The BEST!

Kevin is a top shelf attorney and knows the law, from the various Courts through the Office of Administrative Hearings, and easily maneuvers through the Court system swiftly. Kevin knows the DoD and is familiar with security clearances and the requirements to keep yours safe. I highly recommend Kev...in, and guarantee that he will get you the result that you want in a thorough and professional manner. Kevin is hands down the best!!

DUI Case

This was an incredibly stressful situation for me mainly because I was fearful of the negative impact this would have on my clearance and career with the DoD. Mr. McDevitt helped alleviate that stress, not only, by meeting with me many times to ensure I was comfortable with our stance when going t...o court, but, by also connecting me with a DoD Clearance lawyer who helped draft documents to satisfy my clearance reporting requirements. He was extremely professional and went out of his way to help me resolve my case with the best result possible. My case end result was a guilty plea for reckless driving, all other charges were Nolle Prosequi. I would highly recommend Mr. McDevitt for all DUI related cases.

A Recent Client

I had heard good things about Mr. Mcdevitt. Little did I know how lucky I was. I found Mr. Mcdevitt to be easy to communicate with, energetic, knowledgeable, and organized. Mr McDevitt guided me through the process of a DUI citation and potential security clearance issue. He gave me so much confidenc...e to approach the situation. He insured I had a clear and understandable view what I could do to help, what he was going to do to help. The result turned out exactly as I wanted. I will not hesitate to retain Mr McDevitt if needed.

Excellent DUI Lawyer

I contacted Kevin immediately following my arrest for DUI/DWI and am extremely glad I did. I was in a situation where an alcohol related conviction could have severely damaged my job on base and security clearance status. He was honest with me from the start about potential outcomes and understood th...at I was willing to accept a significant amount of risk to protect my career. Kevin convinced the prosecutor to drop the DUI and DWI charges in a deal where I would accept reckless driving. With the alcohol related charges dismissed, I gladly accepted and received probation before judgement.

Vehicle case on NAS Patuxent River Base

I had an awesome experience with Kevin McDevitt with my case. I hired him to help me with my case from NAS Patuxent River base. He explained my case and the law in great detail so I would fully understand it. I was told that my case is serious but he would do his best to help me with it. When I went ...back to his office for our last meeting before court. He told me that everything was dropped and himself and I did not have to show up in court. I will always recommend him to anyone, he is a great lawyer.

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."
