DRE Expert
Kevin was recommended to me by a friend. I was facing several DUI (drug-related) charges - first time offense. From our first consultation, Kevin was straightforward and clear with his explanations and laid out all possible scenarios. I had great anxiety about my case, but he put me at ease and I f...

Completely Satisfied!
To say I’m satisfied would be an understatement. I was facing nine years for multiple gun/weapon charges paired with a drug charge. While searching for a reputable attorney, Kevin McDevitt was recommended to me by a good friend. From the moment that we met to discuss my charges/case, he was very str...

AWESOME!
Kevin McDevitt represented my son in District Court. He was very direct and told him what the outcomes could be. I was truly impressed by his willingness to explain all details and honesty. He also assisted him outside of the courthouse with additional paperwork without additional charges. I HIGH...

Best defense
Today my son went to court on alcohol related charges. Going into this we were overwhelmed with all the possible outcomes, but it helped tremendously having Mr. McDevitt take charge and handle all of the details prior to the court date. Our case was not the type that would be a slam dunk by nature, b...

Great job
This attorney is excellent. He knows how to focus on a strategy of attack and wins. I had a very unusual case and he was able to take it on successfully.
"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."
