Very Pleased

Original charge was a felony DWI with child under 15, as a first time DWI offense. Hired Mr. Starr soon after for a reasonable, fair price. Although the impending charges were both life altering and hard to face, Kent Starr always made me feel like I wasn't a failure and made me feel more comfortable... with the court dates to come. He always showed up, even early and communication through text was extremely helpful. He always was very pleasant at each meeting and made me feel less nervous when going into court. Mr. Starr arduously worked with the courts until my case was plead down to a class B misdemeanor DWI. Much better than a felony. I would recommend this attorney, very sharp, confident and on top of his work.

Excellent Lawyer

I had one charge in the works, then was arrested again with a even bigger charge. I was expecting some prison time because of the charges. He worked hard and got me probation for both of them and I get to have both off my record with no jail time. He's really smart, knows what he's talking about. He ...doesn't bs or beat around the bush he's straight up and honest with you. As long as you work with him he will do his absolute best for you. Good man.

Gone baby gone. by Daniel Sexton

I was arrested for discharging a firearm in city limits. [allegedly] THEY [police] found no gun on me. In there discovery they said they found one!!!!!!!! I hired MR. STARR. After talking to him on the phone. Ive never hired an attorney in my life!! I was determined to take it all the way to court to... make them produce. This false GUN!! I couldn't afford MR. STARR. court fees im on a pention.. To continue. I was going to have to get a court appointed. We talked about this weeks before! He still fought for me!!!! he had the charges from class A to class C creating a disturbance. Traffic ticket the judge said. They wanted six months probation. MR STARR. had it knocked done to three. Then they wanted $400.00 court. HE went back in and got me time served. NO MONEY NO TIME. I walked out FREE AND DONE!!!!!!!! MR STARR had no more money to make. HE still fought for my life!!!! He's the man (lawyer) to have next to in a fire fight!! Court too! He didn't leave me behind!!!!! Most lawyers would have said no more money. Here you go judge see you latter bud! HE stayed and fought hard for me! I meant more than dollar $$ to him. GOD BLESS in your fight with the so called law. with there false discovery's. Lies. I had a so called friend threw drugs in my car. when we were pulled over. didn't clam it. So guess what. I'm in front of judge. He asked me why cant I pay the fine's. This was a huge amount of crack. how did you afford IT!!!! I looked up straight in his eye's. It wasn't MINE. We have a problem. He said! He saw I was telling the truth! My so called court appointed atty. snuck around me whispered in the judges ear. He would have dropped all charges. She wouldn't have got paid if charges were dropped. As the judge was doing some legal figuring. she (my att) was trying to get me to do 6 month boot camp. I looked at her like she was crazy. she was. the judge believed me!!!! I got I month deferred . no fines misdaminer . don't trust court appointed. thank GOD I found MR. STARR. I don't care if you look me up.

One of the best in texas

The DA decided to refile charges after Kent had made a deal. He was down there as soon as he could and told them what's up and fixed the situation. He even visited me in jail to ease my anxiety. I was out that same day. He is an awesome attorney.

Very helpful

Kent was very helpful and got my felony charge lowered to a misdemeanor. I got deferred adjudication and in a year can have it dismissed. Kent was always reassuring and on top of things. I would recommend him to anyone.
