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.

Hardworking, knowledgeable, and a winner
He is one of the most knowledgeable people I have ever met about the law. He was always open to listen to my many, many questions concerning my case (and I'm sure it was annoying to hear) but he never ignored me or made me feel like he was too busy or didn't care. He has extreme attention to detail a...

When I was afraid of the process, Scott Kent made a difference.
I live in Cook County. A warrant was issued for my arrest in DuPage County for injuring a small child.
