Iam not usually leaving reviews but I’ll do that one. I was looking for advices for two cases. Family court and criminal court. I tried to get an attorney from everywhere so he’ll can help me. The problem is the most of the attorneys out there they tried to get the money first and then probably when you really need them they disappearing. I called mr Simpson and I realized from day 1 he is looking out for me first. He was there anytime I needed him even if I was calling him really early at the morning when he was driving for work. He explained everything I was in need just the time I was needing him. He have a lot of experience about law. He was able to help me about criminal and family court and he gave me the best way to get through both cases. If you need an attorney who will really take care of you just the time you need him so you’re not gonna loose important deadlines I recommend mr Simpson. He stay there as long as you need him to get you step by step out of this stressful situation. If all attorneys were like him this world would be a better world. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I’ll always be grateful for you.

Don't be fooled by John's easy-going manner. He handled a divorce for me with a very uncooperative defendant who used delaying tactics. John put a quick end to it. John's fees are reasonable, but more important he uses your money very efficiently.

My abusive ex-husband put all our assets in his name and (without my permission) gave our house to his daughter. When I asked for a divorce, his lawyer told me I would get nothing. For a while, it looked like I might end up homeless and penny-less. Thankfully, I found a smart attorney. Attorney John Simpson did some research and discovered the deed to our house was not properly transferred, and that the house actually belonged to me. As a result, my ex-husband quickly agreed to pay me a substantial sum of money. I highly recommend that you call John Simpson if you need a lawyer. He is compassionate, honest and patient … and a really good negotiator too. John was very professional and helped me in every way a lawyer good! We won the the case do to his diligence and perseverance . I am very proud to be his client and you will not go wrong with person!! He is kind and very patient and new exactly what he was doing!! I was blessed to have him on my side!!!

I talked with Mr. Simpson about my case as a consult and he went the extra mile for me. After hearing all the pertinent facts he guided me to the best solution. He helped me keep my case alive when all seemed lost. I am extremely grateful he used his expertise to help me. Save yourself some time and call Mr. Simpson first.

He spoke to me for 45 minutes and diligently walked me through my available options without ever asking me to pay a fee or commit to anything. Mr. Simpson seems to be a great communicator and genuine individual. I am glad I spoke to him, I feel like many people can benefit from his wisdom.

Attorney John Simpson represented me in a very difficult divorce. The first thing my ex-wife did was file a bogus PFA (protection from abuse) complaint. She and her lawyer were on a mission to take away all my money and my children too, but thankfully Attorney Simpson had my back. John got the PFA dropped. Then John showed the judge that my ex-wife’s financial demands were unreasonable. In the end, I walked away with the better deal. Thanks to John, I got to keep the house and, more importantly, my children live with me. I highly recommend that you call Attorney Simpson if you ever find yourself dealing with a PFA or you need a good divorce and child custody lawyer.

Attorney John Simpson helped me regain custody of my two children. I was teaching in China when my sister attempted to grab custody of my children by filing an emergency guardianship case in probate court. As a result, I had to quit my job immediately and fly back to the United States. When I arrived in Maine my sister insisted that my children stay living with her and filed a protection from abuse complaint (PFA) against me, making numerous untrue allegations. Attorney Simpson represented me at the PFA hearing and convinced the judge to order my sister to return my children. My children and I then went to Georgia to live. That wasn’t the end of our troubles, however. My sister and her attorney relentlessly pursued the guardianship case for six more months. Attorney Simpson fought back though and eventually got that case dismissed too. As well as being a strong advocate, an excellent negotiator and skilled trial lawyer, John is a genuinely upstanding person. I highly recommend Attorney Simpson to anyone involved in a challenging case, and I am grateful to have met him.

It has been quite a year since I first contacted Attorney John Simpson for help with my deteriorating marital situation. I had just initiated a cooling off period with my ex-wife and while I hoped at that time to keep the marriage intact, I knew that this would only be possible if my financial future would be protected. I asked John for advice, and his suggestion of a post nuptial agreement gave me the time that I needed and protected me financially while I figured out what to do next. A while later, when I surrendered to the inevitable, John helped me to navigate the divorce process by writing a settlement agreement that was fair and that would stand the test of time. While he offered to handle the entire process, I appreciate that he also gave me the option of doing some of the basic and routine paperwork and court filing myself so that his fee would be as low as possible, while still being at my side as my ex-wife and I were in court. Most importantly, when the inevitable unexpected curve ball came my way, the settlement agreement indeed proved to be iron clad. John's response to this most recent crisis was immediate and his advice was once again right on point. John actually designed a full, final and absolute release that completely deflected this curve ball in a way that was very financially advantageous to me. In brief, John consistently listened to my concerns, promptly answered my questions, proposed solutions that protected my interests for every issue that I encountered, and his fees exceeded my expectations for being fair and reasonable. I highly recommend John Simpson to anyone who needs a good lawyer and I would ask him to represent me in the future without reservation or hesitation.

Attorney John Simpson helped me to get primary custody of my three children. John Simpson was a compassionate and dedicated advocate for me in complex court proceedings that dragged on for a year. I highly recommend John to any parent involved in a divorce, child custody or child support case. When my case began I was working with another attorney but I did not feel that he was supportive or advocating enough on my behalf. So, after having a friend recommend him, I contacted attorney John Simpson to asked him to be my lawyer and I was very satisfied with how he advised, supported and advocated for me.

Two years ago John was a lawyer of the day for me in a criminal matter. He has since represented me in criminal, civil, and family court. He went up against the district attorney, the attorney general, and a very pricey well know lawyer and won every case. He is currently representing my family in a real estate matter. He's always easy to get a hold of and I can talk directly to him instead of leaving a message with a secretary and waiting to hear back. He is very down to earth, and well versed in many different parts of the law. He is great at looking at things from the other parties perspective and seeing what is necessary to win a case. He helped me look at situations calmly and rationally in a time where it seemed like everything was going wrong. His honest approach is one of the reasons our family keeps coming back to him. I can't say enough good things about this man.
