Now let’s fast forward 10 years. I was going through a divorce. So I called Lexie (I had called her every year on July 14th to let her know that I was still doing good) I told her I was in need because my husband wanted a divorce. She set up an appointment and we proceeded. Bevan and Lexie were both always willing to help and answer my questions. Divorce is hard but in my opinion mine ended well, it was nice to have them on my team. Bevan was also used for defense for my daughter’s as well, and like with my case 11 years ago we are very happy with the outcome. I felt very secure knowing my children were in the hands of the best. I have most recently hired Bevan for the 3rd party custody of my 2 grandchildren. Again I am grateful for the support I have with them. I know that I and my family are in good hands. When we need them Bevan and Lexie are the best!! And we did get the 3rd party action for my grand children.

I was so overwhelmed at the time and Bevan came in and was so supportive, knowledgeable, quickly put my mind at ease. He kept me up to date throughout this process and was always available to give advice and counsel. This allayed my anxieties and fears about the entire proceedings. I had a lot of... questions about what to expect and Bevan always answered them in a way I could understand and though very busy with other cases, he would always take time for me. I will always remember Bevan and his brother, Bill, as two of the helpful men I've met in my life. I can't think of enough good things to say about them.

I had a family law matter, Bevan was some where else preoccupied. Only acted after it was to late if at all. Forgot to show up for 3 hearings, Briefings and info were 5 min before court. (Upon him not being there 5 min before, had to call him up and he was 200 miles away in a different city. He did s...end a emergency backup atty 15 min late for court which was very embarrassing for me and the backup atty, other circumstances he had a replacement atty shortly after I called him from the court room which I was very disappointed about ) It seems that he Rides on his fathers name and reputation and is overly focused on the monetary potential of the case. Interest and performance are directly related to how much money you have. Positive side and there's only one, he has some minimal clout with some Judges and his office is just a couple blocks from the courthouse. He was never prepared and didn't even argue the facts that I submitted, It seemed he relied on volume, impromptu standard procedure tactics, and on his legal secretary (Holley) excessively to bail him out, She was absolutely overwhelmed to the point of being unproductive. She did try very hard to fix the mess. I am also partly to blame for expecting support and advice about law and not being more knowledgeable, persistent and proactive myself. Anyone getting any attorney should at least know the basics of law and their rights, so they know what to expect and ask for. I had no knowledge whatsoever and thought that's what you hire an attorney for (They don't have time to teach you law! Prepare yourself before you get an attorney either online or through the library). If you let someone do it for you, they're going to do it to you! So know what you need and want before your in front of the judge with your future riding in your judges and attorneys hands.
