Pat took my case for a suspected DUI in the summer of 2019. I spoke to 5 attorneys and neither of them had the knowledge of the law the exuded from the 20 minute call with Mr. Pat Maher. I felt confident with my decision to have Mr. Maher representing me based on the genuine interest that he showed d...uring our phone call and the time that he's spent educating himself on the laws and regulations of the standardized field sobriety tests. Pat had educated me on what I would be facing and when the day of trial arrived I was nervous due to the unknown ahead, but I also had confidence knowing that Pat was there with me. My nervousness quickly went to the wayside when Mr. Maher started poking and prodding at the evidence posed against me. Pat dissembled the evidence posed against me like a technician and by the time it was all said and done, I had officers who witnessed the trial come up to me and say that it was one of the greatest defenses that they had ever seen. If you're still reading this, call Mr. Pat Maher. I know it wouldn't think twice. Thank you Pat.

When I got my DUI it was devastating. Not knowing what to expect was the worst of it. Unless I wanted to blindly go into this legal matter I’d need to find a good lawyer, preferably one who specializes in DUIs. I had already met with 4 attorneys and didn’t feel that any of them could help me…I jus...t wasn’t satisfied with their responses to my questions. Thankfully I had a family friend, a native of Catonsville MD, who recommended Pat Maher to me. He was more expensive than the others (they were asking 1,400-1,800 for their services) but after meeting with Pat it was obvious that he knew what I was up against and would advise me on what to do and what to expect. And he did. He knew exactly what the judge would be looking for and advised me on what I should do to avoid any problems or setbacks, like having my license suspended or jail time, so I did everything he asked of me. We appeared in front of the MVA judge three times and the criminal judge once, and each time I was less and less anxious. Being represented by Mr. Maher and having him beside me in a courtroom setting was fantastic. He even got the MVA judge to delay the trial until the officer who was in charge of the breathalyzer on the night of my arrest could appear in court with us because of a problem he found on the paperwork. Because of his efforts not only was my license never suspended or revoked but I ended up with ZERO POINTS on my driving record! Hiring Pat Maher was the smartest thing I could have done. If you’re dealing with a DUI and are looking for a lawyer to represent you call and meet with Pat before making a final decision.

About a year ago I was involved in a hit and run, this was my first offense. I called a couple laywers before reaching out to pat and got no response. then I called pat and he responded right away. So that same phone call he told me exactly what to do without hesitation. Pat told me to do community ...service first right off the bat, then go to Columbia drug and alchohol clinic to get evaluated to see if I had problems with alchohol or drugs. After I did those steps I attended a seminar at the university of Maryland hospital at the shock trauma center on drunk driving and how serious and life threatening it is. Pat knew the steps for me to go any further in this process and I listened to him, did what he told me to do and when it was time for court he had me ready to go in there and stand in front of a judge. While in court I was extremely nervous and scared, but knowing that Pat was standing next to me, made me feel very safe and comfortable. Pat is very knowledgeable and passionate of his practice and the law. Having him by my side is and was one of the best decisions I've ever made. He saved my career of being a truck driver and no points on my license. I also wanted to say something on a side note when I had first called pat and finished the phone call I got a call back from a lawyer I had tried to reach out too. We talked about my conviction and what happened, but I kindly and politely told him I have a lawyer. He kindly asked who he was and I said his name is Pat Maher. Without letting me finish he said "oh I had lunch with him yesterday you have nothing to worry about you're in good hands!" Pat is a stand up guy and very genuine and definitely a man who cares. I highly suggest Pat Maher no doubt in my mind he is the best!! Thank you.

I was very fortunate to be referred to Patrick Maher for my legal counsel. Patrick was extremely thorough with my case and really took the time to understand my situation and discuss all the possibilities and consequences of the citations. I felt he always had my best interest in mind and truly treat...ed me with respect and courtesy. He was very communicative through the entire process and I was comfortable asking questions and seeking advice. It is evident that Patrick has garnished a great deal of knowledge throughout his time practicing DUI/DWI legal counsel. Due to this expertise, he was able to make solid recommendations regarding positive steps one should take after being cited with such serious charges. I found the fees associated with Patrick's work were reasonable and that he exceeded my expectations. I was confident in my representation and would encourage anyone seeking a lawyer for DUI/DWI charges to consider hiring Patrick Maher. While I had a favorable outcome in my case, which can all be contributed to Patrick's dedication and expertise, I am certain he would represent any case to the best of his ability. I sincerely thank Patrick for the respect, courtesy and calmness with which he met my concerns and aided me through this difficult period.
