Glad I chose him

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.

Best you can get!

I was charged with a DUI and a DWI. I found Mr. Maher on this site. I went to his office he made me feel so comfortable and I have bad anxiety with new settings and people but through the whole process he put my mind at ease and is very intelligent with the laws and is also very thorough with your ca...se. He doesn't miss anything at all! He knew his judges well and in the end we got the best judge to pass judgement on my case. I really should of gotten the worse punishment because I blew a .24 but with Mr. Mahers help I got 18 months supervised probation and nothing else. He is really amazing and is affordable. He worked with me with his price and gave me a flat rate and that's all I had to pay. You really can't do better than this lawyer! I encourage anyone dealing with what I had to deal with to really think about hiring his services to help you get through it. I promise you won't regret it.

The best at what he does!

I was pulled over for a speeding violation in May of 2014 and in the process was charged with a DWI @ a 0.07. It was a borderline case, but most lawyers out there would tell you to "Just take the PBJ, you'll probably get unsupervised probation" and then collect a fee for "walking you through" the pr...ocess. Not Pat. After conducting an in-depth interview, Pat explained that this is a very defensible case and that we should absolutely go for an acquittal rather than just the "get you off" quickie path of a PBJ. He advised on proactive actions to take before the court date to maximize a beneficial (unsupervised) outcome should we lose the case. I highly advise anyone to heed this advice as other defendants didn't seem to get the same and were dealt much harsher penalties than the few that did. But, luckily this was all unnecessary. After 3 delays, once at our request because of an unfavorable judge & mistaken identity and TWICE because the State couldn't get their act together, we had the trial. Once the State's Attorney was done with the police officer, who was quite "Gung Ho" I might add, Pat methodically picked apart their case line by line, pulling out official procedures & statutes that both the officer and even the State's Attorney were ignorant of. The Judge without hesitation said "not guilty" as soon as Pat finished presenting his case. Even the speeding ticket ended up as a PBJ. I can't recommend Pat enough if you find yourself in a similar situation.

Outstanding Attorney

Mr. Maher is an exceptional attorney. I was very impressed with his knowledge of the law and his level of representation. My case was very complex and yet I was able to get a very favorable outcome. Mr. Maher explained to me in great detail each and every aspect of the case and prepared a defense acc...ordingly. I would highly recommend Mr. Maher for your case.

Thanks for a superb job

Pat Mahler did a tremendous job with our son's DWI/DUI charge. We were terrified because he had a PBJ for an offense during beach week. Pat advised us on all the possible outcomes, counseled us on what programs to enter to help our son with his issue, reviewed the facts of the case and determined th...e inconsistencies which resulted in a positive outcome for our son. He advised us every step of the way and we are all grateful for his counsel. The program he recommended helped my son with his issues in a way no other program had before. Thanks for all your help and support.
