Kevin is a great guy and highly skilled attorney. He kept me out of jail (possibly prison) and even made it so I did not have to appear in court. A diligent lawyer that has a detailed knowledge of the local legal system. I am very grateful for Mr. McDevitt's services and it was money well spent.

DUI
Long long story short I got multiple citations including a DUI a DWI in a car accident that totaled my car. Also I perform poorly on the field sobriety test and I refuse to do a breathalyzer so I called Kevin the next day and at first I had concerns and was worried what I was facing jail time and pos...

DUI in Leonardtown, MD
When I was pulled over for a DUI in April of 2018 the first thing that came to mind was, "my career is over." I did decided not to take the breathalyzer and did very poorly in my field sobriety test. Through the recommendation of my cousin who is a lawyer in Kansas I gave Mr. Kevin J. McDevitt a call...

A great lawyer
I was wrongly acused of multiple second degree assault charges and hired Mr McDevitt. He worked with me almost weekly helping me to prepare for my case and when the time came he was able to get the charges dropped. I was very satified with Mr McDevitt and would highly recommend him to anyone who ne...

5th driving on revoked and many other traffic offenses
Once again Kevin did and exceptional job with his professional knowledge and aggressive gunslinging defensive mannerism that anyone would want for there defense in a courtroom trial. He has never been the plea bargain type of lawyer that is the normal procedure in saint marys county these days. Kevi...
"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."
