As a former prosecutor who worked in all ares of the State's Attorneys Office for 13 years, I have a very rounded knowledge of the criminal justice system. I've worked with thousands of police officers over the course of my career, and feel that I know what they look for when they investigate and arrest defendants. The best way to know how to win a criminal case is to know what the State needs to prove in order to win the case. I prosecuted every type of case, from traffic tickets to first degree murder. That is excactly why I am skilled at defending all types of criminal cases.

He saved me!
I had a battery charge against me and I told Mr. Kent I wouldn't take a deal. So we went to trial and I was found not guilty of all charges. He totally saved my job! If anyone I know gets in trouble, I tell them he's the only lawyer to use. Thank you Mr. Kent!

I found Scott to be easygoing, honest, and confident. I had no business winning my case, but Scott got all the evidence thrown out. I would use Scott for any case. He has been a prosecutor, which I think is what makes him so good at defending clients.
