I am writing this review to help people looking for a lawyer TO STOP! I was in trouble with a serious traffic offense, stood to lose everything I had. Colin was available to me 24/7. Even texted to just check in. Although there was a wait time with court appearances, he went in to stand up for me. I have serious anxiety. He told me he would take care of it and to stay home. Eventually, when my SENTENCE DAY came, again he went to bat and I was given a 50 dollar fine. Something that could have ruined my life forever was fixed by Colin. Forever indebted.

Colin was AMAZING!!! to say the least. I had a Traffic Violation from almost 4 years prior which also held a bench warrant and Colin took care of the Court cost and Warrant was lifted and erased out the system in no time, literally within less than a hour of me retaining him. I would definitely recommend Colin to anyone needing current or future services.

I had to take Colin's help for a speeding ticket. He was the one to pick my call when i started calling random lawyers from Google. When everyone else had voicemails, Colin was at work pretty early during the day. From very first call, till the final moment when he took care to dismiss my case - Colin was super nice, very cool, crisp & thoroughly professional. For every singe step in the process, he promptly sends acknowledgement mails & keeps us updated with everything that is happening with the case. I don't want to speed again. But I must say that I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a lawyer who gets the job done professionally! Thank you so much for all your help Colin.

I just want to say what a fantastic experience I had as a client of Colin Maher. To anyone looking for a knowledgeable, professional traffic lawyer, I cannot recommend him highly enough. I used Colin's services in February 2017 as a first time client. From the first call to the case dismissal, Colin explained every step very clearly, without overpromising anything. His fees were very reasonable and there were no hidden costs. Also doesn't hurt that he is an extremely nice person to deal with in general. Every single time I reached out to Colin I got a prompt response directly from him. He answered every email and call same day; I truly couldn't have hoped for a better service in any way. God forbid I ever run into any trouble again, but if I do I know exactly who to call. Thank you so much for representing us Colin

I have now retained Colin on two occasions. On both occasions Colin represented me successfully to my complete satisfaction. He is very competent and his fees is very reasonable. Highly recommended.

Attorney Maher did an excellent job representing me at my expungement hearing. He was professional, covered all the bases thoroughly, and gave me the impression that he actually cared. I would definitely recommend him to anyone I knew who was about to go before a judge.

Colin is a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and a strong advocate. He knows the law and he will fight for you. Colin represented me in trial and was able to get my case dismissed.

After dealing with another attorney for days with no results and feeling defeated, I contacted Colin at 10:45am Tuesday morning. Colin answered all of my questions. He was very confident in his answers. He returned my calls promptly and most importantly he did EVERYTHING he said he would do. I followed up with him Wednesday morning at 7:52 am and he actually answered the call himself, which is almost unheard of for attorneys these days and again he was very attentive and confident about the service he could provide based on my personal situation. I received a back call from Colin at 9:44 am Wednesday letting me know that my issue was resolved and I would have the documented proof by email. I got the email at 12:29 pm Wednesday. In less than 24 hours literally my issue was resolved. Turn around time was impeccable. Now I know every case will be different and will not have the same 24 hour turn around time, however, I mention this because to me it shows his prompt attention to his clients needs. I am beyond pleased with my decision to hire him and I didn't pay a penny more than he said I would. Thanks again for all your help and I will highly recommend you to anyone who asks.

Colin is the best attorney I have dealt with in town so far. I had a minor traffic citation that I hired Colin to resolve. Where other lawyers were charging significant dollars, Colin offered his services at a very reasonable price. The issue was resolved within 4 days of hiring Colin. I strongly recommend using Colin for your legal matters. He is extremely knowledgeable, and has his clients' best interest at heart.

I was a Felon for 7 or 8 years up untill August 26th 2015. I had a F5 felony conviction on my permanent record and was told i'd never have this expunged off. 8 years later after my conviction i was tired of living a life of a struggling ex con and decided to contact different attorneys to measure who could really help me to be relieved of this burden ive held for years. After contacting many attorneys in Columbus, Ohio I stumbled across Colin Maher. After talking to him within the first 5 mins i was impressed with his upfront and honest approach. He's the type that won't waste his or your time. He was confident in his abilities but never made any promises. He is a stand up guy. After talking to him I felt confident that he could help me return to a normal citizen and give me the new start I desperately needed. After i paid my fees he walked me through each process. I was astonished by the effort he gave to ensure he did everything in and above his power to get the job done. I filed my paper work in late may of 2015 and he completed my successful expungement by August 26th. In a little over 3 months time i was no longer a felon. Yesterday February 15th 2016 I now have landed the job of my dreams. I will graduate school this spring and my future looks brighter than it has ever been in 9 years. I am eternally grateful to him and hus staff. So if you are looking for an attorney that works behind the scenes and will get you the results you are looking for then Colin R. Maher us the right man for the Job.
