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. . .

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.

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.

Mr. Bevan Maxey - "Great Attorney"

I hired Mr. Bevan Maxey, who was highly recommended by another well respected Spokane attorney. As a professional who earns a good income, I needed to know that I was being represented by a very knowledgeable attorney. My case involved a complicated family law matter 3 years after my divorce. The ...original divorce had taken two years of litigation and was very contentious and costly to me. To allow time to pay off massive debts after the divorce decree, I had filed a Chapter 13 bankruptcy which allows five years to pay off the debt. This precipitated numerous lawsuits from the ex-spouse that took close to 3 years to settle since many were frivolous and far reaching. As soon as the ink was dry on the Bankruptcy proceedings, an attempt was made to force continued alimony payments. There were loads of documents filed by opposing with great amounts of misinformation. Since there had been so much litigation through both the divorce and the Bankruptcy proceedings it became a very complicated legal issue. Mr. Maxey and his assistant Jeannie did an outstanding job of weeding through the massive amount of information and misinformation on this case. They did not miss a single detail, and provided great examples of case law to support our position and put a stop to this continuous litigation by a disgruntled spouse. Mr. Maxey and his staff were always very responsive to any phone calls or emails. They kept on top of the case from day one. It is obvious that the judge and other attorney's have a high regard for Mr. Maxey and his legal expertise. Mr. Maxey's billing is straight forward and honest. I would not hesitate to contact Mr. Bevan Maxey in the future for any legal matter.

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."
