Professional, honest, calm with an excellant assistant, Jeannie

Bevin Maxey has guided me through custody modification. The opposing legal team includes my ex, a former partner in a law firm, who manipulates. Bevin Maxey and his trusted legal assistance Jeannie are excellent, supportive, professional and diligent. They are easy to work with, are excellent communi...cators and reach out to do the right thing for all involved. I highly recommend Bevin Maxey and the Maxey Law Firm.

JOKE!!!!! Stay away

What a joke! I worked with him and another attorney in his office and had all kinds of charges that were no real. He tried to charge me over $2000.00 in interest for being late/ not paying my bill and after I confronted him on it he dropped it to $800.00 Really? Even after our case was closed (yes we... did win no thanks to them. I got records from three states proving my ex wife was a child abuser/ felon/ and moved twice with out informing me per our parenting plan. She agreed to settle when her attorney told her the judge would run her up the flag poll and she would loses all visitation)

Responsive, Intuitive and Committed

Bevan Maxey is by far the best attorney in Eastern Washington and possibly the entire state. His name alone strikes fear into opposing council. And yet, he simply does his job professionally without going into theatrics in court. He remains calm and collected under fire. This is most likely due to be...ing highly prepared. He is very busy, but when he commits to a case, he sees it through to the end making a thorough attempt to dot every 'i' and cross every 't'. He has an assistant who, no matter how much he pays her, she deserves a raise. She is on top of everything often returning emails or calls within a few minutes and never fails to remember an important reminder or to pass on a message. The most striking thing about Bevan is how personally he seemed to take my case. It seemed almost as if mine was the only one. If you want something done right, this is the guy you need to call.

Committed, Creative, Responsive, and Exceedingly Competent

Our visitation/custody case began as a relatively simply request of a high school age child for more visitation time. The opposing side, which had numerous connections within the legal system, fought tooth and nail creating significant confusion in the court and necessitating extremely competent leg...al representation and wisdom. This case involved not only the court, a guardian ad litem, but also police, therapists, and a number of community witnesses. In trial, we prevailed and our child was provided relief and support. I do not think this would have been achieved by a less-skilled or committed legal team. Bevan and his team were tireless in responding to each new diversion thrown at our case, as well as a series of unprecedented and certainly unanticipated initial actions by the court. As a client, I was faced with numerous lies, false accusations, and passive aggressive legal tactics. Bevan’s stellar reputation, especially in terms of his knowledge about the court as well as sensitivity to what is really best for a child in a hotly contested case, opened up crucial opportunities for us to present a strong case in court, but even more importantly, guided the process prior to court with a calm confidence and clear thinking that leveled all of the opposing threats, scare-tactics, and misinformation. Bevan’s assistant, Jeannie, was always responsive, emotionally supportive, interested, and engaged. Documents were well prepared, accurate, and written with tact and wisdom, always with the end-goal in mind which was child-centered rather than adversarial. As I observed Bevan in and out of court, I was reinforced at every turn that he holds a tremendous amount of respect in Spokane’s legal community and that this respect is well-earned and deserved. Our case became extremely difficult and convoluted because of the opposing side’s professional involvements with the court system. Lesser legal teams would have given up at numerous points. Bevan believed in the truth of our case as well as urgency of the matter for the child. He and his team were undaunted and never intimidated. I am extremely grateful for his skill and perseverance.

Amazing Legal Representation

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.

Family lawyer | Apr 04

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I had a client come to me after using Bevan on a domestic violence case that turned into a full blown divorce and custody battle. Bevan was very cooperative in helping me "get up to speed". In my work I drafted an appeal of the decision of the Commissioner before whom Bevan had argued previously. I listened to his arguments to this Commissioner. I found him to be calm and commanding, erudite and firm in his advocacy, even when the Commissioner was ruling against him and his client. I recommend him highly."
