Christopher Xavier Maher

I reached out to Chris to help with a very sensitive family court matter. Chris made sure we knew what to expect from the process & made sure we felt supported. While we wish we didn’t have to go through our ordeal, I’m so glad we had Chris to represent us.

When I got into some trouble last year, the first person I thought to call was Christopher X Maher. Growing up in Carmel and the surrounding areas there are few names you familiarize yourself with, and Mr. Maher is one of them. The amount of times I've heard or seen his name makes it hard to not think of it when you need a good attorney. Chris has been part of the community long enough where just about everyone knows who he is in some sort of way. That is a very important part of his representation, because all the people you will inevitably come to interact with at the judicial level, are on a first name basis with Chris. So when it comes time to plead your case and strike a deal, He is the person I'd want on my side. So I'm in trouble, I find Chris' number and call him to schedule an appointment. He was able to meet me the same day to discuss what my next move would be. Chris is a no BS kind of Attorney, which is just the type of Attorney you want to have telling you what sort of trouble you're in and how he's going to try and keep you out of it. He is honest and fair, and very knowledgeable of the justice system. His rates are fair, and he's genuinely a good person who tries to do right by those who have done wrong. The whole process was very easy and he kept me informed of everything I needed to do. If I was ever in trouble again I would not hesitate one moment to have Christopher X Maher represent me.

When i met with Chris Maher and told him about my case I knew he was the one for me by the way he took interest, looked me directly in the eyes, gave me good advice. Not only did we win the case, he made me feel proud of myself and all y accomplishments. Thank you Chris!!!!!

Christopher Maher was recommended by a girlfriend, and Im so glad I chose him to represent me. Kind, considerate, but also straight to the point! Not only was his representation eloquent, but he became someone I could confide in. Trustworthy, and highly suggested. Would re-hire him in a heartbeat!

This is the third time I have used Chris. The most recent case was a charge of harassment against me, and 2 others were for defense of two my sons. In each case, he got the charges resolved with a dismissal, with all charges dropped. He gives a price upfront and he sticks to it. He never asked for more money after the case was resolved.

Chris was great to work with and without a doubt made me feel I was now in the right hands. I had been hit by a car walking across a street my last lawyer could not get anywhere and dragged it out for a year. But when I finally was introduced to Chris on our first meeting I felt the professionalism and clear understanding of how he was going to handle my case. I knew I was in the right place and it would finally be resolved. I would recommend his office to anyone! Thanks Chris.

I’ve worked with Chris for several years. Developed a friendship that will last a lifetime. Very professional and talented with the law.

As a retired chief of police, I became acquainted with a multitude of high profile criminal attorneys during my career, including Chris, and his dad who also was a highly regarded trial attorney. When a close family member became involved in a criminal matter in Putnam County, I called Chris, and retained him to represent my relative. During the months it took to resolve the matter, I became Close with him, and very impressed with his friendship, commitment, legal expertise, ,experience and respect he commanded from other attorneys, court personnel, judges and the district attorney’s office. Chris navigated the complexities of the case with confidence and exceptional effectiveness, achieving an exceptionally Positive and favorable resolution in the matter. We couldn’t have been more pleased with the outcome. Accordingly , I can unhesitatingly recommend Chris to anyone seeking the services of an attorney who is at the top of their field. Chris treats his clients, and their family members with respect, compassion and dignity. His abilities in the court room and in the process of negotiating a resolution distinguishes him as one of the most effective and successful trial attorneys in the Hudson Valley. In addition to an excellent reputation Chris enjoys an extensive history of successfully representing clients in a myriad of complex and serious legal matters. He unquestionably one of the best.

I hired Chris Maher last year on a recommendation from another attorney, which was based on his expertise and experience for my particular need. Chris was straight up and no nonsense, and he got the job done. He explained options, and was patient answering my questions. Based on my response he layed out what would likely happen, and that is what happened. Chris did his best to put me at ease, and his staff was great. I absolutely recommend Christopher X Maher.

Will fight and go to the ends of the earth for you. Intense, brutally honest, straightforward, but heart is always in the right place. Phenomenal lawyer and highly recommended to anyone.
