Divorce Attorney Recommendation
Mr. Maher was very effective in addressing the dynamics involved with child custody and parenting time. He was also very thorough in business evaluation and negotiation. He keeps things on schedule and moves to help expedite the process as quickly as possible.

Joe helped me with my divorce that involved the typical child custody and separation of property, but also involved a business that my ex and I owned together.

Joseph Martin Maher's Lawyer Endorsements
"Joe is an excellent advocate for his clients. He is easy to work with and a great resource in the office. Joe is smart and knows a good settlement but is also very comfortable in the courtroom. I endorse this lawyer."
"Joe and I worked together for over 7 years and he was one of the smartest, hardworking and caring attorneys I have known. He truly cares about his clients and will do what is needed to get his client the best results. He is a reasonable attorney and has the common sense to know when to try a case and when a settlement is appropriate. We miss Joe a lot as do his clients in Maryland. Colorado has gained a wonderful attorney!"
"Joe Maher is a trusted co-worker with whom I often brainstorm ideas regarding litigation strategies and creative settlement solutions. Joe is an excellent negotiator who is always prepared to fight for his clients in court. I have recommended friends & family to Joe (and will continue to do so) - which is the highest compliment an attorney can give another!"
