Amazing lawyer

Chris puts his all into his work. He did good by me.if I needed him I could text him no matter what he cares for his clients.

Best attorney in Putnam County NY

Christopher is the best family law attorney I have ever worked with. From our first meeting, he explained everything to me in terms I could easily understand and was always very responsive when I had questions outside of our meetings.

Excellent Representation, and Extremely Fair Rates for Criminal Defense

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 thin...k 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.

Highly recommend

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.

Family Court Matters ~ Ask Chris for help

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.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
