The Very Best DUI Legal Service Possible

Pat was involved in my 2nd DUI/DWI related offense. After working with a different attorney for the first case, I had reservations about the extent that anyone was able to help out in the situation. From the first meeting, Pat was very receptive and patient. We walked through the entire process invol...ving my arrest. Pat meticulously analyzed the situation and displayed an excellent knowledge regarding the legal process. He prepared me for the entire course of help that he would provide me. He was there each step of the way. Throughout the next few months after our first meeting, he was able to resolve the case with a positive outcome for myself. I firmly believe that if not only for his excellent knowledge but his persistence and effort outside the courtroom, I would not be in the situation I am in today. I am very lucky to have such a hard working, empathetic professional on my side.

DUI Lawyer who is on top of his game

We all enjoy having a beer or some drinks at the company happy hour, during cookouts or a night out, however when you are pulled over by a cop and charged with DUI that is when the reality of your bad judgment kicks in. I can’t find the right words to express my sincere gratitude to Pat Maher, for th...e candor and professionalism he attached to my DUI case. I was charged with a DUI in Maryland and the usual slew of other charges in May 2012, two months after starting a new job. For me the implications of this DUI charge were far reaching because as a conditional green card holder this could have an adverse impact on removal of my conditional status. Additionally it put my new job at risk and created significant embarrassment for my family. In carrying out my research on lawyers I wanted to find someone who had an in depth understanding of the DUI process who also understand the complexity my immigration status added to my DUI charges. After narrowing down my list and speaking with several I eventually went to see Pat and following my initial meeting with him my inner voice told me to go with Pat. Mr Maher handled both my MVA and criminal hearings and I have nothing but praise for his professionalism and knowledge of the law. During the MVA hearing Pat was able to argue my case and which resulted in the charges being dismissed and I was able to get my driver’s license back. My criminal case was originally scheduled for November 2012 however at Pat’s request my case was rescheduled to February 2013. Initially I was disappointed that I could not get this over with to enable me get on with my life however in hindsight I am glad I respected my attorney’s decision. During the final court hearing Pat made sure I understood the process by explaining the entire process to me and arguing my case to the DA intelligently; I can’t explain how tense I was throughout the process but I was pleasantly surprised when Pat called me and said we should go a pay a fine for negligent driving and that was it. While I was not let of the hook completed, I cannot begin to explain how the successful outcome of my case positively impacted a job offer I had while the case was ongoing. Even though Pat may not ‘get you off’ for all the charges that will brought he will work extra hard so that you get the most favorable outcome that will be least detrimental based on his understanding of your circumstances. Some attorneys will offer you a cheap and easy way out by recommending a Probation Before Judgment (PBJ) however you need to look before you leap based on circumstances .Mr. Maher charges a flat rate to handle your DMV hearing and criminal case with no additional fees and trust me he will put his best foot forward in ensuring you get the best possible outcome to your case. Thanks to Pat’s handling my case I passed the background checks for my new job and I also lifted the conditions on my green card. I absolutely recommend Pat without reservation because he will direct all his legal fire power to achievie the best possible outcome for your case.

Outstanding in every aspect of the word

I cannot say enough of Mr. Maher. He went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure the best outcome in my case. Mr. Maher's dept of knowledge, attention to every detail, and careful and meticulous approach to the whole matter was applaudable and a true blessing. He was able to secure a not-g...uilty verdict based on details only a skilled professional who excels in his are of expertise would be able to identify. Mr. Maher displayed outstanding work ethics and is a model for professionalism. His response to any questions or issues was prompt and precise. Even after the case was settled, I could count on Mr. Maher for further assistance in dealing with the MVA and any subsequent issues. I would highly recommend Mr. Maher as I believe having his representation in a DUI/DWI case is a valuable asset.

Amazing DUI Lawyer- Best in State

Pat Maher had been recommended to me and was described as the best lawyer for my situation. Mr. Maher was very helpfil in providing me with information and guidance throughout the process leading up to my trial. He provided me with information on different Alcohol and Drug classes around the area tha...t would be beneficial to my case. We met several times and he helped me to feel relaxed and stable throughout that difficult period of time. Mr, Maher is different than any other lawyer because he has such an extensive amount of knowledge and expertise with the Standard Field Sobriety Tests and breathalyzer tests. Instead of letting me take the PBJ that was expected, he advised me that it would be best to try my case in front of the judge. I am so thankful for his advice. Within 5 minutes of his defensive rebuttle, the judge decided to dismiss my case and drop all the charges. There are very, very few other lawyers who would take the time to try cases such as this. For this reason, I highly recommend Pat Maher to anyone in need of a DUI/DWI lawyer.
