Working 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!
Josh 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!
We used Josh in a time of need and from the very beginning until our situation was resolved he was informative, hands on, and walked us through the entire process. Greatful for his help and guidance! Highly recommend!!
Mr. Macktaz helped me get the best possible results for my case. He was rather personable and helped alleviate any of my concerns and anxieties about the predicament I had gotten myself into. I recommend him to anyone with a similar problem with the law. Having someone familiar with the laws in Rhode Island is essential.
First time I’ve been in a situation where I needed a lawyer and Mr Josh did a fantastic job at explaining everything and being there through the whole process! Great man!
Josh was the first lawyer I talked to that made me feel comfortable & confident with my case, as well as the outcome. We got the best possible outcome for my situation. Josh made me feel confident during a confusing process. Ensuring I understood what was happening each step of the way. This was my first time having a lawyer, he did not disappoint! Glad I had a friend refer me to Josh, I’ll be referring him to any friend in a similar situation.
Josh was extremely helpful in supporting me through this difficult time. He is professional and thorough. I would recommend him to anyone needing legal advice.
10/10 Service. Very professional. He understands what he’s doing and is fighting for a good cause.
Josh took care of a ticket for me without my having to travel back to RI from NJ. It was a painless and successful transaction eliminating a lot of stress. Excellent communication. Highly recommend.
Excellent lawyer went to him after speaking with another lawyer that told me he couldn’t do anything for me. Joshua took my case won it for me. He is very caring and very knowledgeable in criminal law. I’m so very thankful for what he did for me and absolutely highly recommend him
Joshua was kind, patient and caring. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an honest man who will explain the process step by step! I cannot thank you enough!!
I 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!
My experience with Mr. Macktaz was excellent. I presented him with a multifaceted case and he assisted me every step of the way. He was consistently available whether by email or phone to answer questions and communicate the court/ judicial process as needed. Most importantly, I felt as if he became a trusted confidant in soothing any anxieties revolving around the judicial process. I would highly recommend Josh for legal representation.

He is very responsive, understanding got the best results in my case. I would highly recommend Joshua to anyone who is looking for an experienced criminal defense attorney.

Josh 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. Having a lawyer who made me feel supported and prepared removed a lot of stress from the situation. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Experienced Lawyer, best outcome I could possibly ask for. If you need representation and great results this is your guy. Appreciate everything and will recomend everyone that needs help his way.
Joshua is the BEST by far in the Northeast possibly on the East coast! If you want a extremely reliable, confident, detail oriented lawyer, Joshua is the man for the job. Joshua's experience with the legal system is second to none on ANY level. Definitely would recommend for any issues state or federal. Thank you for representing me Josh.
Josh 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.
Joshua 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. Everything went as planned/expected and he always answered my calls and addressed my concerns asap. He was truly an amazing person to have standing by my side and I was so fortunate to have him representing me. He was professional and well respected by everyone in court as well, I felt proud to have him as my lawyer. Thank you Joshua again and I STRONGLY recommend this gentleman as a lawyer.
Josh made the court process quick and easy. He got the best outcome for the situation I was put in and the communication of what I needed to do was clear. Highly recommended!!
Commend for professional approach and always top of the things.
Ive never hired or worked with a lawyer before. I think we can all agree it can be a little intimidating. Josh was the first and only lawyer I reached out to late Sunday night after reading 5 star review after 5 star review. He immediately called me first thing the next morning and answered all my questions right away. He was extremely attentive, understanding, knowledgable, and kept my parents and I in the loop every step of the way. He put our minds at ease and set out to do exactly as he said. I could go on forever with how wonderful Josh, his office, and the whole process was. If you find yourself in a legal pickle, dont hesitate to have Josh Macktaz on your side!!
I recently had a driving incident that required me to seek an attorney. It was my fault, but it was being blown out of proportion, and I needed help. I told Josh my side of the story, that there were circumstances that made it difficult to discern. It wasn't a cut and dry case. Josh took the time to look into it himself. He saw for himself what i was saying that no one believed. He then got the prosecutor to review the evidence that they weren't presented with, and as a result, the penalties were reduced to a level that was more suited to the offense. I can not thank him enough for all his time and effort. I would suggest him in any criminal case.
He did a good job and kept good communication throughout the whole process,would hire again 100%
Josh did a great job he made me feel very comfortable in a not so good situation. He help my boyfriend and when i ran into my situation I didn't hesitate to give him a call back to help me and he didn't disappoint thank you again josh Priscilla
Mr. Macktaz is an excellent defense attorney. He is extremely experienced, very knowledgeable and detail orientated. We got the best possible outcome for our case. I would have no hesitation in recommending Josh.
Where do I start? Most likely, you’re in need of a lawyer and reading reviews to find someone who can help. Well, look no further because….Mistakes happen to good people! I was in need of legal advice and a few friends said, “CALL MACKTAZ!” Fortunately I never needed to seek legal advice until a recent arrest. I explained my situation to Joshua Macktaz via email and within 24hours i receive a call from him. NOT a paralegal or an associate. It was him! I explained the unfortunate circumstances again in which He listened and executed with a plan! Everything he mentioned from DAY 1 was accurate! HE was able to have my case dismissed AND expunged!!!! I remember telling Joshua that after speaking with him the very first time that i felt a sense of relief. Anyone can tell you anything they want over the phone but, believe me, he did EVERYTHING he said he was going to do! You can just tell by the way he carries himself in the courtroom. He is CONFIDENT AND DEDICATED! If you’re reading this and looking for the best Criminal Lawyer in Rhode Island. This is your guy! MACKTAZ!!!!
It was a pleasure working with Joshua. He did everything he promised me that he would do plus a little more. He was very quick with his responses and explained everything thoroughly since day 1. If it’s your first time in a situation and you’re not sure who to call, Josh is your guy.
Josh made the court processes as quick and painless as possible. My expectations and tasks were clearly laid out, and he was always quick to reply with any further instructions. The outcome of my case was great and turned out even better than expected. Highly recommend!
We hired Josh immediately after speaking to him on the phone. I knew that he was going to do a good job. We had great results from the process, and he made the experience very easy. This gentleman cares, and knows his law. Look no further. Thank you Josh.

Charges were dismissed and expunged within 3 weeks of hiring Josh
I cannot say enough about Josh. He is professional, well-known, and makes you feel at ease even during difficult times. I had never been arrested before and did not know what to expect. From the very first call with Josh I could tell I was in good hands. Other lawyers I spoke with were vague and wishy-washy with their answers. Josh answered every single question I ever asked clearly, and he got great results.
My charges were dismissed and expunged within 3 weeks of hiring Josh. Don’t waste your time throwing darts and hoping you get a good lawyer. Josh is the best

I am so glad I hired Josh as my lawyer
I am so glad I hired Josh as my lawyer. I had never been arrested before and did not know where to turn. A police officer friend of mine recommended Josh and he is the BEST! He got my charges dismissed and expunged. And he returned every call and email I sent to him right away. He told me he does not have a magic wand, but he actually does!
Thank you Josh!

A police officer referred me to Josh
I was so scared when I was arrested that I didn’t know where to turn. A police officer friend referred me to Josh and I could not be happier. He had my charges reduced and I never lost my license. He kept me in the loop the entire time and returned every call and email I made to his office. If you have been arrested for anything, call Josh!

I will recommend you to anyone I know who needs a lawyer
I cannot thank you enough for your hard work and representation on my case. I did not know where to turn when I was arrested and luckily I found you on Google.

I still don’t know how you did it, but a magician doesn’t show his tricks, right? I will recommend you to anyone I know who needs a lawyer. Thank you!
