Client Reviews

Tom G. May 14, 2020

Outstanding attorney, absolutely likable guy An outstanding AND likable attorney Phil is that rare person who is not only a skilled and detail-oriented attorney, he's as affable and down-to-earth as anyone you'd ever want to work with. He meticulously reviewed and analyzed everything--including the other attorney's draft court filings, in which found and corrected more than one error. He has a firm grasp of the law, but researches and makes sure he has the finer points down pat. Phil took the time to explain each step to me so that I understood what was at stake and what would be required. He remained pleasant and down-to-earth in all our dealings, including with the other side's attorney. He was appropriately respectful yet assertive in court. He achieved everything I wanted, and his fees are very reasonable. I'd recommend him in a heart beat to anyone looking for an attorney who is skilled in family law, insightful when it comes to human nature and straight-up enjoyable to work with.

Biography

Thank you for visiting my biography page on Justia. As an attorney and in life, I make it a point to get to know the people I come in contact with. I would like to let you get to know me a little better as you make the important decision on an attorney that fits your needs. I was raised in the small town of LaFayette, Georgia, and I am one of three children of Kenneth and Doris Maples. I attended Jacksonville State University in Alabama and obtained a degree in criminal justice. It was at Jacksonville State where I met my excellent wife, Emily, and we have been together ever since. Emily and I now reside in Prairieville, Louisiana, with our dogs, Scout and Stanley. I had aspired for several years to attend law school, but it was the continued encouragement of Emily and the perfect timing of God that gave me the opportunity in 2009. I graduated law school from LSU and passed the bar in 2012. Since graduation, I have worked in St. John Parish as an Assistant District Attorney, Ascension Parish as an Assistant District Attorney and started the Maples Law Office, LLC. I started The Maples Law Office, LLC to focus on Family Law Estate Planning and Personal Injury cases. I have experienced firsthand the great number of people that need quality legal advice in these practice areas. Whether you are planning for the future and need a will prepared, struggling with the present and need counsel on how to proceed in Divorce or you are injured due to the negligence of another, I would like to help. I strive daily to provide diligent, affordable representation. Please contact me to schedule a telephone or in person meeting to discuss your legal questions.
