Excellent divorce lawyer

I hired Joe after feeling disappointed with a previous divorce lawyer I had been working with. His ability to simplify what was at stake, logical approach, and compassion helped me feel confident in my decision to switch lawyers. Joe promptly responded to all respondent attorney communications as wel...l as my own, along with his paralegal (who’s also a gem), in a professional, supportive manner. During the case, Joe presented my options in a clear, fair manner before decisions were made (with my consent) and always followed through. I cannot recommend Joe enough if you are going through a divorce. During an emotionally vulnerable time, an intelligent, fair, responsive lawyer is what is needed. Joe not only is this exact type of lawyer, but my outcome was a positive one as well. As a result, I have been able to move forward in my life, knowing I had done my best in a difficult situation represented by an excellent lawyer.

Awesome divorce lawyer!

Divorce is hard! Joe is a great attorney in this circumstance! He took an extremely stressful event in my life and helped me process all the required steps easily, minimizing my stress through the process. He walked along side me, pushed nothing!! I appreciated his level counsel and support every ste...p of the way. He is professional, ethical, and truly served my best interest, personally and financially. One of the good guys for sure! Thank You Joe! ;)

Excellent Attorney

I hired Joe to handle my divorce, from filing through the final decree. It is important to note that Joe is highly professional and was looking out for my children's and my best interests at all times. It was clear to me, through this process, that not all attorneys have the highest level of inte...grity like Joe. His integrity not only helped me feel better about the process, but prevented problems that a lack of integrity or shady tactics could have caused. It was important to me that Joe was able to successfully manage all aspects of my case while keeping the big picture in mind at all times. His ability to quickly review the details of the case, without spending extra time or money, and retain the details is impressive. Joe was very careful to look at the big picture and help assist me in making decisions that would limit time, expense, and stress. He was able to keep me on track and focused on the most effective and efficient approach, despite the highly emotional circumstances that unfortunately surrounds many divorces. Joe is also very responsive and easy to get in touch with. I could tell he was focused on my case when communicating with him. The other staff at his firm are also excellent to work with. I really cannot say enough good things about Joe. His experience in other states was also valuable for my case. I would recommend Joe to anyone without hesitation, which is not something I do often. I do not write reviews often. However, I was happy to write this review, as I hope anyone searching for a great attorney will be as fortunate as I.

Super Lawer

I absolutely recommend Joseph Maher. I have Parkinson’s and was a stay at home wife with a signed prenuptial agreement and I could not have been better represented throughout my divorce. Joe and his team at Griffiths law gave me 100% great job !

Relationship: Supervised 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!"
