Avoid

Be cautious with this lawyer he is terrible to deal with. Do not recommend. He was unprepared very angry all the time and misrepresented himself big time.

Beyond grateful

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.

Best lawyer I’ve ever had

Richard Kent represented me in a child custody case and a child support case. He is very knowledgeable, easy to reach, focuses on the key aspects of the case and gets things done rapidly without sacrificing accuracy. He is by far the best attorney I have ever retained. I do not hesitate to recommend ...him. A consummate professional.

Highly recommend Richard Kent

Mr. Kent is ethical, extremely knowledgeable and gets the job done properly. He is able to cut thru all the emotion and get to the heart of what is important. In our first meeting, he explained everything precisely. He was clear about the law and dissolved all my fears. He stood between me & my e...x-husband and always had my back. My ex-husband tried every technique to get what he wanted, including twisting the truth, changing counsel 3x and then representing himself. Richard Kent never tired, was always consistent and prevailed in a favorable outcome. I highly recommended Richard Kent.

Excellent Attorney

Mr. Kent represented my husband in a very contentious case. With everything that my husband went through, I feel that Mr. Kent was always available, honest, and beyond knowledgeable. Although nothing in the divorce went smoothly, Richard Kent was able to aid in facilitatating all of our goals. I am ...sure Mr. Kent is exhuasted from the years of the divorce and custody turmoil, but he still always treats my husband and any new (or on-going issues) as a priority. I highly recommend Mr. Kent.
