Joseph Martin Maher

I sought the legal counsel of Joseph Maher for a complicated relocation case and connected child custody so I could relocate with my children. Joseph went above and beyond in providing the best legal advice prior to the motion being submitted and during mediation. He spent several hours with me prior... to trial preparing me and helping me gather evidence, including subpoenas. He was extremely professional and straightforward when explaining to me the odds of the relocation being granted and the laws involving my case. Ultimately, the judge granted my relocation and I was very pleased with the outcome of my case. I know this was due to the hard work of Joseph and his expert legal advice prior to and during the case. I would absolutely hire him again for any future child custody needs.

After going through the most difficult year of my life I can honestly say I made the absolute best choice in hiring Joseph Maher. Joe was patient, communicative, direct and tough. I had a very complex, highly litigated divorce and Joe was steadfast in his focus on helping me navigate an incredibly ...emotional and difficult process. He provided excellent counsel which included some tough reality checks as needed to keep me focused on the right things. He was a great advocate for me when it came to making the best decisions for my son. He was also very helpful in making sure I understood all aspects of my case. I would not hesitate recommending Joe to anyone who is looking for an attorney skilled in both collaborative or highly litigated scenarios. Thank you Joe!

Joe excelled in a couple of areas that truly cemented my lasting positive impression of him. First, despite the difficulty of the case, the lack of response of opposing council and increasing beleaguerment on my part, Joe maintained a calm business demeanor and helped me stay grounded. He kept my exp...ectations realistic, but urged my attentiveness and (in some cases) more aggressive stance on issues he felt important. While doing all of this, he managed to align the proceedings as closely as possible to what I told him (in my consultation) was my desired outcome. Secondly, when it was time to do so, Joe planted his feet and dug in. My proceedings involved deposing the opposing party – a situation I’d never been in before. I watched Joe methodically and strategically move through topics that, prior to my seeing him in action, I didn’t fully understand. I watched the strategy and narrative unfold in front of me and morph based on the responses he garnered. It truly left me being extremely appreciative that I retained him. In short, I’m deeply grateful for Joe. He made the best out of a terrible situation – and left me feeling as whole as he could at the end. He never overbilled me (and in some cases forewent billing me to save my pocketbook) and responded to me well into the evenings and occasionally on weekends (even though he was dealing with this COVID-crisis with his own family’s schedule). He truly cares for his clients and doesn’t simply wish to “check the box”. I’d use him again for any follow-up needs and would (and have) recommended him widely when asked. Thank You Joe!

Joe is an accomplished lawyer that knows the law thoroughly and is an excellent litigator; however, Joe's most defining quality is his ability to read the situation and act appropriately. I consulted Joe for a personal matter, but as a fellow lawyer in the community, have worked with him on a number ...of matters. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a true advocate.
