FELONY DRUG CASE

We hired Kent for me and my wife's cases... no only is Kent by FAR the best man to represent us but we consider him a great friend. Kent is very honest and will give it to you straight up Kent went out of his way for the both of us to get the best deal and didn't give up. All in all on a 10 yr case ...I never got any jail time. That to me is the best! I tell everyone about him and hands down he will be the only attorney I will retain ever. Thank you Kent for everything ! WE APPRECIATE YOU!

Life saver!!!

Mr. Star assisted me with a DWI case, which was my first offense in 36 years. Needless to say I was pretty stressed out. Kent put my mind at ease...several times. If I had any questions or concerns they were always addressed in reasonable time. I would strongly recommend him to anyone in need of a la...wyer.

Value of his defense far exceeded cost

I was charged with a DUI and was scared since this was the first offense (arrest) in my life. Kent helped guide me through the judicial process while putting me at ease when dealing with all the scare tactics that the authorities were throwing at me. Kent was worth every penny and could probably ch...arge more since he got results better than I expected (punishment was reduced from original DA offering). I hope to never need another lawyer again in my life, but if I do, Kent will be first on my list to contact. Thanks!

Felony case dismissed in a matter of days

I currently reside in Chicago but I had a felony charge in Dallas that was threatening my career and possibly, my freedom. I had consulted with a number of attorneys and most of them were telling me that I would have to fly back to Dallas and turn myself in and appear in court in person. A few had st...ated that there was a chance I would not have to go to Dallas, but there would be significant costs to make that happen. Kent Starr went over the details of my case and was very up front with me. He laid out what his plan was, quoted me a set price and within days of hiring him as my attorney my case was dismissed without me having to leave Chicago. His rate was very competitive and he did exactly what he said he would do. It can be very stressful when trying to find the right attorney to trust and I feel very fortunate that I hired Mr. Starr. Based on my experience with Kent Starr, I would recommend him to anyone looking for a confident, professional and knowledgeable attorney.

Incompetent and unprofessional

I had paid Mr. Kent to represent me on a case. However, the case was never filed. After I found out it had not been filed I went to go see Mr. Kent. He was not aware that my case had been dismissed and had performed no action or service on my behalf. When I asked for my money back he immediately insi...sted that it was indeed him who had talked to the district attorney to get my case dismissed. However, just a few minutes prior he had said he had no idea about the case being dismissed. He refused to refund my money and told me to leave his office and "do something about it"

Having a case dismissed is the BEST result any Client can desire. After hiring an attorney and by and through discussions with your attorney and the District Attorney for the State of Texas the case is dismissed, it is a shame that a person would NOT be satisfied with those results! I have NEVER had a Client not satisfied with a dismissal; that is one thousand times better than probation and/or the PRISON TIME in the penitentiary. Every Client and any attorney in the State of Texas would be ecstatic if their Felony was dismissed. This was the Best result that any Client could ever expect.
