Joseph Martin Maher

I hired Joe to represent me during post-divorce Parenting Plan negotiations. It was a very tense and difficult situation that I did not want to be in, but Joe offered great advice and helped me to get an agreement created that was more clear and conducive to peace. He has also been kind enough to let me ask some questions about the document nearly a year later. While I sincerely hope I never again have need to retain his services, should another situation like this occur, I hire him again. I only wish I had done so during my divorce rather than doing it on my own.

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 !

Joe was extremely helpful in his advice given to me relative to an unusual case. Joe listened to me, he was very understanding as to my situation, and took time to discuss the case with me.

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 expectations 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 was a great lawyer! I have Parkinson’s and I get very nervous and tongue tied he was very patient and understanding! Great guy and lawyer.

Joe Maher is a great lawyer, highly recommended. I hired him for my divorce after I had been with another firm and was already several thousand dollars into the process. He was caring, professional, relentless in the negotiations and he understood the daunting issues that faced me. He also seemed very well respected at the court house, on good terms with clerks and judges. Unlike my previous lawyers, they seemed to have no rapport with the court! This probably was the best decision I could have made. I would have not had the same outcome with the other firm for sure!

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.

I hired Joe to represent my interests for a very emotionally painful divorce and custody case. Not only was he calm, but he understood exactly how each situation would turn out and steered me towards acting only in the most advantageous ways for my case. Everything ended up very favorably for me, thanks to Joe’s even keeled, hard edged negotiating abilities and understanding of the law. I’m so glad I hired him- I have a really good chance to make my life awesome now. He is really the best. He was also aware of my finances and worked hard to keep my fees low.

Joe worked tirelessly to accomplish everything I needed of him and to provide top notch advice throughout a seriously trying divorce situation. Hands-down would hire again.

Joe was kind and compassionate throughout a lengthy and unique family law case. He was up front about the intricacies of the case and was thorough and dedicated throughout the case, which ended favorably!
