An answer to prayer

I am definitely a fan of Mr. Kent and his law firm. Originally, I made the regretful decision of allowing another firm to handle or should I say mishandle my case. After said law firm dropped the case without warning, I began the urgent search to find a new lawyer. Mr. Kent was literally the answer t...o prayer. I went from lawyer to lawyer hearing the "bad" news about my case. So, after falling apart and fumbling my way through prayer, I begged God to lead me to the right lawyer. The very next meeting I had was with a lawyer who referred me to Mr. Kent. I made an appointment, almost cancelled, and had my first meeting. He was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and confident; which enabled me to feel validated and confident as well. He agreed to take on the case and made sure that together we set realistic goals. Mr. Kent and his team then began the process of working their way through the mess created by the previous lawyer. They took the burden from my shoulders and for once I only had to worry about recuperating. With my previous lawyer, I was constantly told how much work I had to do but the opposite was the case with Mr. Kent. He and his team handled everything. Mr. Kent was also very available, and personally addressed any concerns I had. He was never too busy or too important to speak with me and that proved paramount in my perception of him. I worked personally with a young woman by the name of Gladis. She was extremely diligent, and also worked hard to earn my trust and respect. My experience with her was night and day compared to the woman I had the misfortune of interacting with at the previous law firm. Gladis was thorough and patient, and made sure I understood the process and felt comfortable every step of the way. Due to the hard work Mr. Kent and his team put in, as well as prayer, the outcome of the case was above and beyond what we would have considered successful. It was an absolute blessing to work with Mr. Kent and his team. To reiterate, Mr. Kent was professional, confident and very adept. I cannot speak too highly of his services or abilities. I regret not learning of him sooner and that I didn't get to shake his hand on the day we settled the case. I would love to extend a very public "Thank you" to Mr. Kent, Gladis, and the Kent law firm team for all of your hard work.

Kent Law is Absolutely Amazing!!

I was in my first car accident in 2014 while making a left-hand turn, the driver that hit me ran a red light but in Arizona left-hand turns are pretty much always at fault. So i was cited for failure to yeild on a yellow light (which was thrown out due to no witnesses) and every law firm i called wou...ldn't take my case because i was the left-hand turner. Finally i called Kent Law and they had my come in for a consultation that day, and i was relieved to find out they would take my case. So over the course of 2 years they kept in contact with me, giving me updates when requested, etc. Mr. Kent made me feel good about my case even when i felt discouraged because i knew it was going to be a challenge to prove i was not 100% at fault. Everyone i spoke too was very helpful and courteous, its not like the other law firms where you hire the lawyer seen on the commercials but actually get one of their associates. When it was time for mediation i was very impressed with how Mr.Kent argued my case, and he explained everything that was happening so i could understand and didn't encourage me to make any decisions i didn't feel absolutely comfortable with. In the end i was very happy with outcome, Mr.Kent and his staff worked hard and did a great job, i would absolutely go back if i needed to and would reccommend them to anyone looking for legal representation.

Good Job

Kent Law Firm did a good job most of the time. In the beginning I had to keep on them to get my case started. It was not until the 2 year mark, where I could not file a case anymore, that they decided to kick into gear and focus on my case. After they focused on my case, it was amazing!! I got phone ...calls every week with updates. It only took about 6 months to close my case, again once they focused on it. Overall they did an amazing job!

Very satisfied customers

Mr.Kent and his staff were very successful in assisting my father in a lawsuit which end results were much more successful in what we imagined. Mr.Kent staff always kept in touch and updated us in all information n progress of the case. Also very helpful & understanding of my father's medical conditi...ons & limitations. Always polite and patient. Did their best on behalf of my father.

Thank you for meeting with me today.

Thank you for meeting with my husband and I about our hit and run accident. You provided us with a lot of information and guidance. Even though we did not meet the requirements to move forward you were honest and provided us with many options. Thank you for offering to continue to help us should we ...require it. I will recommend you to my friends and family should they require legal assistance with an accident or injury.
