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.

A no vote of confidence

First of all…. The person who interviewed me for the PTD program asked more question about my situation than Kent did the entire time he handle my case, that person even showed more interest and concern about the events in my case. Second, Kent told me I do not have to plead guilty, coming to find ou...t; to get on the PTD program I have to plead guilty, first breakdown of trust. Third, I felt completely in the dark about what is going on with my case, even from the beginning, whether I have a strong case or a week case, was any rules broken, or procedures not followed, what are my options on the case, what course of action I should take, what documents have been filed or how my case would play out in the court room. I felt I was walking to my death; I had no reason to say I was confident in the way my case was being handled by Kent Starr, or any reason to believe he knew what he was doing. How can I say if he is knowledgeable about my case if he has not conveyed how he would defend my case. After multiple attempts to contact Kent, when I do if I do, I get an air of annoyance from him. I would not recommend this Lawyer to anyone.
