Patrick Erney Maher

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

I found out about Pat through the AVVO site, interviewed him and another lawyer I found here and selected him for my DUI defense. And boy am I glad I did! Pat knows all the ins and outs of DUI/DWI law, how to navigate the courts in the Baltimore area, and how to fight for your rights to the fullest e...xtent of the law. I basically expected to eventually get probation before judgement as the best deal I could get, but after many months Pat was able to convince the state they had a marginal case and got them to agree not to prosecute my case at all. No points, no probation, nothing! An amazing and unexpected result. But when someone who knows what they are doing fights hard for you, sometimes great things happen. If you want someone who will do the best that can be done for your DUI/DWI situation, Pat's the lawyer for you. Would recommend him every time.

I selected Mr. Maher based upon his reviews and am certainly glad I did. My case involved an accident with injuries in the early afternoon with a high BAC. This was also not my first offense and in the strictest county in MD (Harford). Mr. Maher is the type of person that gives it to you straight and... doesn't sugar coat anything but he does it without talking down to you or with any form of contempt. You just get the feeling of compassion from him all the while he is telling you it's not going to be easy. As an attorney, he leaves no stone unturned and stays until the job is done. He has called me at all times of the day, to include late evenings and goes the extra mile to get the entire picture of your situation. He is very diligent in note keeping and has the ability to recall the smallest of details if the argument requires interjection. In the end, he argued my circumstances so effectively that the States Attorney's proposal was reduced 75% and everything financially that could be waived was done so. Everything that could be hoped for was granted; deferred detention, my choice of work release or weekends, no community service etc. His skill in arguing is summed up in the judges comment that "I had the most articulate attorney there is". His experience alone would be enough but he is by far better than someone who has simply been there and done that. My advice; retain this attorney for your case, listen to him with the understanding you are in the position to need him because of your choices and do what he says to prepare.

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 pulled over in Cumberland Maryland when police saw me talking on my cell phone (bad choice), and unknown to me my WV license was suspended due to a speeding ticket I forgot about and not receiving the court notice to appear for driving on out of state license. An attorney friend highly recomme...nded him. Long story short, There was a warrant out for my arrest, Pat got the judge to quash the warrant and talked to the prosecuting attorney who dismissed the charges. I didn't have to appear in court either! Lesson well learned but I'm sooooo very thankful Pat was my attorney! Put your trust in HIM! {info redacted}
