I was facing up to 25 years in prison and had hired another, higher priced attorney. The attorney I had hired just wasn't giving me the confidence I needed during my most fearful time in my life. I researched attorneys not caring about price, just expertise; I didn't care what I had to pay. Well, ...I found Pat and it turned out that, not only did he seem more well versed, confident, and reassuring, but he was also $6,500 cheaper over the course of the felony representation. In the end, my case was negotiated down through his firm representation and I ended up receiving a very light, suspended jail sentence, no fines (just a small court fee), and UNSUPERVISED probation. I went from facing a felony record with a lot of possible time in prison to no felony record with no time served at all! He took a very bad situation and defended me into an outcome that I would have never thought possible. If you're facing any time whatsoever, I would recommend Pat without hesitation! I will never need criminal defense again because I've learned my lesson, but if I did, I would call him immediately.

I didn't know what to do when I got arrested for DUi. I searched Avvo for DUI attorneys and found Patrick Maher. He had great reviews, so I called him. He answered the phone himself and listened to my story and told me he could help me. I went in for a free consultation and we talked for well ove...r an hour. He didn't sugar coat anything or make any promises he couldn't keep, but told me he thought we had a good case to get me off. He explained everything I needed to do before the trail and gave me the resources to make it easy for me to do. He kept in contact with me before the trail date and kept me informed of what was happening. On the day of the trail, I was offered a plea. He told me it was my choice to take it , but suggested we go to trail. That's what we did. he was very prepared for the trail and asked the right questions of the officers who arrested and tested me. In the end eh had proven there was reasonable doubt that I failed the roadside tests and that the breath test was accurate. He also got a lot of the other charges against me dropped and saved me a lot of money in fines. I would highly recommend Mr Maher for anyone going thru the process of a DUI trail.

It's as simple as this. If you are charged with a DUI, retain the services of Patrick Maher. He is the best of the best. Being charged with a DUI is an extremely stressful experience. I know first hand. Very often, the circumstances don't seem fair and the odds appear to be against you. I was over...whelmed when it happened to me. I spent endless hours online looking for a lawyer who could help me. There is a sea of information out there and it can become mind boggling. There was one person that I kept coming back to time and time again. It was Pat Maher. I am so thankful that I made that decision. Pat Maher's professionalism is something to witness. He is a person of high integrity and is well respected among his colleagues. DUI law is his passion. In the hallways of the courthouse, many attorneys stopped to speak with him and get his take on his or her case. I was blown away! I've come to learn that Mr. Maher is sought out by many attorneys to seek his advise. He has a strong personal ethic and proud morals. And, I want to emphasize that. This is a man of high personal esteem. Upon our first meeting, Pat walked me through every step of my case and instantly put me at ease. He followed up with me regularly by phone and email. He did everything in his power to ensure that we were prepared for my day in court. It was as if I was his only client. Truly remarkable! When it came time for my day in court, Mr. Maher demonstrated a calm and collected manner. He told me that he was prepared to defend my case in a trial if I decided to go that route. He also explained every other option available to me. I decided to go to trial and I am so thankful that I did. When I say that Mr. Maher was prepared, that is an understatement. Pat Maher knows DUI law like he knows the back of his hand. He highlighted every fault in the State's case. He demonstrated their lack of understanding and poor judgement of the evidence that was presented. Law officials are not infallible. When it was said and done, there was no contest. I was found not guilty on all charges. It was as if I witnessed a legendary painter working on a masterpiece. What was so outstanding was that Mr. Maher truly does believe in the rights of his clients. He knows that DUI charges can be given very freely without the thought of truly evaluating if someone is impaired. It has become an epidemic of mindless convictions. Mr. Maher will fight for you. I can not say enough positive things about Patrick Maher and his legal counsel. If you find yourself in a situation where he may be available, run, do not walk to seek his assistance.

Pa kept me informed regarding the possible outcomes including his assessment of my circumstances. He was knowledgeable and answered my questions promptly and forthrightly. On the day of trial, he negotiated a settlement which was better than I had expected. I would strongly recommend Pat if you ...are in need of a good attorney!

Compounded a bad day by crashing my sportscar and getting arrested for DUI/DWI and Leaving the scene. Pat answered all of my questions and explained all of the possible outcomes. I followed his advice and in the end when we finally got our day in court, Pat helped the State's Attorney understand th...at Negligent Driving was an appropriate plea. Exceeded my expectations with his knowledge, service, and the eventual outcome. Pat is trully an advocate for his clients.
