Christopher Xavier Maher

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 r...etained 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 was arrested for a DWI. I had never been in trouble before and didn’t know what to expect. Chris was so helpful to get me through this ordeal. He is an intelligent and gregarious lawyer. He will help you through anything and also offer his reassurance. He makes you feel like you have someone on you...r side and takes care of everything

Mr. Maher was very professional. He always got back to me and kept me informed of my hearing dates and what I was to expect when the dates came. Also got me some very favourable outcomes in my cases. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a criminal or family matter that needs to be resolv...ed.

I don't understand how people left bad reviews. Probably because they didn't listen to Chris. I had many criminal cases pending on me. Dwi and drug felony cases. Chris told me exactly what to do and where to go. Chris made me get sober which he can relate to as well being a sober person. Not easy b...tw. Not only did he get me off my cases which took a year and half. He helped me get my life back. Which I owe him everything for. He had the entire court room and the judge laughing. He put the system on trial. An Outstanding lawyer!!! Changed my life forever!!!! He made me feel comfortable and made it easy. Thanks
