Kent Pearce Tierney's Lawyer Endorsements
"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."
