This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Professional, Gracious, and Will Fight for You!

I have nothing but positive things to say. Usually in life we hope to never find ourselves in a situation where we need a lawyer, however I could not be more grateful I found Tierney Law Group. Kent Tierney is professional, gracious, and will fight for you. When working with Kent, I could tell he is ...a man of integrity and could feel his genuine compassion for people. He is highly skilled in his field and I never doubted his expertise and judgement when handling my case. Personally, I am not an expert when it comes to legal knowledge. Kent was very patient, walked me through each step of the process, and made things clear and concise. He was always welcoming and never made me feel foolish for asking questions or for want I needed. He was honest and provided me with reasonable expectations and peace of mind throughout. In the end, Tierney Law Group resolved my case to my complete satisfaction with less stress and pain than I ever would have expected. Before hiring Tierney Law Group, I absolutely dreaded having to get a lawyer. Now, I cannot imagine a smoother process. I cannot thank Kent Tierney and his team enough for how they handled my case! If you need a lawyer, do not hesitate to go with Tierney Law Group, you will not be disappointed. I highly recommend their team for Family Law, but I have no doubt they can do it all!

Awesome attorney, professionalism at it's finest!

Kent was very knowledgable about what needed to be done regarding my case and situation. He was always very truthful and didn't sugar coat things, which was refreshing. If something was not the most beneficial for me, he told me so, rather than just proceeding along, charging me the whole way! Sinc...e my case has been done, I've contacted him with a couple of questions, and he always gets back to me, and has been really helpful. He's very trustworthy and I would have no problems using him again for anything if necessary. This is how professional attorneys are supposed to be, and he's great!

Extremely Honest And Excellent Attorney

I found Mr. Tierney using Yelp. His reviews were excellent. He wrote a contract for my wife and I on a construction project. We have also used Mr. Tierney for several cases related to rental properties (evictions). He was very reasonable with his fees and extremely knowledgable. I don't write many re...views but I felt obligated to leave a review on Avvo because of their rating system. We investigated Mr. Tierney and were comfortable using him, we found him to be honest and extemely helpful. Don't rely on one site's rating system without investigating any attorney your going to use completely using all available resources.

Professional and insightful

Mr. Tierney advised me on a very personal matter regarding a very complex issue. His insight and recommendations have been extremely encouraging and precise.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I am currently opposing Kent Tierney in two matters. Family Law is a very high stress and high conflict area. Our cases are no exception to this rule. Mr. Tierney is always professional and a strong advocate for his clients. Unlike many family law attorneys that I have countered, I never feel like he is churning the billing wheel at the expense of our clients and their children."
