"Josh Macktaz is an exceptional attorney in Rhode Island. I am thoroughly satisfied with the outcome of my case. I am at a loss for how he achieved such a remarkable result, but he ensured that I was charged with the most favorable possible offense. To my astonishment, my DUI charge was completely dismissed! If you ever find yourself in legal trouble, I highly recommend seeking Josh’s representation. He is not only a skilled attorney but also a great person to work with."
