Pat is an excellent attorney. I hired him for a DUI case. He was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and very sensitive to me needs. He thoroughly listened to me, guided me through the case and got me through a very difficult time in my life. I would highly and unequivocally hire Pat for any DUI o...r DWI related case.

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.

I was originally referred to Mr. Maher by a friend of the family, then decided to check this very website, Avvo, to read what others who were in my same situation had to say. I read all of the reviews and concluded that it was worth a try to go in for a consultation. I ended up just calling Mr. Maher... and after a 30-45 minute conversation it was needless to say that I was blown away enough to hire him on the spot. Mr. Maher is VERY knowledgeable and has the experience to back it up. He represented me at both my MVA hearing and my court case (even though it was an hour and 45 minute drive from where he's located) and things couldn't have gone any better. I received the outcome I was hoping for, and Mr. Maher made sure to keep my expectations reasonable just in case things didn't go as planned. He had everything covered from all angles and I couldn't be happier with the final outcome. If anyone were to ask me for my recommendation, I would hands down mention Mr. Mahers name and insist that they seek his services. 5 stars aren't enough for his expertise.

One of the best attorneys you can obtain! I was looking in the Baltimore area for a lawyer to help represent me for a 3 point traffic citation I received. I reached out to Pat via email in regards to my citation. He was very timely in his response, direct & thorough with what my options were, worst c...ase scenario/best case scenario. Leading up to my trial date, Pat was sure to advise me of all documentation I would need to present the best defense case in my favor. If I ever had any questions, I gave Pat a call & he was able to answer any question/concerns. Just an overall quality, professional lawyer who I felt genuinely cared about my case & the outcome of it. I felt confident going into court with Pat representing me. You can tell he has the experience & expertise simply by speaking to him via phone/email. Pat exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended!

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.
