Patrick Maher is the Best of the Best - Do everything in your power to retain his services

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.

Professional, knowledgeable and forthright!

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!

Highly Recommend!!!

I retained Mr. Maher as my attorney for a criminal matter. I could have potentially have faced serious incarceration for this. He went above and beyond in my case and because of his extensive knowledge in criminal law, as well as how to navigate the Maryland legal system the outcome of my case was am...azing. I was preparing for jail and am an out of state resident, throughout the entire time he was my lawyer he kept me up to date and informed every step of the way. He was always on top of my case and readily available if I ever had any questions or needed to talk. He made me feel comfortable as possible during that time and all said and done his attention to my case and myself as I client resulted in an outcome of zero jail time, when in fact thats exactly where I would be if I had not hired capable representation. If you are in a bind with the law you will find no better than Mr. Patrick Maher. He will fight for you and your rights every step of the way. I have not one complaint or issue that negatively reflects him as an attorney and highly regard him and his professional ability.

DUI/DWI + Leaving the Scene

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.
