Kevin J McDevitt

I was recently charged with second degree assault, and was fortunate enough to hire Kevin. After the initial consultation, I was confident in his knowledge and experience were the best choice for my case. Kevin is a straight forward attorney, and does an incredible job of explaining the legal process... and possible outcomes. He ensured I was legally and, maybe more importantly, mentally prepared for my court date. I could not be happier with the outcome of my case. I highly recommend Kevin for any and all legal needs.

I was charged with DUI and DWI a few months ago. I hired Kevin very shortly after the incident. He has done nothing but prepare me for every scenario that would potentially come my way while in the courtroom. He was excellent with giving me as many appointments as I needed with him, and he was fantas...tic with answering any questions that I had for him. He thoroughly explained to me all of the possible outcomes and deals that the prosecution would try to offer me, and carefully laid out all of the positives and negatives that would come with each of them. After working with him over the past few months, I showed up to the courtroom with my head held high knowing that I was going to be represented by Kevin.

Kevin is very professional and easy to work with. After interviewing several good attorneys with DUI experience, Kevin stood out as he has extensive depth and experience with Title 8 (Department of Natural Resources- Waters) charges. Not only is Kevin well versed in the Maryland Code, he is also... intimately familiar with operating a boat and was able to dissect the case on several different levels. He provided us ample time to discuss our case, and exceptional insight leading up to the court date. We felt comfortable that he knew the intimate details of our case and he would not take a singlular approach in his defensive strategy. As DNR becomes more active on our waterways, it’s nice to know Kevin has the confidence, knowledge and experience to successfully defend recreational boaters.

I had what most would have considered an open and shut case, and did not think that it was possible to obtain the results I did after blowing double the limit. Mr. McDevitt met with me frequently over a 7-month period, explaining each time the possible results associated with the multiple charges r...elated to my DUI/DWI case. At the first court appearance Mr. McDevitt raised questions to the States Attorney (SA) about providing discovery minutes before court, therefore SA requested a continuance to allow us to review discovery. At second court appearance we refused to plead guilty to DUI/DWI and the police officers were not available, so SA requested a second continuance. At third court appearance the police officers were again not available. At this point we had to make a decision, so we offered a plea of negligent to traffic violation and the SA turned us down again. When we were called in front of judge, I believe Mr. McDevitt may have informed SA that the police officers were not available. So instead of asking for trial, which could have been postponed to later date, at recommendation of Mr. McDevitt we plead guilty to lesser traffic violation and the SA accepted our plea. I received a “nolle prosequi” in the more serious charges of DUI/DWI and a guilty to running a red light with a small fine. I am happy with the results and have Mr. McDevitt to thank for encouraging me to be patient and stay the course. I have entered expungement in all alcohol related charges and will no longer have any criminal violations on my record. Mr. McDevitt is high energy but very knowledgeable about the law and what is realistic to expect. He provided examples of past experiences based on his knowledge of the judges and states attorneys, which allowed me to make an informed decision on my expected results.
