Lawyer Born and Raised in Good Old St. Mary's County
Kevin McDevitt recently represented me for numerous traffic violations, including alcohol too. If you are looking for a confident, knowledgeable, and experienced lawyer born and raised in St. Mary's County , Kevin McDevitt is your man. He took time to explain all the pertinent workings of my case and...
"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."
