 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was really pleased with Kevin’s abilities to help me. I got a dui (2nd) with a high bac and I was facing some serious charges and the overall outcome of my case went way better than I ever could have asked for thanks to Kevin. He was really knowledgeable and easy to work with. He did an amazing job. Can’t thank him enough.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Five stars are not enough!!!  Kevin represented me in a recent criminal case in Ramsey County and I am here to tell you that if you or a loved one is facing criminal charges you want Kevin Devore as your attorney.
I was arrested in Ramsey County and charged with a serious felony. A friend recommended Kevin. Kevin came and met with me while I was being detained. Right away I liked him, I have had attorneys in that past that I felt were judging me or that gave me the feeling like they didn't think very highly of me. I didn't get that feeling from Kevin at all. I hired him and right away  he was able to get my bail reduced by 75 percent saving me thousands.
Over the next six months and quite a few court appearances Kevin was right there with me. The way that an Attorney is received by the "courtroom people" i.e. the clerk, the prosecutor, the judge,  etc... is a good indicator of the legal "pull' they have, and Kevin was well received, they all knew him and seemed to like and respect him. It helps, trust me
Another stand out thing about Kevin is that he was always available to me, returning calls promptly and addressing any issues or concerns I had in a timely manner unlike other lawyers I have had that made it seem like I was bothering them.
Though hands down the thing that impressed me the most about Kevin's representation is the outcome of my case! During that first meeting with Kevin I joked with him that I would mow his lawn forever if he kept me out of jail. Well I am happy to report that I'll be mowing with a smile on my face, thanks Kevin.

It was the most horrifying time of my life and Kevin was there every single step of the way and any time I needed assurance and a confidence building.  Kevin is steady, knowledgeable and I could not imagine walking through what I walked through without a man of integrity like Kevin.  I have never met such a humble attorney as he.  I asked him why he would help such people in such positions he simply said, "I like to help people" and it was nothing but truth. Thank you Kevin and Lori.  Blessing to you and your future.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I could not be more happy with Attorney Kevin Devore representing me. He was completely professional in every way, and he never gave me false hope of my situation. Nevertheless, he was able to reduce a charge I did not think could be reducible. Hiring Mr. Devore was the best decision I made in hiring a defense attorney. I talked to a number of attorneys before choosing Mr. Devore. Some lawyers used scare tactics, some oversold their ability to help me the client, but that was never Mr. Devore, he always told the truth. Importantly, he knows Washington County, and I could tell he is a respected lawyer with prosecutors and judges. I can’t believe he has any former clients that would be been disappointed in him. Again, best decision I made to hire Attorney Kevin Devore.
