An attorney with integrity

Bevan is a really fantastic attorney. I originally hired him because of his reputation in the Spokane area for being a man of integrity and true to it, at every turn, people like Bevan because he treats them with respect and kindness. Bevan is kind-hearted, tells it to you straight and comes to cou...rt prepared to fight for you. He can sometimes be short and to the point, but it's because he doesn't want to waste your time. My favorite thing about Bevan though is that he's honest - he presents your case the best that he can, but he doesn't lie and he doesn't stretch the truth in order to do it. Bevan and Holly worked together on my case to make sure that my concerns were addressed and that everything was in order. I especially appreciate that Holly takes the required time to proof-read court documents, as she found a lot of "errors" the opposing attorney had put into the proposed court documents for our case. Holly was able to change the document wording to be accurate before the documents were filed and created a mess. Lexie (another paralegal, I believe) is also amazing - she provides super fast responses and detailed answers to questions you may have. I have hired Bevan and Holly twice to handle my many legal proceedings and am thankful to have them in my corner.

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.

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.

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.

Very happy with Bevan Maxey

We had a situation arise where we needed a defense attorney and Bevan was highly recommended by some other top notch attorneys we knew out of the area. We found he and his assistant Lexie to be professional, fair and absolutely competent. Bevan was very communicative throughout the process and we fel...t very safe and secure placing our legal situation in his hands. We highly recommend him.

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."
