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.

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.

I recently had the good fortune to be represented by Mr Patrick Maher, whom I found to be a phenomenal attorney! He is very thorough, knowledgeable, methodical, and compassionate. His level of knowledge, readiness, and preparation to represent his clients is a trait to which all attorneys should as...pire. He does not give you false hope with unrealistic expectations. Mr. Maher clearly explains possible outcomes based on your specific case. I found him to be a very straightforward and honest attorney that gives his ALL. For my personal case, the DUI court hearing charges were dismissed and the MVA hearing resulted in "no action." Not only am I thankful to Mr. Maher, I am thankful for this site (Avvo). This was my first time ever being in a situation that required an attorney, and I was clueless. I began searching the internet and was led to Avvo which led me to Patrick Maher. I was drawn to him because of the favorable reviews for him, not only from his clients, but also from his peers. I have now joined that list. I would definitely recommend him to others. This may best express my opinion of him-- if Webster's Dictionary defined "Awesome Attorney" there would be a picture of Patrick Maher. Thank you Mr. Maher!

I was arrested for a DUI, DWI and a few other charges. I had never been arrested and had never had any dealing with the legal system other than a parking ticket or two. I needed help! I was referred to Patrick Maher by a friend who is an attorney. She told me he was the best. And she was right! I c...ontacted Pat, he was very friendly, very helpful and explained every step of the process in great detail. His price was reasonable. He took my case to trial and WON! DUI-Dismissed, DWI- Not Guilty. He was able to lay out the facts and perfectly argue the details of my case and poke wholes in the states. If you want the best possible out come, Hire Patrick!
