Knows the law and can objectively assist you in your case

I appreciated that Jamie and his Assistant Alesha really took the time to review my case and all the details. They weren't automatically on my side because I was their client. Jamie always painted a realistic picture based on the law and his experience with judges and past cases. Jamie was not abo...ut mud slinging or name calling, just simply stating the facts based on evidence and history. He was on par with all his recommendations and how we should handle all aspects of the case from replies to motions, to the day in court. I ultimately worked with Jamie and Alesha for a year and they handled everything very well. Jamie is also straight forward and sincere, he will answer your questions about his own experience as well as really looking at your situation objectively to paint a realistic view of what the outcome may be. Jamie and Alesha were always very quick to reply and follow up with me. Although you never want to have to work with a family law attorney, if you find yourself needing one I would definitely recommend you start with Jamie Kent.

Knowledgable and Professional

I was referred to Jamie in 2012 for custody issues; and have worked with his office several times since then. Most recently, an 18 month long time share dispute that went to the Supreme Court. Both Jamie and his assistant, Alesha took the time to get to know me/my case. Weather I call or email, Al...esha is always readily accessible and willing to answer my sometimes countless questions. If she doesn't know the answer, Jaime always responds very quickly and his responses are very thorough, more importantly I am able to understand his responses. Before going to court, Jamie takes the time to meet with me to review my case and discuss possible scenarios. After these meetings my nerves are always calmed, because he is confident in what he does and his understanding of the laws. Without hesitation I would refer all of my family/friends to Jamie!

Amazing

Mr. Kent was instrumental in helping me maintain custody of my daughter. He did in a year what my other lawyer couldn't in the previous 5 years, which was protect the health and safety of my daughter. He's always kind, helpful, and very knowledgeable.

AMAZING!

I last minute had to find an attorney after the father of my son decided to randomly try and take custody of our son. It was a battle i fought along for the first 6 months because as a single mother, i didn't have the money. I researched and research as much as i could and did the best i could. Our c...ase went into trial and i broke down and got Jamie. IT WAS THE BEST THING I EVER DID! He was affordable, respectful, reassuring, HONEST (which you dont find in attorneys much) and very thorough in explaining everything with me. THANK YOU SO MUCH JAMIE!!!
