Pleased with my lawyer

Divorce happens. I needed a professional I could trust and believe in. Bevan came well recommended to me and his professional services were much appreciated. I felt ably represented. His Legal Assistant Jeannie was nothing short of awesome, handling all the dangling , swirling details with ease and c...ompassion. I would recommend using Maxey Law Office to anyone. If any other legal representation is needed I have Bevan's card in my wallet and will not hesitate to give him and Jeannie the highest recommendation.

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!

Criminal Defense

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.

Posted by anonymous | July 25, 2012 | Child Custody

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.

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."
