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 hired Pat after finding him on Avvo and seeing all of the positive feedback. My case has just been decided. Considering the details, I could not be happier with the result. This was my fourth contact with the law regarding alcohol related offenses (third DUI charge). Pat took the time, on several i...nstances, to walk through what happened with me step by step and to find anywhere we may have had a case. Although most cases do not go to trial, Pat was extremely prepared just in case it did and he made sure I was prepared as well. I was facing about eight charges altogether from this one incident. We respectfully declined the first plea offered by the State as Pat continued to go to bat for why the State did not have a guaranteed case against me. After some negotiation, the plea was lessened to the lower DWI charge with all other charges dismissed. All jail time was suspended and the judge was even willing to invite our petition for PBJ in the near future, pending my completion of an alcohol treatment program. I hope to never need his services again, but I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking honest and thorough representation.

A couple of years ago I got a DUI from the Baltimore Transit Police. I had no idea what to do or who to contact. My mailbox was flooded with "hire me" but I decided to do my own research and find a lawyer that I trusted to handle my case. This was my first and only DUI and I was so nervous. I found P...at Mayer and saw his reviews and thought they all displayed what a wonderful lawyer he was. I hired him to represent me. He did a wonderful job and I am so pleased at what the final result was. My case started out rough, and went forward, and things didn't work out the best the first time, although Mr. Mather fought very hard for me. He didn't accept the judgement and filed an appeal on my behalf. We would not stand for a guilty sentence (this was my first offense, blew a 0.12, went to alcohol classes, and to this day go to AA) Pat continued to work with me and fight for me and I was granted a PBJ and 1 year supervised probabtion. Recently I referred a relative to Pat Maher, this was her second DUI and she was so afraid of jail time. he counseled her so well on what to do and when in court, her weekend rehab stay counted as time served to the judge and she was given NO jail time. Amazing service from a very understanding and trustworthy person. I could not have asked for a better lawyer.

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
