Josh Macktaz represented me on a driving offense and I am very grateful for his work. From the beginning, he was responsive and professional, and he took the time to explain my options and what to expect in court. Communication was excellent with timely updates, clear guidance, and straightforward advice. The outcome reflected strong preparation and effective advocacy. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone who needs a criminal defense attorney.

Josh Macktaz is a FANTASTIC lawyer! I sent him a message regarding my case, and he called me same day and gave me a consult and information on my case. I was asking him to achieve a result that was very unlikely given the circumstances. BUT with his hardwork and expertise, he got me EXACTLY what I asked for! I am extremely happy I chose the perfect lawyer. From the moment he called me; to the final verdict; he kept me up to date, calm, and reassured that we would win and we did! I would 1000% recommend him to my friends and family.

I had Josh 3 years ago as my lawyer & he was so efficient & did exactly what he said he was going to do. Today, I am writing cause I had an unresolved matter on my end & he got back to me asap & got the situation resolved immediately. I say that to say he’s the best lawyer ever & he gets the job done & doesn’t waste time. I would recommend him a million times over. Thank you for being amazing Josh!

If you ever find yourself in a situation where you need a criminal defense attorney, there is no one more qualified than Attorney Josh Macktaz. I found Josh online after googling best attorneys in Rhode Island. I wasn't sold at that point because who knows who is credible and trustworthy so I contacted an attorney I had used in the past (family court) to get a second opinion. Josh was highly recommended and we were told to search no further because he was the best. And I can honestly say, he truly was. During my initial consultation, Josh listened patiently as I hysterically tried to explain what led up to my arrest for simple assault. I was 58 years old, never had a criminal record and didn't know what to do. Josh calmly explained to me the court process in detail and what would happen at each step, alleviating some of my anxiety. At my first in person meeting with Josh at the courthouse, his down to earth personality made discussing the in depth details of the case that much easier. His calm demeanor and confidence gave me that reassurance that everything would work out for the best. Josh has years of experience, knows the ins and outs of the law, and is respected by his colleagues in the courtroom. He stands behind you one hundred percent and works diligently to get you the best outcome. Throughout my case, I had many questions and concerns. Josh was always quick to respond to each phone call, text or email. He gave me complete honesty, never sugar coating anything. No question, Josh Macktaz is the attorney you want by your side for criminal defense. Thank you again, Josh, pushing to get the six month filing outcome we were looking for.
