Patrick Erney Maher

Mr. Maher came to our rescue when our family found ourselves encountering the court system for the very first time when our son was charged with three serious crimes related to a traffic misunderstanding in a Maryland parking lot. The charges involved potential jail time and major fines. Mr. Mayer p...atiently explained the laws and the process, and conducted thorough research. From the very beginning, he expressed compassion (a real contrast with other attorneys we interviewed) and make clear throughout that he was a firm advocate for our son’s interests. In the end, prosecutors agreed that the police had filed egregious charges and presented a joint proposal to the judge for a very minor fine related to our son’s status as a permit holder (not yet a licensed driver). The judge concurred, a trial was averted and our son maintained his clean driving record. We could not have been more grateful for Mr. Mayer’s patience, thoroughness, advocacy, and reasonable fee.

I am forever grateful for Pat Maher's incredible work with my case. He has my highest recommendation for anyone seeking representation for a DUI charge. He knew his stuff and it resulted in the best possible outcome - not guilty. I consulted many lawyers and most wanted to go through the motions o...f a PBJ. Pat was willing to scrutinize my case and potentially take it to trial, if he believed it would be in my favor. (He ultimately did). Pat was expensive, but I felt not selecting him could end up in a missed oppritunity to make this go away. (I was right). The prosecutor gave me a terrible plea bargain and we proceed with a trial. Pat was beyond prepared and had multiple points of conflict in my case. It was amazing to watch, the judge was even impressed, stating, "whatever you're paying him, it's not enough." I am forever thankful for his service. Highly recommended!

My case was nothing short of circumstances and craziness. I had been traveling all day and had a drink in the airport early in the day. I finally returned home and had to pick up my car. I was pulled over for alleged swerving when I actually was not paying attention to the rode because I was trying t...o other things. It was the dead of winter and I was arrested for DUI near 295/695 by the state trooper. I was in shock. Luckily for me the interaction was recorded and I blew less than 0.07. I immediately search the net and came across Pat Maher. What a heaven sent. He is calm, knowledgeable, and ready for war. I had so much on the line with my professional licenses and personal life. We went to court for over a year due to Anne Arundel County courts not having it together. I learned quickly I was pulled over by the Batman and Robin of DUI arrest. The report written did not match the tape. I sounded like some raging drunk on paper. Pat Maher was able to challenge the arrest, he even had the weather details that day. In the end the case was thrown out completely and I am pretty sure they had an air solid case against me if it had not been for him. He is totally worth the money. He is the DUI King. Even judges defer to him for his knowledge. HE IS THE ONLY REASON MY CASE WAS DISMISSED. I had a friend with the same issue and he was sentenced to jail, rehab, and fines with his 500.00 lawyer. I am telling the process is difficult but he you follow his instructions, you will deserving of any outcome. I can not thank him enough !!! Thank you again for giving me my life back

Patick Maher is by far the best choice for DUI/DWI defenses. After meeting with several other attorneys for consultations, Patrick certainly made me feel the most comfortable. As this was my first offense, I was nervous and scared as we went through all the possible penalties, but assured me that he'...d do everything he could to get me the best possible outcome. At the end of the day I got PBJ and a few hours of community service! He had advised me from day one on the best course to get leniency from the court and it worked. As for price, it was extremely reasonable (I've always heard that DUI's are insanely expensive) and worth every penny for the attention to detail, and the knowledge of the court system he has. God forbid any of my friends get DUI's in the future, but if so I am certainly referring them to Mr. Maher.

I was charged with a DUI and a DWI. I found Mr. Maher on this site. I went to his office he made me feel so comfortable and I have bad anxiety with new settings and people but through the whole process he put my mind at ease and is very intelligent with the laws and is also very thorough with your ca...se. He doesn't miss anything at all! He knew his judges well and in the end we got the best judge to pass judgement on my case. I really should of gotten the worse punishment because I blew a .24 but with Mr. Mahers help I got 18 months supervised probation and nothing else. He is really amazing and is affordable. He worked with me with his price and gave me a flat rate and that's all I had to pay. You really can't do better than this lawyer! I encourage anyone dealing with what I had to deal with to really think about hiring his services to help you get through it. I promise you won't regret it.
