About Robert
Robert Maher began his professional path in education. In 2000 he taught at Harry S. Truman High School. He moved into law after earning his J.D. from St. John’s University School of Law. He is admitted to practice in New York.
Maher’s early legal work came at the Law Offices of James F. Sullivan, P.C., where he joined as a lawyer in 2007. That role gave him front-line experience representing clients and managing casework in a small firm environment. Two years later he launched his own practice. In 2009 he opened the Law Office of Robert J. Maher, P.C. Running his own firm required handling client intake, drafting court documents, and steering litigation and administrative matters from start to finish.
Over time Maher moved into a counsel role at Saland Law PC. He serves there as Of Counsel while maintaining ties to the practice he established. That shift reflects a common path for attorneys who balance independent work and collaboration with larger teams. His career shows steady transitions from teacher to associate to solo practitioner and then to a senior advisor role.
Maher holds current membership in the American Immigration Lawyers Association. That affiliation places him among practitioners who regularly handle immigration files, attend continuing education, and track developments in immigration policy and procedure. He has stayed active in professional circles since entering the legal field in the 2000s.
Colleagues describe Maher as pragmatic in the handling of cases. He approaches client matters with an emphasis on clear options and concrete next steps. He has experience drafting pleadings, preparing administrative filings, and representing clients at hearings. His work history reflects repeated interaction with both administrative agencies and state courts.
Outside the office Maher’s earlier years in education continue to shape how he communicates with clients. He favors plain explanations and practical timelines. That style suits clients who need to understand complex legal processes without legalese.
He currently practices from Saland Law PC and continues to accept matters that involve immigration and related administrative proceedings.
