Thank you so much for your time and help me, you are the best in the state .

John Simpson has handled my family’s legal matters for several years with unwavering devotion. He has been extremely dedicated to us as he puts his heart and soul into his duties and fights for life changing results. An honorable and brilliant man, we couldn’t be happier with the ways in which he has gone exceedingly above and beyond for our family. With his diligent and faithful work ethic, John genuinely cares about making a positive difference in our lives and I can truly say that he is the biggest contributing factor to our overall success. I would strongly suggest Mr. Simpson to anybody who is searching for an attorney that will fight relentlessly for you until the very end. We are forever grateful for him.

I have never had an attorney who puts people before the money, as John does. Of course, he needs to be paid and should be paid top dollar but John doesn’t fit into the mold of a streotypical money-hungry/ cut-throat/ self-centered attorney. He’s wise and honest and will tell you the truth— not just what you want to hear— and, most of call, he actually cares and will take the time to listen and offer the best advice.

Very well versed with all aspects and potentialities with my case. Even while consulted on a last minute basis swapping council. Highly recommended!

This guy earns his money!!! He is worth every Penney and maybe even buying him a lunch ! He listens to what you have to say and gives you the correct information you need going forward. He’s very knowledgeable knows how’s things work in many areas and won’t just tell you what you want to hear. If you are looking for an awesome lawyer to fight for you in so many ways and keep you informed along the way this is the guy! Thank you so much John Simpson for helping Me and my family !!!

In January 2020 my deeply troubled daughter obtained a Protection from Harassment (PFH) order against me in Portland to stop all contact between me and her two children, with whom I had a wonderful relationship.  4 months later in May, at the height of Covid 19, I sent a birthday card and herbal tea to my granddaughter and 4 months after that my daughter insisted I be charged with a crime for that. After nearly 2 more years the district attorney’s office finally agreed to a deferred disposition agreement that would leave me free from a criminal record. However, this made my daughter, the so called victim of my birthday gift crime, more irate and she argued that I must have a criminal label and should be incarcerated (I have a full lifetime free of violence or criminal history). But my daughter's unfounded claims, with constant court / DA encouragement that she was a victim of everything, escalated even further beyond the absurd. The DA’s office wrote to "pull the proposal" and went on to demand I be deemed a criminal and be incarcerated.  At that point I contacted Attorney John Simpson. He patiently listened to the history and facts. John’s mind is razor sharp and he quickly understood the essence of what happened. His deep understanding of the Maine criminal courts and the politics of the DA’s office was exactly what I needed. Attorney Simpson had experience working with each of the three judges and four assistant district attorneys that ended up being involved my case. Attorney Simpson cut through things and explained that the DA could not renege on an agreement by trying to miscast it as a withdrawal of an offer. To make a long story short, he helped me draft a motion that forced the DA to reinstate the substance of the deal we had made. The Judge would not credit the lost time, but the vicious absurd criminal charges will be dismissed and I will have no permanent criminal record. I have worked with many attorneys. None are better than John, who combines the fast and sure battle instincts of an experienced, no-nonsense criminal defense attorney with civility, patience and political savvy.  John Simpson has very high personal integrity and is one of the finest human beings I have had the privilege of knowing. He was there when I needed him, it goes without saying that he has my highest recommendation and you may contact me if desired.

I came to John in a sad divorce with a lot of emotional lies and things happening that were not accurate as well as my ex-wife’s attorneys were really lousy, and dealing with lawyers that didn’t know what they’re doing really just hurt my ex-wife more as they dragged it out probably just to raise their fees. At that time I was hell-bent on proving the truth and John took the time to work with me and focus on what’s important, and his level of detail and knowledge of the court system, as well as the laws, made it so that by the end of everything I had exactly what I wanted and lost nothing. His level of caring is exactly what I needed to get my family through this horrible time for both sides. If you’re ever in the unfortunate situation, as I was getting divorced I highly recommend using John Simpson he deserves so much more then what I could ever give him.

I had the luck of having Attorney John Simpson be my divorce lawyer.  John was extremely patient and understanding and very detailed when working on my long and very complex case.  I am a physician and have four children.  My case involved international  assets. I was extremely impressed with John's knowledge and meticulous work. He insured that I took my time in making a decision every step of the way. He was very accessible and I never felt that he was motivated by any financial incentive. Words cannot express my gratitude and appreciation for his hard-work and kindness.  I strongly recommend John in a complex divorce case like mine.  I got what I believed was fair to me.  John worked with professionalism and wisdom in my case and with the lawyers of my ex-husband, whom were pressuring us to make hasty decisions.  He was prepared for any possible tactics of the other lawyers.  I am extremely happy with his service, and I highly recommend him. Thank you, John!  I will never forget your support!

I had an opportunity working together with Mr. Simpson on a case before the U.S. District Court for the District of Maine. Throughout the process, Mr. Simpson always showed his responsibility on the case, including meeting up with the adversary, attending the case strategy discussions, showing up on time at the Court room for arguments. Mr. Simpson demonstrated his care of client’s best legal interests and he is a good listener. Mr. Simpson is one of the best picks when looking for a representing attorney.

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!!!
