Bevan Jerome Maxey

Cant even say enough! Great, great legal representation. Always on the ball, on time, knowledgable and respectful. Bevan worked miracles for my husband and I on several different occasions. We will be forever grateful. His assistant Lexie was a Godsend! What a great team. I HIGHLY reccomend Bevan and... his office.

Lexie, one of his assistants is absolutely hopeless. Do not expect her to help in your case. Don't expect help from her with how the law works or what are the best tactics to take in your divorce or what you might be forgetting or what would be helpful to you. If you are a lawyer yourself then they w...ill be great for typing up your motions etc., but if not, you will be on your own. Expected to know the law and what you ahould and shouldn't be doing. Lexie also sends reems of useless paperwork to opposing lawyers for their client to fill out and then does absolutely nothing with this information other than tick off the other side. If you are a normal person they will not be helpful or proactive with your case. Bevan meets with you only minutes before your hearings, doesn't remember or seem to take your situation seriously. I basically did all of the work myself and Bevan, along with Lexie, forgot or failed to address very important issues in the case. They are a very "after the fact" firm. I did manage to come out of it ok, only because I ended up doing a lot of research on my own, but that can only help so much. I am not a Lawyer, so I missed a lot of things that should have been a no brainer had the firm been helping the way you expect them to. I really believe things could have been much better and less stressful if they were much more proactive, had a game plan already laid out for their clients so that everything was covered and helped their clients BEFORE court and before issues were out of hand. They assume you know what should be done. They don't lead you through the process with all of the bases covered. And they allow you to waste valuable time and money on things that don't matter or won't even be discussed in court. They seem to be flying by the seat of their pants at every turn. Very disappointing considering they came highly recommended.

Handled my child custody relocation case in 2009 very poorly and seemed far more interested in money that getting a fair and expedient judgement. Paralegal (Jeannie) was unresponsive and did not follow directions. I was billed 2 hours to copy and paste a letter that I wrote and was then asked to ...number the pages because she couldn't figure it out. Used vulgarities about the other party in private conversations, but didn't back up the bravado with strong action in the courtroom. I did win the case on merit but don't feel that Bevan Maxey had anything to do with it; in fact, moments before the judge made her ruling, he indicated that "we" had lost.

Bevan forgot to withdraw after I was charged with contempt and had gone to court. I moved to Idaho and had my attorney in Idaho file for a venue change and permission to move with my children to another state not realizing that a year ago he had never withdrew leaving me wide open to be accused of be...ing underhanded by Idaho courts and losing jurisdiction to Washington and ultimately losing all together my children.
