Review of Attorney Kevin McDevitt

I had recently sought legal expertise and lawyer service for my traffic ticket from Attorney McDevitt. I found him down-to-earth, approachable, and strongly wanting to help. He proved to be a conscientious, able lawyer for me. He was a master of the situation and of the hearing. Indeed he achieved ...full success and vindication for my trafffic citation and case.

Best attorney

Kevin is a hell of an attorney. In Dec 2017 I was charged with a DUI/DWI. I called Kevin the next day and hired him immediately. He walked me through the entire process from the beginning to the end and even when I was really stressing from all the possible scenarios, he assured me to the best of his... knowledge of all the things, good and bad, that can or could happen. While in the process of prepping for court he took his time and dug deep in to all the information from the police report to my information given and the body cam video. He read and saw the the tiniest things that I didn't notice. When the day for court came, he kept me informed of every little thing that was going on. I can't thank Kevin enough for helping me get all my charges dropped down to just a reckless driving charge. Now I can finally get my career and life back on track.

Top-Notch Attorney!!!!

I would like to start by thanking Kevin for representing me. He is not only a Great Attorney but an even better person. From our initial consultation he was extremely professional and it was apparent that he was not only a highly skilled Attorney but also intimately familiar with the Maryland Court... System specifically St. Mary’s County. Kevin was able to articulate very complex legal scenarios which allowed me to make an informed decision at my trial resulting in a extremely successful outcome. My trial date was almost 2 1/2 months away which was extremely nerve racking for me. However, after my initial consultation with Kevin my mind was at ease knowing exactly what each charge meant and what was required for it to be proven. Kevins passion for his clients was apparent through our conversations of how my trial could negatively impact my families situation. I am extremely thankful to Kevin for representing me and would absolutely recommend to anyone else in need of Top Notch Legal representation to retain Kevin as their Attorney.

Excellent Defense Attorney

Kevin is a fantastic defense attorney that is passionate about his clients and their outcomes. I was facing a DUI charge along with 3 other charges. I firmly believe it is because of Kevin I walked out of court with a Negligent Driving charge, with no points and a $140 fine! What is admirable abo...ut Kevin as a defense attorney is that he is 100% dedicated to your case, he gets involved day one, and continues to build and dissect your case looking for fault/inconsistencies up until the day of you court date. He kept me calm, never pressured me to make decisions hastily, and always reminded me that he was there to give 1000% percent and will fight my case to the very end. He is experienced enough to understand the Maryland court systems, the key players involved, and how it probably will play out in multiple different outcomes. I'm extremely grateful for his attention to detail and his dedication to my case. I couldn't have gotten a better outcome for my situation and it is absolutely due to Kevin. I recommend Kevin 100% and believe you will not find a better Defense Attorney.

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."
