Richard G Kent

Richard Kent represented me in a custody case. I spent a year with another attorney and wasn’t permitted to see my children. After two weeks with Richard representing me not only did we see progress, we secured monthly visitations with my two sons. Richard was compassionate and yet still direct, wh...ich I very much appreciated. He delivered results which far exceeded my expectations. He’s the first family lawyer I’ve had over the course of 4 years who I felt was truly competent, and not in it for just the retainer. You’d be doing yourself a favor by making him a part of your team.

I had a contentious divorce, which later brought on a heated custody battle over my 12 yr old son, who decided he preferred to live with me in CT instead of with his mother in PA. I retained Attorney Kent in the custody case where he developed a well-conceived "battle plan" (because that's what it wa...s) all the time keeping me informed about legal concepts with which I was unfamiliar, such as the Parental Kidnapping Statute and the Doctrine of Significant Connections, while also keeping me calm during the heated moments. I prevailed and got principal, albeit shared custody, which is what my son and I both wanted. Attorney Kent did a great job, was professional and sensitive to our needs and feelings in that upsetting time.

Mr. Kent has worked with me for five years in a highly volatile divorce and custody case. He knows how the system works better than anybody and will give you a real assessment of your case and not sugarcoat things. Even though he is a tough as nails trail attorney, he is not an attorney that will t...ry to get into a long, costly trial unless it is the last option. He has given me some very painful assessments of my case during these years, but they were always with my son's best interests in mind. He is also very deeply concerned about his clients. Lastly, he was instrumental in me obtaining sole custody of my son despite a long and painful legal battle.
