When my son got into some legal trouble and needed a defense attorney I did much research and asked people who have dealings with attorneys who they would recommend. Josh Mactaz’s name was mentioned often, so I hired him to defend my son. Josh’s reputation is impeccable, and still, he exceeded my expectations. I could not be happier with the results of the case. It was the result I was hoping for, a result that an attorney I consulted with previous to Josh said would be very difficult and “unrealistic” to get. Josh knows the law inside and out, truly cares about his clients, and will work tirelessly for the best possible outcome. If you need a defense attorney, I would without hesitation, highly recommend Josh Mactaz.

Josh Macktaz is an extremely knowledgeable and skillful attorney who is a model of clarity in explaining even complex matters in the most comprehensible manner. He clearly outlined an effective strategy and then effectively implemented it. I give him my highest recommendation. On top of it all, he is a courteous and personable individual - moreover, a person with integrity

I highly recommend the services of Josh Macktaz. He was responsive, efficient and very realistic about my case and the associated penalties. My legal costs were exactly as he suggested on our first call (which were fair). He is very knowledgeable of the Rhode Island law and has very strong contacts at the traffic tribunal. Related, he handled minor hearings without me which saved me money and travel time. He did the best possible job for a guy in my situation. Anyone that has a drunk driving charge in RI that does not consider Josh Macktaz is risking their future and wasting their dollars.

My experience with Josh was beyond positive. If I could rate higher than five stars I would. Through out my entire process he was professional, straightforward, knowledgeable and understanding. It did not take long after meeting him I knew I needed him to represent me. Although my road was long Josh stuck with me every step of the way. There is no doubt in my mind without him I would not have been able to get the best possible outcome in my case. For that my family and I are forever grateful to him. He truly is a master of his craft and a fighter through and through. If you need representation look no further " This is the Man you want In your corner."

After meeting with several lawyers I chose Mr. Macktaz to represent me. His professionalism and positive attitude helped ease the stress of a difficult situation. Josh provided a detailed timeline of the court process and was clear on what my expectations should be. He was prompt in returning my calls and answered any questions or concerns that I had. I would recommend Josh to anyone in need of representation as he went above and beyond in securing the best possible outcome for my case.

I will start off by saying I knew nothing about the criminal or traffic court system until March 2018. I made a choice to have one too many and was arrested (DUI). Dealing with the embarrassment of an arrest and fear of losing my job, I "google searched for a DUI lawyer" and Josh Macktaz name appeared. Although apprehensive about using a a Google Review to determine my future, I made the call.
This is my experience...
1) Mr. Macktaz made time to meet me the day I outreached him. (free consultation)
2) During our initial meeting Macktaz outlined in detail what I had ahead of me; including court dates and car insurance details.
3) Mr. Macktaz was at every court appearance and explained what was going to happen in court and the potential outcome.
4) He was confident in what the outcome would be... and he was right!

In closing... would I retain Mr. Macktaz if I ever needed criminal representation again? Yes, he would be my first phone call. He continually follows up with his clients. I never felt the need to outreach Mr. Macktaz since he called or emailed first!

Josh was very professional and extremely knowledgeable of my situation. He took the time to meet with me face to face multiple times to gather all the facts so he could develop the best plan possible. After collecting the facts he sat me down and he discussed all the options I had and why certain options may or may not be available in my situation. During this very difficult time, I at least felt comfortable that I received the best possible outcome and Josh is the reason why. A true professional through and through.

I unfortunately found myself in a tough situation and was very happy to have found Josh to represent me. He is professional and explained everything that would happen. He did a great job representing me and ending up getting the bigger charges dropped and better results than I could've hoped for. I highly recommend him to anyone who may be in need of his services. Thanks again, Josh for all of your help.

For someone who is totally new to the court system Josh took the time to sit and explain options,situations and solutions before he even a dollar was given. He made you feel protected within the court system, and I would recommend him to anyone looking for good help. He was a total down to earth and knowledgeable person someone you'd want on your side. Any help or questions I had were solved within hours by email and he kept connected with me throughout the whole process. Me and my whole family are greatful for the help! Thanks Josh !

Just want to personally thank Attorney Joshua Macktaz for his help with my refusal case in Tiverton. Mostly for his putting my mind at ease and his being completely thorough. Joshua explained the whole process of a refusal case to a tee. Everything happened exactly as explained. I actually shopped around for lawyers and Joshua was above and beyond the best I've spoken too. Not to mention. His price was competitive and lower than most. What more can you ask for.
Thanks again Joshua. Hope my review helps others make up thier mind when shopping for a lawyer. You won't be disappointed I personally guarantee you this.
Kudos Attorney Joshua Macktaz!!!!!

Can’t even imagine the mess I would be in with out Joshua’s help. I was guided from the prompt first returned phone call through the entire process. The following day after my event we meet in Newport for a free consultation and he basically told me how things would unfold. In the end I achieved the best possible outcome for me and I owe it to the relationships he has developed and the years of experience that he brings to the table.

From the beginning my case had a lot of difficulties and as we continued, new obstacles kept coming up. Josh always took the time to explain everything to me and to make sure I understood what was going on with my case. Every obstacle we encountered, he was always able to work around it and find solutions. He worked very hard to make sure I got a fair result from my case. Overall, Josh is a lawyer that truly cares about his clients and would go the extra mile to help. I strongly believe I wouldn’t have received the results I got without a lawyer like Josh. Highly recommend his services.

Everyone makes mistakes in life, no one is perfect. Whether it's due to bad choices, poor decision making or letting your emotions get the better of you. Bad things can happen to good people. I made just such a mistake recently and was very fortunate to have a friend refer me to Mr. Macktaz's office. From the very beginning he layed everything out to me in language that I would comprehend about the circumstances I had found myself in. Not once giving me false hope or blowing smoke up my ***. His professionalism and integrity were beyond reproach. Him and his firm were by my side throughout the whole ordeal and it gave me a peace of mind that I wouldn't have had otherwise knowing that they had my best interest at heart and would do everything in their power to get me the best possible outcome. They kept me in the loop and answered any if my questions no matter how mundane. I will gladly refer them to any of my friends and family that may require legal representation in the future. I just want to thank them once again for helping me. Like I said before everyone is entitled to make mistakes and I'm thrilled that I was lucky to have them in my corner.

Don't believe everything you read! I learned this the hard way. I foolishly thought these reviews were genuine when it is obvious that the majority of them are being posted by a paid source. I don't care how good you are, it is virtually IMPOSSIBLE to get 100% 5-star reviews! And curiously, no one has been unhappy with Josh Macktaz but me? In his hands, I suffered a pretty bad outcome and very poor service. I found him to be condescending when he spoke to me and strongly felt that he had already made a decision on how he thought everything would turn out before I even went to court. As such, he made a minimal effort in defending me. People who I have told about the outcome of my case are shocked over the severity of the penalties that I received in respect to the charge. I truly regret the day I hired him. If I could turn back time, I would choose another lawyer who isn't loudly blasting his horn about how great he is. Remember, when someone is excellent at what they do, their actions speak a thousand times louder than (cheaply paid) words.
