Couldn’t have asked for a better attorney

Bevan works hard and genuinely cares about his clients. He was patient during my family law process and I appreciated his fair and thoughtful insight into my case. He took my thoughts and opinions seriously and answered all questions I had during the court process. I appreciated how he doesn’t like t...o waste your time. He is a man of integrity. I can’t say enough good things about him. I’d recommend him to anyone looking for an honest and respectable attorney in the Spokane area.

Get what you pay for.

I'm not going to say Mr. Maxey was the cheapest attorney I met with; but I did feel the most confident with him concerning my divorce. He's been doing this for over 25 years. He doesn't make promises that he can't keep, and tells you what to expect. It was 14 months of hell for me, but Bevan and h...is assistant Jeannie made the process easier, and I was extremely happy about the outcome. As I said in the title, you get what you pay for. If your divorce is like mine, then you will need a great attorney.

Highly recommend

From the first meeting with Bevan I knew my divorce would be handled with professionalism and integrity. . Bevan expertise made the course of a long drawn out divorce continue to more forward when opposing party wanted to stall. Both he and his assistant Lexie moved my case forward and handled every... situation and obstacle thrown their way. . Lexie was a guiding light during my stressful time. She kept me updated, answered all my questions about proceedings, paperwork, the court process and time lines. Lexie response to emails and phone calls was expeditious. Bevan did not miss anything in my case. He is extremely knowledgeable and a excellent attorney, I highly recommend Maxey law office. . .

Extremely professional, highly recommended, made my case a priority!

I hired Bevan a little under a year ago, from day one Bevan and his paralegal Lexie have made my case a priority. Bevan Maxey and his law firm came highly recommended, with a very respected name in Spokane. They have gone above and beyond to represent me, always staying in direct contact, on top of c...ourt and required meetings. Lexie responds to my emails and phone calls immediately, while Bevan has been available and attended every meeting with me. I have always felt comfortable and welcomed by Bevan and Lexie through this difficult time. I can not say enough great things about this firm, anyone retaining Bevan and Lexie won't be let down!

Neglectful and Money Hungry

I hired Bevan as he came highly recommended and his family has a great name in Spokane. From the beginning he seemed to only be interested in money. I paid him $3500.00 to help with a child custody case. Not once did he ever act in a proactive manner to help the case along. I had to tell him and his ...assistant when and where the court hearings should be and what needed to be done. Lexie his assistant never answers emails or calls back. She acts as if she better then everyone and that any questions you might have a just a nuisance to her precious time. After 1 week of no answer to calls or emails I went to the office to only be scolded by her for showing up without permission even though I had paid $3500.00 to fight my case. My case was never treated as a priority and Bevan would always reschedule due to other cases being more important. I had to argue that I would not reschedule for the 4th time to actually get him to show up. He kept rescheduling with no regards for the time I was missing with my child. In the end he did absolutely not for my case and stated that I owed him money. He charged me $3500.00 for him to show up to court 3 times and file papers 3 times and have my ex served. We had to type all of the statements and do all of the leg work and research to prove my ex's lies. He claimed to have a good re-poor with the judge but it was very apparent that he did not. He would show up to court with absolutely no idea what was transpiring and needed me to fill him in with only 3 minutes till court started. In my opinion he is very unprofessional and is only concerned with getting your money.

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."
