Christopher Xavier Maher

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 a...nd 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.

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.

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.

For almost 10 yrs, I have hired Mr.Maher to handle various types of cases for myself and others. Not only was he timely and professional, he handled things with caring and understanding. I have always been able to count on him for legal matters as well as legal advice. My experience with Mr.Maher has... been very welcoming. His office is very inviting and staff was very pleasant and welcoming upon walking in the door. He handles every case with love and care for the client. Mr.Maher is a stand up guy, inside and outside of the office. I would personally recommend him to anyone in need of legal council. To touch base on him also being a legal aid lawyer, I had him as a legal aid lawyer as well as hiring him and all the same, he continued to maintain that happy, caring, dilligent manner as if you’d retained him. I will continue to retain Mr.Maher for my every legal service need. He is for the people. I’ve seen a few clients give bad reviews saying he is all about the money. Definetly not the case at all. This is his profession, of course he will take your money! Lol. I have never experienced any type of unprofessional behavior from Me.Maher or his employees. Keep doing the great work you do for us, the People!

I hired Mr. Maher to assist me with a visitation issue in family court. He was recommended by another attorney because has practiced in Putnam County for over 30 years. He is experienced in the legal system and is there for you when you need him. I know this because I call and email with questions co...nstantly and he always does what he can to facilitate what I need. If you need someone experienced who knows the system, give him a call. Despite what the previous review stated, he never asks me for money unless I bring it up. If you can't afford a real attorney, request legal aid. They have to get paid just like you and I do. I know Chris has my back and he's touch....he won't tolerate negative BS, harassment or bullying. If you want someone to stand up for you, he's your guy.
