2025-06-10Finding oneself in the position of being a wrongdoer is certainly nothing to be proud of and of course is grounds for shame and embarrassment. The feelings of seemingly being paralyzed with not knowing what to do or how to represent my character in a court of law after a singular and unfortunate act of irresponsibility are not to be desired. What was desired, was someone that was willing to help in what was singularly one of the lowest points in my life thus far. That someone was Mr. Macktaz. He was everything I could have hoped for to guide me through the legal process and instill a sense of confidence in what was to ensue. His level of professionalism cannot be understated or underestimated. If you yourself are in the position of searching for the best that Rhode Island has to offer, look no further and promptly direct your attention to Joshua Macktaz. He will get the job done and get it done right. Finding myself yourself in court is already uncomfortable and foreign enough, but if it were to happen again, I would want Joshua Macktaz. Get in touch with him today, you will not regret it.
2025-06-09I had a great experience working with this Josh! He kept me updated every step of the way and really came through in court. He managed to reduce the speeding ticket which brought the fine down, plus, he got the court costs waived completely! Super professional, easy to communicate with, and clearly knows how to get results. Highly recommend!
2025-06-08Atty Joshua was amazing he was always in communication and professional. He knows the system and I highly recommend him for anything traffic related and especially if you’re at risk of suspension. Thanks Joshua
2025-05-19Joshua Macktaz is the best lawyer out there, he was straightforward and got all my charges dropped, I had dealt with a corrupt cop who continually pulled me over and charged me with multiple possession’s and DUI, Josh was able to get all that dropped for me! He is fairly cheap a lot cheaper then most lawyers I’d say, and he is very knowledgeable, definitely knows what he is doing and isn’t some public defender who just try’s to get you to take a plea deal he will fight for you!
2025-05-18Highly recommend Attorney Macktaz. He professionally and efficiently handled a complex legal case quickly and while doing so instilled a tremendous amount of confidence with me that success would prevail and that everything would be good. He was correct and I cannot be anymore happier for his performance. I highly recommend Attorney Macktaz!
2025-05-18I've worked with Joshua since 1998 till the present. I've hired him on a few different cases over the years. He's not just got great results in my favor but he has surpassed all expectations. I would definitely recommend him to any client in need of legal representation. Joshua is a great knowledgeable attorney with over 30 years of experience.
2025-05-17I cannot recommend Josh Macktaz highly enough. From the very beginning, he was professional, responsive, and incredibly knowledgeable. He took the time to explain every step of the process in clear, understandable terms and always made sure I felt supported and informed. His dedication and attention to detail truly made a difference in the outcome of my case. If you’re looking for a lawyer who genuinely cares and will fight for your best interests, look no further. Five stars all the way!
2025-05-15If you sre in need of a lawyer who will always represent in a high quality professional way then Josh Macktaz is the lawyer you should seek out.

He provided us with a great outcome and my daughter and myself are very appreciative to say the least. When you are in a situation where you need the best professional lawyer, be sure to call Josh and he will get the best possible outcome! Sara and Steve Carlow
2025-05-09Joshua was wonderful to work with. I found him through a recommendation after having no experience with a lawyer for any reason in life. He made me feel confident in his ability to help me, eased all my stress and anxiety, guided me through every step, and gave me constant reminders things were going to continue in the direction we agreed upon. I never felt a doubt about his ability, and I felt comfortable asking questions even when I second guessed that I was asking silly things. Very professional, and communicative. You get what you pay for and it was worth every penny!
2025-04-17Working with Joshua Macktaz was a pleasure. His professionalism and expertise coupled with detailed explanations and excellent communication at every step provided considerable reassurance during a trying ordeal!
2025-04-15Josh was exactly what I had hoped for when I contacted him. I gave him very short notice (morning of) when I could not make it. He got there, got the date pushed back and gave time to put all my info together. When DMV wouldn’t respond he had reached out to his contact and got me immediate answers. In the end he got 2 tickets fully dismissed. He made this process as easy as it could possibly be. Thank you josh!

2025-02-27I was recently notified by the the State of New Jersey that my online license renewal was being blocked by an outstanding violation in Rhode Island. At the advice of my local NJ attorney, I contacted Joshua Macktaz, esq for local help in navigating a 35 year old traffic violation. Joshua had the knowledge and contacts within the RI DMV to get quick answers and a resolution within days. Joshua and his office were kind, quick and effective. I recommend them 120%. Thank you Joshua!
2025-02-07My experience with Mr. Macktaz was excellent. I presented him with a multifaceted case and he assisted me every step of the way.

2025-01-29Josh put me at ease from the first phone call. He was professional, and very knowledgeable, but still down-to-earth. He explained the court process to me in advance of each step, and allowed plenty of time for questions, so I never felt blindsided.

2025-01-18Josh did a great job and put in a ton of effort into my case. He really stood out from the other lawyers in the court house. If you’re questioning retaining him don’t.
2025-01-07Joshua was helpful and reassurance right from the start. I called him at 7pm on a Sunday night and he immediately answered my call. I told him the details of my case/charges and he helped put away a lot of my fears. He was able to resolve my case within two weeks and I got the best possible results from his as my lawyer.

Referred by a police officer
I called Josh after being referred by a police officer friend of mine. He told me that Josh was the best DUI defense lawyer in RI. He was absolutely correct! Josh was able to get my charges reduced from DUI to Reckless Driving and my license was never suspended. I cannot recommend Josh any higher. If you have been arrested in RI and need the best criminal defense attorney to represent you, then call Josh! Thank you again!
Truly the best criminal defense lawyer in Rhode Island
I could not be happier with Josh Macktaz as my lawyer. He is truly the best criminal defense lawyer in Rhode Island. From our very first meeting (which was on a Sunday!) he made me feel at ease. I have never been arrested before and was very worried how this would affect the rest of my life. Josh was able to explain in detail what I was about to experience and answered all of the questions I had written down. I only had to go to court once and Josh kept me in the loop on everything. Then one day he called me and let me know he got all of my charges dismissed and expunged. If you are in need of a criminal defense lawyer Josh is the best in the business!
I’m incredibly thankful and grateful
Thank you for all you have done. Outside of that I’m in Maine lol when I saw you the plan was North Carolina but I reconnected with the kids I abandoned 7 almost 8 years ago. I didn’t know how it would go when I did. I was taken aback at the overwhelming live and support and they asked me to come up here. I came on the 27th and am just really beside myself with how they just forgave me, missed me, have all these memories of me and can’t wait to meet their sister Skylar.
So I guess I wanted to update you as my attorney and as somewhat of a friend non non-friend that what you did for me has me in the position to do what I’m doing now and I’m incredibly thankful and grateful.
Thank you and I hope you’re doing well and staying safe.
Josh is the best criminal defense lawyer in RI
I could not have been happier with Josh as my criminal defense lawyer. I had never been arrested before and did not know what to expect. I was referred to Josh by a police officer friend of mine who had seen Josh in court. He made me feel much better on our first telephone call and then proceeded to have my criminal charges dismissed and expunged from my record. I am still not exactly sure how he did it! Josh is the best criminal defense lawyer in RI, thank you Josh!
