Mclemore Review
I hired Kent in Sept of 2015 for a Felony case. His defense was second to none, and he helped me all the way through until it was off my record. I would recommend him to anyone in need of a criminal defense lawyer.

He knows the law and always had my best interest in mind, no matter the legal matter. When you hire Mr. McLemore, you hire a dependable partner to help you navigate the legal system and see it through.

We found the help we needed!
Faced with a abnormally complicated legal situation I was referred to Mr. McLemore after consulting with several parties that in the legal community whose opinion I respect. My experience with Mr. McLemore was outstanding. My prospects at a favorable legal outcome was pretty bleak at the onset. Mr. McLemore was always honest and realistic regarding the different directions that my case could take and never create false hope or let me forget the seriousness of my situation and at the same time gave me encouragement that he would work hard to represent and defend me before the court. I appreciate the patience that Mr. McLemore exhibited in handling my case in that he did not rush to get a ruling, collect his fee and move on to the next case.Allowing my case to "age" appropriately ultimately proved to be a brilliant strategy that resulted in my getting the most favorable outcome legally possible. He never judged me or made me feel like I was a societal outcast. I hope I never need legal services of this nature ever agin but if I do I know who I will call. Mr. McLemore restored my faith in the legal system and because of him I can say that Im thankful that we don't always get what we deserve. I would unequivocally recommend Mr. McLemore to anyone finding themselves in a situation where legal counsel is needed that wants to have confidence that they are good hands.

McLemore is your man!
Mr. McLemore recently represented me in a DWI case.
I was very nervous, as I have never been in trouble before.
My friend recommended him, saying "He's one of the best in town."
Kent made sure to go over everything in layman's terms so i would understand my next endeavor on taking care of the matter at hand.
You can't go wrong with this guy!
