Super Knowledgeable and Experienced

I hired Kevin to represent me in a traffic violation that I received in October 2025. I needed a very good lawyer to help me avoid having my Provisional Drivers License reset back to zero. I was only two months away from getting off my Provisional License. Kevin was very understanding of my situation... and guided me through the process of what to do to prepare for my court date. He asked the right questions and sought the best option with the States Attorney representative, so I only had to complete 8 hours community service and have my docket put on an inactive status. His representation and knowledge were awesome.

The real Kevin McDevitt

Kevin McDevitt is very anuthentic and down-to-earth and you can tell he genuinely cares about the wellbeing of his clients. I had a consultation with him after my DUI and he recommended getting an interlock device without charging me for his services claiming there was no argument against my DUI. Lat...er when I received another point for an accident I retained service and he represented me for an MVA hearing with an Administrative Law Judge that was with an independent state agency called the Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH). Kevin is easy to get in touch with and he is detailed and thorough and went to bat for me. I am highly impressed and pleased and we were able to keep my license from being suspended! All in all a very positive experience, thank you!

Review of Attorney K. McDevitt

Review from a repeat customer: I know who to turn to for reliable excellent representation in traffic ticket cases occurring in southern Maryland! Attorney Kevin McDevitt is batting 1,000 with me, having hit home runs in each of his 2 appearances at the plate for me. He’s two for two! For the ...second time, he has achieved the ultimate success: Nolle Prosequi, PJB, and no points in both cases. Very impressive results. That’s what he gets for his having a caring, friendly, hardworking attitude, a great legal knowledge base, and very good judgment. I enjoyed working with him on these 2 cases. I greatly thank Atty. Kevin for his great work on my behalf!

Excellent Lawyer

I cannot recommend Kevin McDevitt enough! When my son found himself facing a ticket and leaving the scene charges, we were understandably anxious about the potential consequences. Fortunately, we decided to hire Mr. McDevitt, and that turned out to be one of the best decisions we could have made. Fr...om the first consultation, Kevin McDevitt was professional, understanding, and incredibly knowledgeable. He took the time to understand the full context of the situation and was proactive in discussing my son’s options. His expertise and strategic approach made us feel confident every step of the way. It was clear that he genuinely cared about achieving the best possible outcome for my son. Thanks to his hard work and dedication, we were thrilled when the charges were reduced to just a fine! We truly appreciate Kevin McDevitt's efforts in navigating this challenging situation. His professionalism and commitment made all the difference. If you are looking for a knowledgeable and reliable lawyer who will fight for you, look no further! Thank you, Kevin McDevitt for your exceptional service!

Excellent, Knowledgeable Lawyer

I hired Kevin to represent me for some traffic citations related to an accident. From the beginning, he was very personable and explained all that would be involved in the process. He recommended I complete a driver improvement course to help him advocate on my behalf. He then presented all potential... options in our meetings leading up to the trial. Throughout the process, he provided sound legal advice to help me with decisions and he was able to negotiate a settlement that allowed me to walk away with no citations and no points on my driving record in return for an affordable fee. If you’re here because the legal services Kevin can offer meet your needs, then I highly recommend you hire him as your 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."
