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.

Persistent and delivers results!

After exhausting searches for an attorney who would have helped us to resolve a criminal/civil case, we finally were able to locate Bevan Maxey, who worked tenaciously over a period of at least 9 months to bring our case to a final resolve - dismissed with no prejudice. We consulted too many attorn...eys prior to speaking with Bevan and have to admit that he was the only one who actually calmed us down assuring us that he will bring us to a finish line. Other attorneys (prior to our conversation with Bevan) simply created too much confusion or tried to simply scare us. It took Bevan 9 months of work... The results? The case was dismissed with no prejudice! Bevan and his team deliver results! They are courteous, fast at communicating with their clients, professional! We will always recommend Bevan Maxey's service to anyone who seeks help to get out of some of the most difficult and confusing legal situations. Our case was a mix of civil/criminal nature and quite a few attorneys simply did not want to "touch" our case. Bevan quickly figured out how to navigate such "landscape" and efficiently delivered first stage result (dismissed without prejudice) and final resolution a few months later (dismissed with prejudice). All that while working across of The State! A+++ Thank You Bevan Maxey (and team)!!!

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.

Trusted & Respected. I would recommend Bevan, and have to any one needing a great lawyer.

I first met Bevan and his legal assistant Lexie back in 2002. Because of some choices I had made I needed a defense attorney. I had heard from friends that Bevan was the best. I am very happy I listened to them, they were right Bevan and his legal assistant Lexie are the best. And the charges associa...ted with this case were dropped. Now let’s fast forward 10 years. I was going through a divorce. So I called Lexie (I had called her every year on July 14th to let her know that I was still doing good) I told her I was in need because my husband wanted a divorce. She set up an appointment and we proceeded. Bevan and Lexie were both always willing to help and answer my questions. Divorce is hard but in my opinion mine ended well, it was nice to have them on my team. Bevan was also used for defense for my daughter’s as well, and like with my case 11 years ago we are very happy with the outcome. I felt very secure knowing my children were in the hands of the best. I have most recently hired Bevan for the 3rd party custody of my 2 grandchildren. Again I am grateful for the support I have with them. I know that I and my family are in good hands. When we need them Bevan and Lexie are the best!! And we did get the 3rd party action for my grand children.

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.

"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."
