Christopher Xavier Maher

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 mo...re money after the case was resolved.

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.

Chris has gone above and beyond in helping me with my ongoing child custody case. As these cases can take some time, he has guided my family and I through it all. He is respectful and courteous. He will tell you as it is up front without sugar coating. In court, he does not take any nonsense. He has... 30 plus years experience and it will show in court. I am extremely happy and satisfied I have hired Chris as my lawyer to represent me.
