When this unfortunate event occurred, I was very upset and from our intial phone call, Pat showed great client care by calming me down, and getting me focused on what was ahead. We mapped out a detailed game plan before court, which really helped when I went in front of the judge. Anytime I had quest...ions before court he was quick to respond. He also helped me when I had issues with the MVA, regarding my restricted lisence and Smart Start, the interlock company I use. On the day of court he explained everything that was going to happen, and truly showed his expertise of all the DUI/DWI procedures, which resulted in me receiving a lesser charge. Overall, Pat was a great attorney and helped me through a very rough time in my life. I would recommend him to anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation.

I was very fortunate to be referred to Patrick Maher for my legal counsel. Patrick was extremely thorough with my case and really took the time to understand my situation and discuss all the possibilities and consequences of the citations. I felt he always had my best interest in mind and truly treat...ed me with respect and courtesy. He was very communicative through the entire process and I was comfortable asking questions and seeking advice. It is evident that Patrick has garnished a great deal of knowledge throughout his time practicing DUI/DWI legal counsel. Due to this expertise, he was able to make solid recommendations regarding positive steps one should take after being cited with such serious charges. I found the fees associated with Patrick's work were reasonable and that he exceeded my expectations. I was confident in my representation and would encourage anyone seeking a lawyer for DUI/DWI charges to consider hiring Patrick Maher. While I had a favorable outcome in my case, which can all be contributed to Patrick's dedication and expertise, I am certain he would represent any case to the best of his ability. I sincerely thank Patrick for the respect, courtesy and calmness with which he met my concerns and aided me through this difficult period.

Patrick was referred to me by another attorney; that attorney was a trusted friend of mine, but did not practice DUI law. That in-its-self was an endorsement and a compliment. Upon contacting Patrick, I recognized that he was a good listener and clearly demonstrated subject matter expertise. As yo...u likely know, there are two major parts for "keeping or loosing" your license - and being fined ... and/ or going to jail. Patrick's MVA administrative skills preserved my driving privilege unencumbered (no car installed breathalyzer); and at trial, he was a cogent, respectful, and a successful advocate. And I must add, he did a good job managing his client; that is, although I objected to certain police officer testimony, Patrick calmly dissuaded me from commenting/ testifying. Apparently, the judge was persuaded, in part, by Patrick's case law references/ defense and, generally, his presentation. Whereby, the judge decided that "my particular situation" (DUI charge) did not constitute driving under the influence. Postscript - As you likely know, the probable cause regarding all DUI arrest/charges can vary significantly. In my case, when I was confronted, I was not operating/ driving my vehicle, but I was in the driver's seat; and I was on private property, asleep. However, having access to the car's keys (they were in the ignition), the confronting officer's position was that intoxication and "access to the car's keys" constituted DUI. However, it was winter and a cold night, and to keep warm, Patrick explained that I had been cycling the engine/ heater. Fortunately for me, we had a discerning judge that was also "a good listener."
