Josh was a really great choice in my case. He was very knowledgeable and fought hard for a good outcome that I don’t think I would have gotten otherwise. He has a lot of experience as a prosecutor which is why I chose him. I spoke with him initially and he was able to walk me through the whole process and kept me informed throughout the ordeal. He wasn’t one to mince words or deal in platitudes. I was initially quite skeptical of what could be done for me and he was able to answer every critical question I had easily. While I would never want to have to hire another attorney and don’t plan on being in such a situation, if I had to I would hire him again.

When our son was charged with a DUI, we felt overwhelmed and unsure of what to expect. As parents, we didn’t know what was coming or how to properly prepare for the process ahead. When I contacted Josh Macktaz, he returned my call the very same day. From the start, Josh calmly explained the situation and helped relieve a great deal of our anxiety. He walked us through all of our options and was incredibly clear and thorough in his communication. Throughout the entire process, he kept us informed every step of the way and was always available to answer our questions. Thanks to Josh’s guidance and expertise, we were able to achieve the best possible outcome for our situation. I truly cannot imagine going through this process without someone like him in our corner. If you are feeling worried, nervous, or unsure about what to do next, I highly recommend reaching out to Josh Macktaz. He will put you at ease and guide you through the entire process with professionalism and care.

I am a senior citizen, and semi-retired RN, who is accustomed to feeling organized but was feeling uncomfortable when I was recently confronted with a legal concern. Recommended by a family friend Josh quickly and efficiently explained details of the situation that was complicating my life. He was so patient and kind and never tired of answering my redundant questions. Every call was answered with a quick thorough reply. Every answer proved to be correct and without fail Josh kept me informed of details that he remembered were of importance to me. His gentlemanly demeanor accompanied by industrious energy put me in the winning circle and now I can carry on with a better mindset. Josh made my problem his problem and peace of mind is everything . Thank you Josh! Maria Cullati, RN

Josh communicated clearly, explained the process in a way that was easy to understand, and was always approachable and easy to talk to. Most importantly, Josh acted quickly and effectively, ultimately securing a reduced charge for my son. We truly felt that he cared about both the legal outcome and the emotional toll the situation was taking on our family. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing strong, compassionate legal representation.

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.

Mr. Macktaz did what he does best — helping people who’ve made mistakes get a real second chance. He helped me get back on my feet after a dumb decision I made, and he was there for me from beginning to end. He tells you straight up what his best professional judgment is, and he always keeps it honest. I see why he’s one of the best lawyers for the work he does. Thank you again for everything.

I feel fortunate to have been referred to Josh by a former client. He took my case with little time to spare before my first appearance in court. He patiently informed me of the process we'd be going through for the next several weeks, describing issues both good and bad that were ahead. What followed were phone calls and emails, gathering information which was used to prepare our trips to both traffic tribunal and criminal courts, getting two offenses removed during the process. The ordeal would have been much worse without an experienced lawyer like Josh in my corner.

Josh is very well established, knowledgeable of the Rhode Island Justice System, and a Very Very good Communicator.

Josh Macktaz knew there were no grounds for my charges and knew that I am a single mother of two, he was gracious with my fees and a weight off my mind! I’ve never been so reassured by a lawyer in all my life-wish I had him for my divorce attorney!

2025-11-17

From the initial phone call , to the final hearing attorney MacKtaz was amazing! Absolutely did what he said , and made the entire process something I didn’t have to worry about. He says what he means. And that speaks volumes about his character. The best thing I did was to have Josh represent me in the worst time of my life. He’s a man of his word.

Attorney Josh Macktaz is the person people should contact if they are in need of expungement services. He took care of our needs in a relatively speedy fashion. He completely addressed our needs and was VERY responsive throughout the whole process. There was no stress in the process and we were kept informed all along the way. I HIGHLY recommend Josh Macktaz for legal assistance = especially when it comes to having legal records expunged or sealed! Thank Mr. Macktaz!!

The experience that I had with Josh was outstanding regarding the circumstances that I was in. There was nothing other than pure professionalism and great communication when dealing with my circumstances. Josh took time out of his Saturday night to provide me with knowledge and information about the situation as our first contact. Following this contact everything that was said and promised held through the whole process, and in turn was left with the best possible outcome. A negative experience was turned into the best possible outcome I could have imagined all thanks to Josh and the hard work he put into my situation.

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.
