Hired Attorney Mrs Melissa Baugh

Let me start by saying I couldn't be more grateful! My attorney Melissa took care of me. As soon as I met her I knew I was in good hands. Over the last year and a half she fought for me, kept me up to date on every change in my case and was able to get criminal charges completely dismissed, I am very happy and grateful to her in that I have my life back again. No more of the nonsense hanging over my head. I definitely recommend when you go to MayesTelles PLLC that you ask for Melissa Baugh she will get it done!

Blake Mayes was extremely knowledgeable and professional. He explained complex issues and answered all of my questions thoroughly. I never doubted that he had my best interest at heart and I appreciate everything he did for me. Mine was a complex case marred by another attorney from a different firm. Blake and Al Richards resuscitated the case and obtained a great settlement for me in a very timely manner. I was so impressed that I have already referred another friends to them for a personal injury case. Thank you both!

I referred a family member to MayesTelles and insisted on asking for Mr.Simpson because of the extraordinary work they did, and the results spoke louder. From start to finish, their professionalism, expertise, and dedication were exemplary. Mr. Simpson demonstrated an in-depth understanding of my family members' case to him and I, offering clear explanations and strategic guidance every step of the way. Their attention to detail was impeccable, leaving no stone unturned in pursuit of a favorable outcome. What sets Mr. Simpson apart is not just his legal prowess but also his compassionate approach. They took the time to listen to my concerns in the past and recently gaved the only family member I have in Arizona the same experience. They provided realistic expectations, and always kept us informed and reassured throughout the process. Moreover, the entire team at MayesTelles deserves accolades for their support and seamless coordination.

My experience with MayesTelles was the best experience I’ve had with any attorney before. I had a class 1 misdemeanor from 2012. This was preventing me from obtaining occupational licenses. I had another attorney originally and they charged me for the set aside. They did nothing for 3 months. I was frustrated. When I first contacted the office of MayesTelles, I had someone spend several hours re-searching my case with me. Something my previous attorney did not do. We figured out eligibility right then and there. I was able to have MayesTelles immediately start working on my case. I spoke to Kaitlin, and she was very understanding when I had questions. Within one week she got my Set Aside request approved. This is normally a 3-4 month process. She had no problem answering any questions I had about the matter. She made time for me. I was treated with respect; they also had a sense of urgency towards the matter. This is turning into a life changing event for me.

Worst experience ever. I wish I had checked the BBB or reliable reviews. They take your money, a lot of it, and do the minimum. A public defender got me a better outcome before I hired a so called high powered lawyer at Mayes Telles. Waste of money. A big regret!

Hired Attorney Mr Chris Culbert

Same as the other reviews, He lied to me and threw me under the bus. It was a simple misdemeanor case. before I hired him the prosecutor offered a better outcome than I ended up with. Any public defender would have done better. I paid for a high powered lawyer from an expensive law firm, Mayes Telles; instead I got a blowhard who laughed at me all the way to the bank. Wish I had checked the BBB or simply asked Google Ai about Mayes Telles. BIG REGRETS.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
