Patrick Erney Maher

I retained Mr. Maher as my attorney for a criminal matter. I could have potentially have faced serious incarceration for this. He went above and beyond in my case and because of his extensive knowledge in criminal law, as well as how to navigate the Maryland legal system the outcome of my case was am...azing. I was preparing for jail and am an out of state resident, throughout the entire time he was my lawyer he kept me up to date and informed every step of the way. He was always on top of my case and readily available if I ever had any questions or needed to talk. He made me feel comfortable as possible during that time and all said and done his attention to my case and myself as I client resulted in an outcome of zero jail time, when in fact thats exactly where I would be if I had not hired capable representation. If you are in a bind with the law you will find no better than Mr. Patrick Maher. He will fight for you and your rights every step of the way. I have not one complaint or issue that negatively reflects him as an attorney and highly regard him and his professional ability.

Patrick Maher is an amazing lawyer. I called him because my daughter has had several criminal cases over the years. Pat was able to help out, getting her the least possible sentence/probation that she could get. He is truly a miracle worker. I know exactly who to call if we ever need an attorney agai...n. I WOULDN'T USE ANYONE ELSE!

Pat Maher is truly the best lawyer I have ever consulted. He is very well prepared, trustworthy, honest, and "most important" intelligent. Pat knows the law and prepared my case perfectly. I am 100 percent confident if you need an attorney, Pat Maher is the lawyer to use. Bravo Zulu Pat, you are ...the best.

We all enjoy having a beer or some drinks at the company happy hour, during cookouts or a night out, however when you are pulled over by a cop and charged with DUI that is when the reality of your bad judgment kicks in. I can’t find the right words to express my sincere gratitude to Pat Maher, for th...e candor and professionalism he attached to my DUI case. I was charged with a DUI in Maryland and the usual slew of other charges in May 2012, two months after starting a new job. For me the implications of this DUI charge were far reaching because as a conditional green card holder this could have an adverse impact on removal of my conditional status. Additionally it put my new job at risk and created significant embarrassment for my family. In carrying out my research on lawyers I wanted to find someone who had an in depth understanding of the DUI process who also understand the complexity my immigration status added to my DUI charges. After narrowing down my list and speaking with several I eventually went to see Pat and following my initial meeting with him my inner voice told me to go with Pat. Mr Maher handled both my MVA and criminal hearings and I have nothing but praise for his professionalism and knowledge of the law. During the MVA hearing Pat was able to argue my case and which resulted in the charges being dismissed and I was able to get my driver’s license back. My criminal case was originally scheduled for November 2012 however at Pat’s request my case was rescheduled to February 2013. Initially I was disappointed that I could not get this over with to enable me get on with my life however in hindsight I am glad I respected my attorney’s decision. During the final court hearing Pat made sure I understood the process by explaining the entire process to me and arguing my case to the DA intelligently; I can’t explain how tense I was throughout the process but I was pleasantly surprised when Pat called me and said we should go a pay a fine for negligent driving and that was it. While I was not let of the hook completed, I cannot begin to explain how the successful outcome of my case positively impacted a job offer I had while the case was ongoing. Even though Pat may not ‘get you off’ for all the charges that will brought he will work extra hard so that you get the most favorable outcome that will be least detrimental based on his understanding of your circumstances. Some attorneys will offer you a cheap and easy way out by recommending a Probation Before Judgment (PBJ) however you need to look before you leap based on circumstances .Mr. Maher charges a flat rate to handle your DMV hearing and criminal case with no additional fees and trust me he will put his best foot forward in ensuring you get the best possible outcome to your case. Thanks to Pat’s handling my case I passed the background checks for my new job and I also lifted the conditions on my green card. I absolutely recommend Pat without reservation because he will direct all his legal fire power to achievie the best possible outcome for your case.

I cannot say enough of Mr. Maher. He went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure the best outcome in my case. Mr. Maher's dept of knowledge, attention to every detail, and careful and meticulous approach to the whole matter was applaudable and a true blessing. He was able to secure a not-g...uilty verdict based on details only a skilled professional who excels in his are of expertise would be able to identify. Mr. Maher displayed outstanding work ethics and is a model for professionalism. His response to any questions or issues was prompt and precise. Even after the case was settled, I could count on Mr. Maher for further assistance in dealing with the MVA and any subsequent issues. I would highly recommend Mr. Maher as I believe having his representation in a DUI/DWI case is a valuable asset.
