We still have rights

Paul helped me out on a appeal and when your dealing with a failure of a chemical test and the motor vehicle administration it ends up going to the attorney general and luckily Paul Kent knows how to navigate this area well. I still had to go to Florida and get a license there after a 1 year suspensi...on and over corrupt cops you see the dui was dismissed so I was doing a suspension on a unlawful arrest but when it comes to suing the police all these punk lawyers gets scared and want nothing to do with it. Even if I had actual hard evidence proving it was unlawful but they also have a certain amount of immunity but we have civil rights and he just took the easy money and ran but did not want to help me with my rights

The best of the best

He takes his work seriously and not only won my case I realized I should have used him for many more. I was a bit rude and regret it because he no longer wants to speak with me and it’s good to know people like him. It’s very corrupt here

Businessman

I was extremely lucky to have had the opportunity to hire Attorney Paul , I met after i came across an article he is one of the best lawyer to work with in Maryland and sure to that he is the best Attorney who works with incredible commitment, integrity and above all honesty. Paul took the matter at... hand absolute dedication and his love for his job helped me get a favourable ruling in my case in the circuit district court of montongomery county , i highly recommended Attorney Paul to any person looking to be represented in matters concerning the law , he not only does his job but also cares about people , God bless you , keep you and protect you all the the days of your life.

3rd DUI.

I met Paul years ago through the former best defense attorney in all of Maryland - Rebecca Nitken - May god rest her soul. However Paul in his own right is a Fantastic defense attorney and without him is I’d be locked away for years. He is thoughtful, respectful and understanding. I got the greatest ...deal possible against a tough judge. Paul never gave up. Worked his skills to the max and I’m confident if I risked my life the way I gamble he would’ve won my case too! Thanks again Paul for the GREAT result and the chance to continue my life normally!

Dwi

Paul is the most honest, caring, knowledgeable lawyer I’ve known. He knew in my case, it was really an allergic reaction to a medicine that I blacked out on which, I was charged with a DUI. I didn’t have the money upfront and Paul let me make payments. It took some time, but the job he did was incred...ible and he got the DUI dismissed. He made me feel like a real human being, not a criminal. He took the time to really listen to me and believe me, and with his legal knowledge and gut feelings about how to get this dismissed, he did it. I’m so grateful to him and would refer Paul to anyone who would need a lawyer.
