Unscrupulous Lawyer

Edward doesn’t seem to care about the real victim. The type of law firm that cares more about money than what is morally right. Edward tries to victimize the victim as opposed to educating his client on why he is in this predicament!

Unprofessional and Cases Not Filed Timely

I was a client of Mr. Maher's firm for 2-3 years. The firm filed Failure to Pay Rent filings in Baltimore County and Baltimore City for three company's that I manage. On 3-5 cases, the firm did not file the cases in a timely manner with the courts related to cases that I had referred to them and th...ey had acknowledged receipt and agreed to file for me. In the end the cases were refiled at my request but would not have been refiled had I not checked in with the Firm to obtain status. I did not like the manner in which I was treated and the fact that I had to be responsible for checking in with them after each case was referred to them to ensure compliance. I felt that a better system could be implemented and to preserve the relationship, I suggested possible mechanisms to prevent such mishaps which were rebuffed. In end I was verbally abused via email and I was blamed for the cases not being filed timely/properly.

Professional, knowledgable, prompt service

Mr Maher, represented me in a landlord/tenant issue. He was knowledgeable, took time to explain the process , setting out typical timelines and realistic expectations. Fee schedule was transparent and fair, highly recommended.

Highly recommend!

Ted has represented our property management firm for years dealing with all landlord and tenant issues. He and his staff (Emma and Chris) are knowledgeable and responsive. I would highly recommend his firm if you are seeking legal representation.

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"I endorse this lawyer. I worked approximately two years for Ted Maher as a landlord-tenant attorney. The work was challenging and enjoyable. The firm itself was an engaging office in which to practice. But perhaps most importantly, we got positive results for our clients. I would recommend Mr. Maher's firm to any prospective real estate clients in the greater Baltimore area."
