Awesome DUI Lawyer!!!

I hired Kevin after I got a DUI in Downtown San Diego - not only was he very honest, but he was super knowledgeable and patient when explaining what was going on through-out the entire process. Very fair priced as well. I would definitely use Kevin again (hopefully will never have to) and recommend... him to others.

thanks kevin

Thanks Kevin, If you are in need of an attorney, I would highly recommend kevin denton. kevin has a very aggressive no nonsense way of dealing with me “the client” and the folks on the other side of the table. He definitely knows what he is doing and if he is not 100% positive of something, he h...as surrounded himself with other talented and knowledgeable people to assist in getting it done right. Combine that with his personal touch in dealing with you such as the fact that every time I have called his office I have either talked to him personally at that moment or directly received a return call from him. thanks to you again, chris

GREAT ATTORNEY

I recently retained Kevin to handle two misdemeanor cases for me. Both outcomes were better than I could have imagined he could get for me. Kevin kept me informed throughout the process and was available to talk after business hours whenever I needed him. He is one of the best attorneys I have used, ...and would highly reccommend him.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
