Excellent!
I hired Kevin J. Mcdevitt after being charged with multiple accounts of DUI and DWI charges. With this being my first offense, I was not familiar with the court or legal systems. Not only did Kevin familiarize me with the systems, he made sure that I was comfortable and confident when it finally came...

Current Day Perry Mason
Without a doubt, Mr. McDeviitt is the 2017 version of defense attorney Perry Mason. Just as Perry Mason defends dozens of falsely accused people and he manages to clear each and every one of them, so does Kevin J. McDevitt, Esquire. I have hired Mr. McDevitt several times for several different types...

Kevin McDevitt is a great lawyer. He truly has his client's best interests in mind and will do everything possible to ensure a positive outcome.

Attention to every detail
Mr. McDevitt kept me informed and helped me understand the complex issues I was facing. I'd hire him again in a heartbeat and am very thankful to have found him as my lifelong attorney.

Great service
Mr McDevitt assisted me in a very personal manner. First he explained the potential negative affects of the situation then tested me to ensure the understanding. I was never in doubt or had any questions that didn't receive a knowledgeable an honest answer. I prepared myself for a less than favorable...
"Mr. McDevitt is an extremely sharp legal mind. I routinely reach out to him to discuss cutting edge legal issues and tactics. He is diligent, highly competent, and he knows St. Mary's County like the back of his hand. I endorse him without hesitation."
"I strongly endorse attorney Kevin McDevitt. Over the last 4 years, I have collaborated and consulted with him on scores of DUI/DWI and criminal matters. He is an experienced and competent advocate who zealously represents and works in the best interests of his clients. Notably, he is particularly sensitive to the adverse impact that an alcohol-related or criminal charge could have on the career of a military service member or federal government employee who holds a security clearance -- and he acts accordingly. Mr. McDevitt always represents his client in a manner that will afford him the best chance of retaining his security clearance. Having myself practiced in the field of National Security Law for the last 18 years, I must note that that Mr. McDevitt's sensitivity to and knowledge of the potential impact of DUI/DWI or criminal charges on a security clearance holder -- and how to handle such situations -- clearly distinguish him from most other attorneys."
"I endorse this lawyer. This lawyer is one of the finest DWI attorneys in the State. In addition he is highly professional and agressive"
"I enthusiastically endorse this lawyer. I have had the pleasure to have known and observed Attorney McDevitt for several years. I am very impressed with his skill and knowledge in the areas of DUI and criminal defense. He works hard to maintain the expertise needed to competently represent the citizen accused."
