Traffic case

From the moment I received a call back from Kevin regarding my case, I felt at ease. First, he returned my call within a few hours from leaving a message and secondly met with me the following day. As nervous as I was, Mr. McDevitt made me feel at ease. He was extremely knowledgeable and very prof...essional. He explained everything to me in laymen's terms so that I truly understood what could or could not happen in court. Just as he explained to me in his office what was possibly going to happen actually did happen in court. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome in court than I received. Mr. McDevitt treated me with the utmost respect and also took the time to make me feel like I was his only client. If you are in need of an outstanding, professional, and knowledgeable attorney then Mr. Kevin McDevitt is the one I suggest you contact. He is well worth every penny you spend.

Solid Lawyer

Kevin J. McDevitt was retained by me in short notice to represent me against a Petition for Protection. Kevin returned by initial call at his firm located in Leonardtown, Md. A thorough interview was conducted by Kevin. His concern for my Government security clearance and the fact I was being false...ly accused made me feel secure in getting the case denied. The case was held three days after my initial interview and his professional expertise off and in the District Court of Calvert County Maryland got the Judge to rule against a very complicated case. The Judge denied the petition for protection. An excellent lawyer. A true professional.

Highly Recommend

Being a great lawyer requires a combination of high intelligence, strong analytical and advocacy skills, and an ability to communicate effectively, and in my opinion Kevin McDevitt has all the above. He exemplify all these traits and many more. He is personable, poised and articulate. I was proud to ...have him represent our son. I knew from day one, once Kevin decided to take my sons case, that everything was going to work out and it did. Kevin has a passion for criminal law which shows in his everyday expertise, which fosters a high level of commitment to his work. He is a fighter and has the biggest heart, so you have the best of both worlds. He is willing to fight for your rights and has the ability to feel your pain. He understands this clients’ objectives, and advocate on that basis. I highly recommend Kevin McDevitt’s Law firm. I can’t thank him enough for helping our son get out of his unfortunate difficulty. Without Kevin’s abilities and big heart my son would have never overcome this adversity. All I can say is thank you Kevin, Thank you.

Excellent and Hard Working Lawyer

A few Month's back I hired Kevin J. Mcdevitt for my fifth Dui. From day one of meeting him he took the time to explain everything to me in details of what could happen and the steps of the process. I completely understood and was very confident when leaving his office I had chosen the right person ...to handle my case. He also to this day has actually encouraged me to maintain sobriety and helped with all the steps in that nature also. He kept in contact every week if not twice a week and on Holiday's just to make sure I was still doing what it took to change into the person I have today. He is very Caring person and understands all your needs and works very hard to get the best for you. He goes above and beyond in your case the from beginning to the end. I ended up with 10 days and Recovery court to help keep my sobriety which is 4 months now. I would highly recommend him for your needs he will give you 110% and always is there working for you. I would never expect my life the way it is now all with the thanks to Kevin J. Mcdevitt.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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."

DUI and DWI lawyer | Mar 14

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"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."
