I recently had the good fortune to be represented by Mr Patrick Maher, whom I found to be a phenomenal attorney! He is very thorough, knowledgeable, methodical, and compassionate. His level of knowledge, readiness, and preparation to represent his clients is a trait to which all attorneys should as...pire. He does not give you false hope with unrealistic expectations. Mr. Maher clearly explains possible outcomes based on your specific case. I found him to be a very straightforward and honest attorney that gives his ALL. For my personal case, the DUI court hearing charges were dismissed and the MVA hearing resulted in "no action." Not only am I thankful to Mr. Maher, I am thankful for this site (Avvo). This was my first time ever being in a situation that required an attorney, and I was clueless. I began searching the internet and was led to Avvo which led me to Patrick Maher. I was drawn to him because of the favorable reviews for him, not only from his clients, but also from his peers. I have now joined that list. I would definitely recommend him to others. This may best express my opinion of him-- if Webster's Dictionary defined "Awesome Attorney" there would be a picture of Patrick Maher. Thank you Mr. Maher!

I was arrested for a DUI, DWI and a few other charges. I had never been arrested and had never had any dealing with the legal system other than a parking ticket or two. I needed help! I was referred to Patrick Maher by a friend who is an attorney. She told me he was the best. And she was right! I c...ontacted Pat, he was very friendly, very helpful and explained every step of the process in great detail. His price was reasonable. He took my case to trial and WON! DUI-Dismissed, DWI- Not Guilty. He was able to lay out the facts and perfectly argue the details of my case and poke wholes in the states. If you want the best possible out come, Hire Patrick!

Mr. Maher is an exceptional lawyer, very knowledgeable in his field of expertise. He made the entire unsavory experience go so smoothly from start to finish even keeping me informed every step of the way. He was upfront and honest offering worst case scenario, excellent communication and readily avai...lable with answers to any uncertainties and questions I had. My ending result was so much better than I even I thought was going to happen, thank you Mr. Maher! I would highly highly recommend to anyone who finds their self in such a situation to need his services. My case was handled with meticulous care and I sincerely appreciate the quality over quantity approach he takes.

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!
