About Kevin Wade
Kevin Wade DeVore began his academic journey at the University of Saint Thomas, where he completed a Bachelor of Arts in Business Marketing in 1991. He went on to earn his Juris Doctor from William Mitchell College of Law in 1996. Those formative years combined business training and legal study, an unusual pairing that informs how he approaches cases and client counseling.
After law school DeVore entered private practice. He is admitted to practice in both Minnesota and Wisconsin and serves as a lawyer at DeVore Law Office, P.A. He holds a Minnesota State Bar Association certification as a Criminal Law Specialist, a credential that denotes a recognized level of expertise in criminal law under the state bar’s standards.
His work centers on criminal defense. He handles cases across the criminal docket, including driving-related offenses, and represents individuals at various stages of the criminal process. He aims to assess the legal landscape for each client and to present practical options in plain language. Courtroom work and negotiations appear in his practice alongside pretrial advocacy and motions work.
Professional associations form a steady part of his professional life. He is a member of the American Bar Association and the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. He also belongs to the Minnesota Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and the Minnesota Society of Criminal Justice. Local and federal groups are on his roster as well, including the Hennepin County Bar Association, Ramsey County Bar Association, Minnesota State Bar Association and the Federal Bar Association. He is also a member of the National College for DUI Defense, Inc.
Those memberships inform continuing education and peer engagement rather than office promotion. They provide forums for case law updates, technical training and discussion with colleagues. DeVore balances those professional ties with the daily demands of private practice at DeVore Law Office, P.A. He maintains a practice focused on criminal defense and driving-related matters in Minnesota and Wisconsin.
