About Kent
Biography
Hi! I am a second-generation estate planning attorney with over two decades of experience, and I have seen how even the best intentions can have negative results. Without considering estate planning, family members can be left in confusion, turmoil, or worse, after a loved one passes.
That is why my focus is on creating comprehensive estate plans that fulfill the wishes of professionals, business owners, and retirees to enable a transition that protects the remaining beneficiaries.
My vision is simple and powerful: provide every client with an exceptional legal planning experience. With a decade spent in the courtroom as a trial attorney, I understand how to help clients and their families protect against predatory lawsuits and stay out of court.
I have been featured in the media as an estate planning authority, including ABC News, NBC News, FOX News and Bloomberg Law.
When not at the office, I enjoy spending time with my wife, seven children and grandchildren. I love the outdoors and am an avid wilderness backpacker - I have even backpacked to the bottom (and back out!) of the Grand Canyon 14 times.

Estate Planning Attorney
Kent and his staff were friendly and very professional. From the first meeting we had a high degree of confidence in their expertise and knee we had landed in the right place. I wouldn't hesitate at all to recommend Phelps Estate Planning to close friends and family members or to complete strangers...
