Exceptional Legal Support and Outstanding Results for Our Son

Four years ago, in 2020, our 14-year-old son, who attended a school for children with special needs, was seriously injured during a field trip due to poor adult supervision and lack of proper oversight throughout the event. Initially, we hired a law firm that unfortunately lacked both the experien...ce and the drive to resolve our son’s case effectively. Thankfully, we made the decision to transfer the case to Kent Law, and the difference was remarkable. Kent Law's approach to handling the case was exceptional. They kept us informed at every step, answering all our questions and maintaining excellent communication. We specifically worked with Alex, their Litigation Paralegal, who was absolutely amazing. In the end, Kent Law secured a successful outcome for our son, and we couldn't be happier with their integrity, dedication, and professionalism. They exceeded our expectations, going above and beyond, all while offering very reasonable rates.

Frankly, the best lawyer I've ever found!

This is the second time that I have come to hire Adam Kent at Kent Law, PLC. Once again, for the second time, I have been extremely pleased with his results. Mr. Kent is a fair, compassionate, and honest lawyer (And when do we get to say that about lawyers?…, but it is true!). He and his staff are... also one of the hardest working legal team that I have ever encountered. Even when the opposing side has thrown up obstacles, Mr. Kent and his team has been very triumphant by being thorough, meticulous, and relentless in their pursuit of a significant and meaningful outcome. To be very blunt and clear to all, Mr. Adam Kent and his staff comprise of the very best legal advocates I have ever found anywhere and I highly recommend his service to anyone who needs a champion to the cause of their legal matter.

Excellent Law Firm

I had hired an attorney to handle my case and I had to call him six months later to find out he had done nothing needless to say we parted ways so I calls Kent Law and hired them and they were right on it the staff was great and easy to talk to and answered every question I had up front and honest I ...would highly recommend them to anyone. Thank you so much Kent law for all your hard work and honesty best law firm ever!

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.

Smart, honest and a fighter!

I highly, highly, highly recommend Adam Kent. I was charged with Dog at Large in Chandler (crazy neighbor….long story). The neighbor was seeking restitution, to get rid of my dog, etc. While Mr. Kent and I agreed it was a ridiculous charge he took on my case and fought hard. I was thoroughly impresse...d with how much time and effort he put into my case. In the end I paid a small fine, paid no restitution and was able to keep my dog. There is no way that would have been the outcome if it hadn’t been for Mr. Kent. I cannot recommend him enough. Mr. Kent is a fighter and he made me feel like I was his most important case.
